we got the new bartolo!!!

Well Bartolo did win a Cy Young with us.....

I will be sorely disappointed if this song doesn't end up in the regular rotation of worship music at local OC Churches. All hail the Lord God Trout.

My specialty is IT so I don't have much to add to the song, but I really enjoyed the original release. Can't wait for the remix!

I consider myself someone who leans on the "left" side of the political spectrum, and support anyone's right to express their freedom of speech, but with that being said, I find kneeling or not being present during the National Anthem incredibly disrespectful, and I wish they would have found other ways to protest personally.

I remember going to SafeCo field to see the Angels play the Mariners this season, and I was walking around the stadium looking for my seat, passing all the hustle and bustle of Edgar Martinez jersey retirement night, and I remember the second the National Anthem started, everything went still and quiet, all hats were off, hands over hearts, even in "liberal" Seattle. Gives me chills just thinking about it.

I don't care about how or why the National Anthem started being played before sporting events, what I do care about is the fact that I feel it shows a certain respect for our Country, and those who have given their lives for it. This is my personal belief on the issue, and is not meant to win any kind of argument with someone who might disagree with me, as I would gladly give my life to protect their right to disagree with my opinions.

I like Victor a lot, you can tell he loves baseball and will call guys out on crap, and he isn't like Phys who would sugar coat everything. My only complaint is that it seems Victor is making a lot of mental mistakes this year, calling incorrect names, it's not very often, but as someone who has watched about 75 percent of Angels games over the past 10 years, it seems worse this year for some reason.

Absolute class act. He took less money to stay with the Angels. He is in my all time fav Top 5 Angels.

This is a completely different team from the 7th inning on, I'm at the game and I am enjoying so Mariner fan tears currently. Just no Bud Norris please.

See you in 2021 Shoe, after the plasma injection fails, Tommy John surgery, and a season of "setbacks".

I still can't believe his number hasn't been retired. The good news is that Scioscia hasn't issued #15 since he retired (I believe.)

It depends on how much "Forearm tightness" our pitching staff has in April.

Kyle Abbott had one hand too many to succeed as an Angel.

This year's Angels Win fan fest in Tempe will now feature keynote speakers David Ortiz, and Gronk. Its gonna be a wicked awesome pawty!

AngelsWinExceptToTheRedSox.com name change coming soon.

Sold out to the Red Sox sports network, for shame Chuck for shame! /s

On a more serious note, I do hope this helps financially because I know you've put your blood sweat tears and money into Angelswin for the last *cough* years.

Since Shoe is pitching today does that mean it's the end of the Angel offense that we've seen the last two days?

Lets Go Halos..keep those bats hot for Shoe! 

It was almost the end of Shoe...

That was basically like getting beaned in the head by Aroldis Chapman with no helmet on, plus about 3mph.

Thank God he can walk off the field after that

Seattle broadcast says it was 105mph when it hit his head.

Honestly, I don't care if he pitches again this season, I just want Shoe to be ok.

This isnt good at all

What in the actual fuck is going on in this orginization. See you in 2018 Nate.

I really wanted to see him succeed, and I still hope he figures things out, but on behalf of the Angels fans everywhere

:

I still get excited watching this team play, there are certain days where I am more excited (When Shoe or Skaggs start), but what I love about baseball is that on any given day everything can come together even for a "terrible" team. Maybe my point of view has to do with the fact that I live pretty far from So Cal these days,

I still have the same frustrations as everyone else does, and still cussed out Street for blowing the save the other day (and was secretly glad that he went on the DL), and I am pissed we traded Santiago for another Hispanic Joe Blanton, but I still look forward to watch as many Angels games as possible, even if my expectations are low this season.

I haven't lost my excitement for my favorite baseball team, I am just disappointed in how the organization is being run currently.

In best WWE Booker T, tell me they did not just include Busenitz in the deal? 

I think the Twins front office is doing their best Booker T "SUCCCCCKAAAAAAA"

What sucks about Santiago is that even though he had that "Ervin Santana - Ramon Ortiz" disease where one day he would pitch like Pedro Martinez, and then he would pitch like Joe Blanton, he was young, and also a great clubhouse and community guy. Unless Meyers pans out this is a shitty trade.

Jesus Castillo to the Angels for Joe Smith. 

So Nolasco is Blanton 2.0. Meyers is interesting, but this trade didnt make much sense to me.

Scioscia loves him those scrappy veterans!
