Per Jon Heyman

I still find the idea of trading a 24 year old generational superstar, who is under team control for a reasonable (for him) amount, for the sake of "rebuilding" the franchise kind of laughable.

You rebuild the team around him. Trade Street, Smith, hell even Kole before you even entertain the idea of trading Trout. I don't think this team is as bad as people here think it is, but at the very least you could build a younger "contender" team by 2018.

Cabbage patch kid butt cheeks made you think of Wally Joyner?

Of course, I find it strange that Cabbage patch kid butt cheeks DOESN'T make you think of Wally Joyner....

This team has been actually pretty fun to watch since "Rally Cat: Part Deux" showed up. Chacin was solid tonight.

Funny, I got DM's on Twitter and Facebook asking how much I'd sell it for.

The birth date on the Cabbage Patch Kid's buttcheeks is 1986. 

My first thought was Wally Joyner

This girl and I were the rally kids at Safeco tonight.

Not pictured is the corpse of the dead rally monkey sacrificed by the Richter family. Hey anything for a W right?

Breaking News: Guys named Matt, who play for the Cardinals, hate cats. Also Weaver blows.

Breaking News: Matt Carpenter hates cats

All hail our new Lord and Savior The Rally Cat:

Okay Shoe, repeat after me:

"You no help me now, I say F&#k you Jobu, I do it myself."

Also I don't think there are curses that cause you to forget how to pitch down in the zone, just sayin....

Aybar for Trout, pull the trigger Eppler!

I am a huge stats nerd, and absolutely love it, I especially love having kind of one place where I can get all the info I need. I think what separates you from other sites is that you tend to come from a fan-first mentality, and it really shows.

So far I think the new forum/site is awesome.

Can we acquire Nolan Ryan, and have him pitch for us?

So sorry to disappoint.

I'm actually disappointed in myself if that makes you feel better.

Nope. I'm sure you will figure it out Chuck, after some bourbon infused inspiration.

All hail the new Angelswin.com!.....looks just like the old Angelswin.com......wait it is the old angelswin.com.......screw it, just go back to HTML 1.0, I heard its supported on Netscape Navigator!

DFA him, he is clearly only the second best player in baseball...what a letdown.

How I feel every time Shoemaker pitches

It's funny working in IT, and looking at the "new features" post, i'm having this eyes glazed over look because I keep having nightmares of all the vendor presentations I have to deal with at my job.  

Also as a Network Engineer, the term IPS means something entirely different to me, lol

So my cold skeptical nature refused to listen to this at first because I my first thought was "Chuck is using his website to promote a song featuring his kid in it", but the song won me over, its really well done, and I imagined a really cool Trout highlight package on FSW with this song playing. I'll go quietly eat some crow now...

I've been an Angels fan for about 30 years now. Up until the early 2000's most Angels teams were mediocre, and the ones that were pretty good would fold in the most heartbreaking ways (see 1986, 1997), but I still watched as many games as I could, and loved every inning of it. Even if this team is mediocre I can at least enjoy the fact that on any given day, we have THE best player in baseball.

Things aren't as bad as some people on this message board think they are. Calm the F$&k down turbo.

" Haters equal motivation for me" Weaver said. "I feed off it".

Jered Weaver says he plans to start Sunday vs Rangers. He threw a simulated game today where he said he threw up to 86 miles per hour. He said he's very confident and " 100%".

Nice

Hold on let me fix this typo.....

 

He threw a simulated game today where he said he threw up to 86 8.6 miles per hour.

 

...okay now that is more accurate.

This team doesn't seem to be off to a very good start.

Quick, someone sacrifice their first born.

Again?? 

My wife is getting tired of popping out kids every year for the sake of sacrificing to the Baseball Gods....can't we just buy a Billy goat or something this year?

 

• The Angels have acquired right-handed pitcher Troy.......

 

Percival?????

Glaus????

Helen of????

......Scribner from theAstros in exchange for cash considerations, tweets Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle. Scribner, 24, spent the entire 2015 season at High-A ball. He posted a 5.49 ERA with 9.99 K/9 and 5.13 BB/9. His best campaign came in 2014 when he showed substantially better command and topped out at Double-A.

I am going to have nightmares over the sound of that stupid A$$ horn that keeps going off in between at bats.

I am optimistic that R.A. Dickey's knuckleball will be faster than Jered Weaver's fastball.
