Soooooooo...
 
Let me get this straight.
 
Author writes something negative (allegedly) about a negative situation...    LIES!  BLASPHEMY!  INSTIGATOR!  AVACADO!  ARSONIST!
 
Author writes something positive when we're in a positive situation...  
 
PULITZER!
 
It's the hypocrisy that actually lends credibility to the other side.

Ok, everyone chill.
Doyer game on soon.
Until then it's safer to guess who our next manager is. Someone start a thread...

I'd give anything to trade Hunter for Pujols.
They can have his stats too.

With logic like this, we might need to start outsourcing Angel fandom to India and China.
 
Sh|t.

Well, at least I told you Nelson was going to be a HUGE help for us - but you mocked me.
 
You laughed at me openly...
 
...
 
But you'll see...and then you'll apologize.
 
Guaranteed he'll at least get us 1-2 draft slots higher.   And then you'll thank me.

We can probably put a nice package and some offshore investment accounts together for Greinke.
Would be cool to have someone like that pitch for the Angels.

Not even close.
 
It's like the prayer many Laker fans had with the whole "woe is us, just wait until we're all healthy!  why is no one ever injured on other teams and we've had 100% of all NBA injuries?!??//"
 
The team then proceeded to play even worse once healthy.
 
If I had to guess (and it's always debatable), I'd throw out:
Yankees Dodgers Jays Marlins Athletics Though I should spend time looking through rosters as memory is fuzzy.
 
Injuries happen to every single team - only those that are very poorly constructed can't deal with them.

If my team was playing like theirs, I'D DRESS UP AS HELLO KITTY G'DAMMIT AND SING THE HELLO KITTY NATIONAL ANTHEM ON LIVE TV (not even sure if they have one, if not I'd write one).

I love Cuban.
He's the best type of owner when he's your owner.
And I love that he challenges the blue blood of sports ownership...right or wrong.

At first I saw
...carrying on with its machinations without regard to our lives, loves, hopes and dreams... and then I saw
...I look in his eyes and I see that same harried look of gutless cowardice... and finally
...have nothing to look forward to but a continuation of this spiraling black hole... and I was like "oh man I know the punchline, it's Scioscia!"
 
You got me.  I didn't see the light part coming.

Funny thing is, if Pujols was still on another team - everyone on Angel fan boards would say "You just now figured that out?!?!?" 
 
He's on our team, and it's "How dare you!"
 
There is no proof or smoking gun (or even smoke) other than accusations right now.  Relatively nothing.  Literally nothing.
 
But if something came out, would any of you be shocked?  Surprised?  Sure, maybe.
 
I don't believe anyone anymore. 
 
When millions upon millions of dollars are at stake and guaranteed, this isn't your 1952 MLB'er.
 
Rewards now can last many lifetimes.

Mark Reynolds??
 

I disagree.   It is a crappy product.
 
At least if you define watching baseball as entertainment and then further define it as what attributes of it entertains you.
 
I never said it's crappy because we lose.   Only a couple teams each year will realize true success.
 
It's also not crappy because of failed expectations.  Those are debatable each year.
 
It IS crappy (for me) because I get no entertainment from watching guys look like they are doing us a favor trotting out each night - and led by a manager that seems to be going into a diabetic coma all the time. 
 
Losing is one thing.  How they are losing is entirely unenjoyably.  That goes for half their wins as well.
 
Throw guys like Ersty, Figgy, Trout, and hell a bunch of Willits' scrapping each night to try and win and giving it 100%...and give me a manager who shows some fire when needed...and I'll see you at the ballpark tomorrow night.

So weird.  I dreamed of having an owner that would spend on par with the other big name teams (even with Dogs some...100M over us?), but little did I realize how un-fun it would end up feeling.
 
Guess I can't blame him for trying as the effort was at least a fun experience but...yeah...the Lakers will recover much, much quicker than us I'm afraid.   And with the Dogs getting all this national attention, it's the kick in the nuts.
 
Give me scrappy small ball again and even if we barely can fight for the last WC, I don't care.  I'd actually watch instead of just have the game maybe on in the background, then check boards later.
 
I _literally_ don't know an Angel fan who has any idea what this organization is trying to do at this point - game after game.  Not one.
 
Sadly, I don't think they do either.

The commish needs to step in and block this...
...in the best interest of my baseball.
