Bingo.

Yes because reflection and reassessment are always terrible ways to run your life.

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/angels-262343-lineup-hitters.html Four years seems like a looong time ago.

Maybe I'm just naive but isn't the whole organization failing at this point? I just don't see how anyone can be above criticism or have job security.

It's not a question of Sosh or Diptio, it's both that have done enough to lose their jobs at this point.

It's easy to talk about how miserable things were in the 90's.'02-09 was a good 8 eight year run, but now it's been three straight (probably four) of no playoffs and things are getting progressively worse. I think any talk of how bad things were back in the day are quickly being negated by how bad things are now.

The Angels suck against more than just Houston.

Big difference between Ortiz and Pujols if you are looking at longevity. Ortiz has spent his whole big league career as a DH, and didnt start playing full time until he was 27 in 2004. Pujols at 33 playing everyday at 1b since 2001 has WAY more mileage on his body.

Problem is not only do the Angels need pitching, but they need hitting also.

Is he playing worse because of an injury, sure. But if this year was to keep in line with his gradual decline over the last five years, then the best we could ask for would be around .270/27/.800, not terrible but again that would be more in line with what we would expect 5 or 6 years into the contract, not year two.

Stopped reading.

God Da**! That was fun to watch!

Common sense would dictate that when things are going well there probably isn't too much to bash, and when things are bad, there are reasons to bash. But again, to me, that's just common sense.

Seriously some of you need to diversify your sports interest beyond the Angels and this site. Go read some other message boards and then say that the posters on this site have "superfan syndrome".

This is the worst post I have ever seen on this site.
