Upton was vintage Upton a majority of last season.  He was just a steaming pile of shit the 1st 18 games.  After that (24 games) he was pretty great, .981 OPS.  

That's like saying he was good when he didn't suck.

Can't believe Boomer Biegalski didn't make this list.

Look on the bright side.  

I don't know what that is.

Unfortunately for them, it doesn't work that way. 

Idiots.

I was thinking the same.  Of course it's on them.

I'm assuming Helton is because of the park he played in.  Or is there other factors?

Are you saying that Bauer is not coming to Anaheim? Or does not want to come here?

The Angels are always the other team, mean to drive the price up.  I don't think anyone seriously wants to come here.

Mike Trout, Jered Weaver, Vlad Guerrero 

Wait! You thought Vlad was meh?  I remember having a perpetual smile on my face when they signed him.

You know who Stoneman was calling about right? Mr Viagra, Ralphie Palmiero.

No. But there's this thing called the Ignore User function that's amazing I hear. 

Seems like conversations would be weird if you're ignoring one of the members.

I must not follow the right people on Parlor.  Mine was rather dull.

Stroman is a #3 starter, at best...we already have a whole bunch of those guys.

The Reds in the '70s won a lot of games with #3 starters (and worse)

I remember a story of his when he was with the Cubs.  They were completely out of it at the end of the season and the manager said they should be playing for any records they could get.  In the game, Jay had already hit a triple and a home run, and his next at bat he slowed down and took a double even though he could have got another triple.  

He got fined by the manager.

I think Marsh is viewed as a better CF’er than Adell. His defense is supposedly top notch.

He also has a cool beard.  

LaStella was labeled as having an attitude problem in Chicago. Seems he’s doing everything the Angels are asking of him. 

Remember when it was said Albert would retire instead of playing as a mere shell of himself?

Good times.

not everything runs as smoothly as INO.

TMI dude, TMI

Amazing that the all star game would have been next week.

It was cool when Aybar did it to Verlander though, right?

Yeah Aybar shouldn't get in the hall either.

That is the sad reality.  It’s interesting what we considered important just a few weeks ago.  
 

Stay safe my friends.  

If they do several double headers it might be manageable.  Also thinking outside the box would help as well

Expand the ML rosters to 28.

Allow an new option for journeyman types so they can be moved back and forth from AAA to the majors. 

I never liked the option rule when it came to a fringe player near the end of their career. You would think that the union would protect players like that, but they don't.

I've been working from home, it's not that bad.  I feel for some of the casino workers - Boyd Group and TI basically gave the full timers a week pay and told to file for unemployment.  Part timers were laid off. 

My wife went a little nuts on food,  but now I think it might be a good thing.

With this season shortened or totally lost will Angels sign Albert to an extension? This would give Albert a chance to reach 700. What say you hubs?

Will baseball make an exemption that Albert can leave his walker by the batter's box when he hits?

So what makes a troll?  Is there a ratio of decent comments compared to asinine comments?

And if my ratio is too low, do I need to be a jerk more?

Because I am being optimistic? I am sorry that you are pessimistic about it. He is young. surgery is the last thing someone should want for someone young. Hoping for the best. 

Fine! Just put some Tussin on it.

Years back I was in Chicago at a White Sox game.  It was the Red Sox vs the White Sox and I got hammered and kept shouting Go Sox!! And laughing at my own joke.

Anyway there were two guys behind me and one was a fish.  He kept ordering more beers, and his buddy asked him :"Why don't you take one of mine?" "No those are yours" " But I have THREE of them, plus the one I'm working on!!"

Good times.
