  1. My favorite part, although I don't know exactly what it means:

    X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;}

  2. The philosophy of this team for years was to develop up the middle - pitching and middle infielders. Now through trades all the middle infielders and pitching prospects are gone. A trade of Aybar or Kendrick would net some good talent, but at this point there is no one to replace them with.

    We used to complain that Stoneman held on to prospects for dear life, but I would rather have that than a bunch of non performing, high priced free agents here.

    The philosophy is extremely simple, build a strong core, trade or sign the other pieces you need. Play to your park, where half your games are played. For Angel Stadium that means more pitching and defense. A strong minor league system is essential.

    So I see this as a fail on Dipoto's part.

  3. This place will be so goddamn awful the rest of the year. I can't even imagine what this place would be like if the Angels went into full blown rebuild. I'm sure most would say that they would prefer to rebuild than deal with this, but my guess is there would still be an entire front page of bitching and complaining. How can you even care this much about the results? I've just kinda gotten numb to it all and realize that this isn't going to be our year....again.

    True. For us old time fans, there were a lot of years like this. We got spoiled with the years 2002 - 2009. What we see now is true Angels baseball.

    It's almost like a bad girlfriend. She'll rip out your heart, then give you hope, only to rip it out again.
