LAA Road Tripper

I've said this multiple times..   But if the Angels make Cole the sole focus and wait on him allowing other pitchers to go elsewhere -- then they got played and Eppler dropped the ball.   They need to sign someone upper tier and have him locked up then focus on Cole.   If ever there was an off-season where Arte needed to just say "F-it" and throw some money, even risky money it's this one.
Ive never been an Arte needs to spend guy, I've never called for crazy FA signings and am particularly critical of going ape-shit on FA SPs but, they are in a situation where they absolutely need to roll the dice and acquire SPs.   Yeah they can dip into their farm and trade for a guy but despite the gains they really arent deep enough to blow their wad yet.

Angels and Rockies. Only two franchises to never lose 100 games. So we’ve got that.

Exactly.
The name change was stupid because of the "of anaheim". That was due to contract. It ended. Its old news now.
It was also a long term decision. It wasnt about what current people cared about (in 05). It was what people down the road would. 
You get out of the LA basin and nobody knows where the F anaheim is. 
The only people who still have an issue with it are LA people who think theyre better than soft ass OC, and OC people who think theyre better than dirty ass LA.

My job takes me all around the country. It’s always interesting to get the local flavor across the US. Having grown up in Southern California and still live here, I’ve always found it interesting how this area gets so caught up on county boundaries. Literally no other place is like it. I was in the Minneapolis area earlier this week and went from county to county without any impact of note. No one who lives in Edina is hit with “Well, it’s not really Minneapolis or Hennepin County.” But in SoCal a different county is like a different world. Look at a map, the old kind with yellow representing population. You know what you see when you look at the entire metro area? One metro area from Calabasas to Ranch Cucamonga to San Clemente. Every other place in America would consider that a city.

I think this is the first time where everyone on AW feels the same way.  
congratulations Brad.  You have aligned Israel and Egypt.  

I can't remember the last time I turned off a winnable game...  It was such an absurd move....  Who the F was going to play left field should they have tied the game? There was so much stupid beyond just Bour for Fletcher I'm genuinely perplexed....  Was he really playing for a HR in that situation????
Unreal

Actually, they did. They beat Cincinnati 4 games to one and won the AL quite comfortably. But they did lose the World Series in both ‘60 and ‘62 if that matters.

I love the red uni's.  they're my favorite.  

I never envisioned a scenario where I would pull for the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series but here we are.

Just what an incredibly terrible and tragic situation. My heart really goes out to Jessica and her family, praying for them a peace that goes beyond understanding because I doubt that understanding exists right now. I cannot imagine the pain and confusion that the Cox family is enduring. Very, very sad. Mike rightfully needs to be with his wife as long as possible while dealing with his own pain of losing a friend. I'm sure Trout will be back at some point in 2018 but that is so secondary to everything it's hardly perceptible.
