NJHalo reacted to Butcher'd in Frieri is finished as closer!
comedy.
You can't seriously believe Dipoto has just "run into some bad luck". It's called poor scouting, and your boy Jerry epitomizes that in the relief department. I'm all about results, and in the last 3 years the results out of the pen have been disgustingly bad. There is no small sample size argument to be made here either. Billy Beane never seems to have a year of "bad luck" from his pen. Why? Because he's a great talent evaluator and can find gems for cheap unlike Jerry. Dipoto's first year he signed Hawkins and Issringhausen...took him until late May to realize that wasn't good enough then he finally traded for Frieri when we were pretty much buried because of our terrible slow start (in large part because of the God Awful pen). Last year he brought in Madson (coming of TJ), and Burnnett (coming off shoulder injury I believe) and expected that to be enough. It wasn't. Shocker. This year he decided to keep Jepsen, trade for Salas, and keep Frieri (proven failure in closer role) at closer. All 3 of those decisions have already cost us a handful of games and it's not even May. His only good move to date has been Joe Smith and maybe DDLR, but we haven't seen enough of him yet.

This is on management now in particular upper management. I know Sosh keeps troting this crap out there but Dipoto created the problem..Im not even mad at the players anymore this is on Dipoto.

This bullpen has been terrible for years and we continue to do nothing about it.

NJHalo reacted to Tank in 10 things you may not know about Disneyland
the FB page i visit recently had a huge discussion about the existence of an underground network of tunnels. the conclusion is that while there is one tunnel, it does not connect to the entire park. there are several underground areas that serve as break rooms and such, but only disney world has the vast network of underground tunnels that connects the entire thing.
i never even thought about people dumping ashes of loved ones there, but it certainly makes sense that people would try.

NJHalo reacted to Vegas Halo Fan in Derek Jeter Night at the Big A
I would like to take her to a home game sometime. I would have liked to have seen a game in the original Yankee Stadium, but it was not to be.

Class move by Washington fans giving Albert the standing ovation.
History is history. They were smart enough to embrace it.

I bought my tickets for this game the day they went on sale, because the wife is a Yankee fan.

NJHalo reacted to halomatt in Trade idea
serious question: Since the Angels are on the hook for the guaranteed Wells contract, could they call him and tell him to suit up? I know he sucks balls, but I'm more interested in the scenario. If he's not under contract with another team, don't the Angels, who are paying him NOT to play also have the right to PLAY him? Just a question I had...

Baylor going down before the season started should have been a sign to not go long on the Angels 2014 season.

NJHalo reacted to Chimi in Game of Thrones
There are dragons yes, but they are a thought to be extinct creature so there are only three. It's not like Lord of the Rings in terms of fantasy. There are no monsters or elves or any real mythological race or creatures outside of the three dragons. Magic is also very scarce. It does have fantasy elements but nothing to the extreme of Lord of the Rings.
You should watch it because the story is terrific and the shows production value rivals anything that comes out of Hollywood as a motion picture. It doesn't look like a TV show.
