Caralho

Only enjoyable parts of this team is watching Trout play and Weaver pitch when he is on. Otherwise this team is just boring or aggravating to watch.

Sell, sell, sell. I tried to hang onto hope as long as possible this season but it's over. 

Koufax and Ryan are laughing.

Koufax's blown out elbow is crying.

This is a video from my family's ancestral home, Terceira Island in the Azores. The tradition there is bulls on a rope with their horns capped. This video is just a small sampling of people getting hit by bulls, always a great laugh. I have seen this in person but I am smart enough to know not to get too close to these beasts.

It's a little less than 3 hour drive from Seattle to Vancouver as long as the border crossing goes smooth. I think plenty of people from Vancouver will go to Seattle for games due to the cost differential of tickets.

King Conger with the no doubter to right-center. 2-0 Halos!

Whatever Lackey did in the offseason, he looks like he set the clock back 8 years, very good velocity on the fastball and good bite on his slider.

What's wrong with wanting a plantation themed wedding? 

 

Seriously people, get a grip.

Black people serving white people with a plantation theme, nah nothing wrong there.

She wasn't under duress when she wanted a plantation themed wedding. It's not like her millions of dollars are going away, she will survive.

You and me both. People that visit don't understand why I'd be willing to walk that much further just for covered parking. "Turn on the AC for a minute or two" they say.

 

"HA!" I say.

 

I keep meaning to get the windows tinted, but I never get around to it. Seriously considering it happening in the next couple of weeks.

 

Meanwhile, I point my car to the setting sun and use the reflective dash protector when I have no choice but parking outside. It may not be a cure-all, but it saves blistering by accident.

You should definitely get your windows tinted, I have a black car that has had the windows tinted for a few years and it is worth it.

Say it like Pweeg. 

This sounds less like Ray and more like Rae.

I thought coaches don't matter so why criticize them.

I disagree.

From marketing to ticket sales to merch, having a once in a life time player boosts a lot for your company from generated income to value.

Signing him also accomplished a huge goal of taking an on the fence fan or casual fan and likely making them an Angels fan which has always been his primary goal.

Granted, no one will care when he's a DH in year 6-7. But the initial signing already solidifies a fan base and gets others to think this owner will do whatever it takes to win and jump on board.

Attendance went down slightly from 2011 to 2012 and looks to be stagnant this year. I'm pretty sure merchandise sales are split among all 30 teams so that's not that important. I guess you can argue that the decline would be steeper without Pujols.

Those mid to late 90's teams had poor starting pitching which means the bullpens get taxed earlier in the season. Also slumping in September might not be related to fatigue, it could be random or crumbling under pressure.

I'm pretty sure I gave you crap in the past so to you I say well done! That made me laugh a lot!

32 percent of the time for fastball? That sounds really low.

Because it's not his mom's house legally, it's Happybat and his siblings house. Normally life estates require the approval of all owners to sell so yes Happybat should get an experienced lawyer. I do know a real estate lawyer so feel free to shoot me a DM Happybat. 

I love seeing Jerome go from a decent starter to low-leverage situations. Great job boss!

Would it be inappropriate for me to call all you guys dumbasses when Scioscia wins a WS for the Dogs?????

What a silly assumption and yes it would be inappropriate. The Angels should be worried about their own organization and what their current manager does, not the possibility that said manager might lead another team to a title.

I commend you Adam, I would have started laughing for sure.

Buying a team, especially a decade ago, and having the value increase greatly isn't an indication of great business sense. Virtually every team in every sport has had similar increases.

You sound like Storm blaming people on here who might be misguided but actually want to see their team improve. It was stupid when he would say stuff like that and it's dumb when you say it YK. The stuff about Arte is spot on though, I like to talk crap about the Dodgers but in terms of baseball moves, you can't think about making them jealous or anything silly like that. 

I stopped wondering about whether players are winners or not after Jeff Weaver won a World Series in 06.

This is Mark McGwire's 538 foot bomb that I think hit the back wall of the Kingdome.
