  1. Adell not in the lineup again? I would have thought he’d be getting a lot more playing time this spring.
  2. Yawn. Looking very forward to the day he's not an Angel anymore. What a complete disaster FA signing.
  3. I wondered about that too. Just ultra shitty if that's what it is.
  4. At least we will likely see the end of the "Tungsten Arm" BS... Sadly, it's gonna be replaced by all the "He's actually having fun playing baseball now" BS instead. While I certainly appreciate how great he is, I won't root for him because I hate the team he's on now, simple as that. I always appreciated Derek Jeter too, but I never rooted for him for the same exact reason. I suspect I'll be lightning quick with the remote to change the channel when his highlights come on for awhile. If the Halos can get back to winning someday, that will make this all a lot easier for everyone here to not care about Shohei leaving anymore.
  5. This was mine. The SI cover afterwards with the caption “Hark the Heralded Angel Swings” was incredible
  6. We may be long lost brothers dude. All those were my bands too. But my first cassette was KISS-ALIVE II. Bought at Gemco...thx for the loan Grandma!
  7. Any idea why it went down like that today with Shohei and the team photo? That’s pretty odd even with all the other oddities going on this season. The whole thing, with him being there then ushered out the back gate?? Wtf?
  8. Pujols Vernon Wells two way tie between Luis Sojo/Junior Felix. Just a horrible trade for us as usual. Then that fat-faced fk Sojo goes to SEA and hits the "3-hopper heard around the world" in the 1-game playoff disaster after doing absolutely nothing in Anaheim.
  9. I’m sorry you’re going through it man. Thank you for saying this though. As for me, the typical “numbing” started about 3-4 games into the L7. I’m just gonna try and enjoy watching 17 for the last 1.5 months in our uni. I’ll be back all fired up again next Valentines Day tho, knowing my stupid brain.
  10. I don’t think they’ll see .500 again this year. But since it’s the fkn Angels, I’m guessing they’ll win like their last 6 or so to finish 80-82. It’ll be reminiscent of Tim Salmon’s 299 HR.
  11. I hope the silver lining from this is that the owner decides to sell after losing Shohei. A guy can dream.
  12. Stew Cliburn, Rick Miller, Dick Schofield just to name a few.
  13. The team really really needed Reid to show a little bulldog tonight. He was not that. That’s just who they are. Shrinking when they need to stand tall. I fucking HATE being a fan of this team tonight. Even more than last night. I gotta figure out a way to unplug. They ruin my days…and I’m 54 with a whole bunch of other stuff to worry about. For some reason it makes me despise the fucking Dodgers even more
  14. I am a Nevin fan, but I think Perry might actually do Phil a solid (for his mental health) by letting Benji take over for the rest of this annual disaster. I suspect that all the players will wish Phil well, say that it’s not on him (it’s not.) and hope he gets another chance with a decent org next time. Even by Angel standards, this last sequence is pretty impressive “Angeling”. Drop that drubbing on Colorado then this?? Everyone remember that night??? I was forwarding my daughter all the links. “We’re good this year honey, for real!” Shit like that. I’m so stupid for even entertaining that. I knew it in short order when they lost the very next morning to lose that series. So did everyone here who’s been a longtime fan. I thought that was one of the biggest games of the season right there. “They HAVE to win that fucking series!!” The SP collapse lately, the ongoing RISP stuff, Ward, Rengifo, Renfroe, Walsh, Trout (before IL) all having down seasons simultaneously..aside from a couple questionable lineups and bullpen moves, I cannot see how this is on Phil. At all.
  15. Brutal AB 17. Cmon offense goddamn it! So frustrating to watch. And I’m sorry for being such a Failo everyone. 46 years of this shit now though…I actually googled “How to divorce fandom from a sports team” yesterday Yeah….there’s just no way. I’m screwed.
  16. Sandoval is up there for the biggest disappointment award for the first half. I don’t enjoy watching him pitch. What’s the opposite of a bulldog? Whatever it is, he’s that.
  17. Should Perry look outside the org for another utility-type dude or just go with what's on the farm? Didn't Charlie Culberson just get DFA'd? Maybe a clean peanut there?
  18. I wonder if this is a preemptive move to replace Fletch or Stefanic at SLC in a potential trade? I can't see any reason why they would need Daniel Murphy at all, unless he can play 1B also?
  19. I think Texas is going to win the division by a pretty decent margin. I could see them going to the WS. I have zero faith in the Angels to get any better than they already are right now. I don't think they'll finish over .500. I hope I'm wrong.
  20. Yeah that whole thing puzzles the hell outta me. Being back “home” with a gigantic contract to boot, I thought that Joe was gonna find another gear in his managing skills but he went the other way sadly. Seemed like he was too smart to rest on his laurels and resume as a skipper…disappointing as that was, I’m really happy that it led to Phil getting the gig. I see a lot of comparisons to Scioscia when he got the job. No BS, tough guy, huge baseball IQ, decent cred as a player in the big leagues. Also, his connection to SoCal and as an Angel (briefly) makes me think he was a really great choice after the Ill-fated Mohawk situation. Another thing was that I was still living in Reno when he was the skipper of the AAA team there. They needed to sweep like a 5-game series from hated rival Sacramento to make the PCL playoffs and they fucking did it. I thought right then that Phil would get a shot in the bigs. I’m happy it’s in Anaheim
  21. I had to turn it off. I can't watch this movie again and again. 12 LOB already in the 7th. Boring baseball.
  22. Being shutout by a fucking Oakland A’th no name Lefty into the 5th…this is not what I had hoped for when I saw that lineup posted.
  23. The other big benefit of this is that he’s fairly likely to destroy the PCL again…substantially increasing his trade value from where it stands now.
