I'm gonna echo AJ and say Arte probably doesn't give a shit about WAR. Pujols has been a marketable asset to him and the "milestones" sell tickets. I'm sure he's disappointed he paid $240 million for what Pujols has brought to the field, but ultimately I think he'd do that deal again.

Remember how casual fans in So Cal are. Most of them barely know who Trout is. They go to see Pujols rise up the HR ladder and occasionally hit a beach ball. Or they sell their tickets to opposing team's fans. Either way Arte makes money.

i agree.i don't think Arte cares much about WAR. He cares about AIS (asses in seats) 

curious to what a buy-out of Ausmus would cost mr.moreno?

Can you wait until the WS is over before making dumbshit comments?

did i wait long enough this time? btw..... original post still stands.....

I seem to remember reading on Angelswin that if Mike Scioscia became available, that he would be picked up in a flash. I haven't seen his name attached to any team looking for a manager yet. Am i missing something?

I predict a mid .600s OPS collectively for Gillespie, Murphy, DeJesus, and Victorino.

Way to improve the team, Stoneman.

You have NINE solid starting pitchers in the org:

Richards, Heaney, Shoe, Santiago, Tropeano, Newcomb, Ellis, Skaggs, and Nate Smith.

You can't have a 9 pitcher rotation in 2017.

I predict that you are related to Eeyore. Cheer down, mister......

Apparently, you're new here.

sure... new.

cheer down bubba, they won....

For as many years as you have posts.

couldn't tell. thanks for clearing that up......

is Mark68 actually a fan of the Angels?

guilty pleasures?

i love Shonen Knife... always have.

gotta love japanese girl punk-pop bands sometimes (like when you're awake!)

oh, and "they don't know" by tracey ullman

Something to think about in regards to "This team is good"......

 

Dipoto's first 537 games as the Angels GM the team's record is 292-246 Playoff record 0-3

Reagins last 537 games as the Angels GM the team's record was 294-243 Playoff record 3-7 

 

The players have changed but the results are pretty much the same.

Eeyore

rant freely, thats your choice i suppose

but.....

His name is Hamilton, AO. really, it is..... 

we are not in 7th grade anymore.

check electra townies on craigslist. they are a pedal forward bike, not so hard on the knees and great for short guys because the seat sets low.

i have a 21 speed townie that i can ride for 25/30 miles with no knee pain at all. they are not "speed" bikes by any measure, but comfortable as all get out.

i love Tom Petty and have seen him play many times, but something changed musically when Stan Lynch left the band that i just can't get past. my loss, i suppose.

my first concert was Alice Cooper on the welcome to my nightmare tour. (suzi quattro opened)

great player, that he was.....

15/16.  i guess i dosed off, might have been something to do with high school in the '70's.

it's never adding a dog..... it's compounding

Playing guitar is my job yet I don't own a lot / I perform , record and teach - I own a fender richie kotzen tele ( main stage guitar ) , a fender limited edition us Strat - surf green with a surf green head ! And a 69 fender tele reissue semi hollow - a Martin Dm acoustic and that's about it .

Next guitar I want is the Richie Kotzen Strat but I can't buy one in the the US it's Fender japan

The band I'm in is called The Cheektones and my acoustic duo is Drew Hall and Anton Teschner acoustic duo - both have a bunch of you tubes if you wanna check any if it out

what makes a "Richie Kotzen" Tele / Strat different than a non-richie kotzen tele / strat?

i checked out yr video's 

good stuff, mister..!!

I'll take 5 more runs.

looks like you got your wish.... just wrong team......

i have a handful, but my favorite by far is a gibson les paul custom that i saved up for what seemed like an eternity to buy in high school.

used to play all the time, not so much anymore.

they are expensive dust collectors now.

i love the sound of the Les Paul. i have never played one. figured it was above my skill level, i suppose. 

Funny you mention Bakersfield. My old band had a song called Bakersfield that was always was one my favorites. It was an alt country type tune. People seemed to really like it. 

 

Sound of Lies is great. I like Smile and Rainy Day Music a lot too. Haven't heard their last one. Smile had some weird dance sounding tracks or something on it that I remember were kind of odd for them. But, the song A Break in the Clouds is one of their great ones. It's got that whole Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris thing happening. 

i'd love to hear the song. diid you record it? 

a break in the clouds is a great song. the recording is wonderful, produced by Bob Ezrin. check out "stone cold mess" from their anthology record on iTunes. it was an early version of a break in the clouds. and was named properly.... just terrible. they are rereleasing those three records and are touring (sans Olson) later this year. i'm sure they'll hit the troubadour or some like-size venue. btw- the last album was a bomb.

Nice sweep against a divisional rival.

haha... (itshay starter...)
