  1. Couldn't it also be the case that Freese is on the way out?
  2. Good article. Thanks for sharing it. He hit on several things I've been wondering about. Specifically why isn't Seattle higher in the standings and how the heck does Oakland have such a high run differential.
  3. Glad I'm not the one who is going to get blamed for jinxing it.
  4. With a four game losing streak, Angel fans have officially lost their minds. Here are two of my favorite quotes from the last several days. "Our pitching sucks" - in response to Shoemaker leaving the game down 2-0. "I blame Dipoto, his trades messed up our chemistry." - You mean the one to trade Frieri away?!?! This board is fairly knowledgeable and even keeled. Facebook on the other hand . . . What have you heard that's made you laugh?
  5. More accurate today than it was yesterday
  6. I can't remember who said it in the other thread, but it was so funny I made an image out of it.
  7. The brewery runs ads during angels radio broadcasts.
  8. This might be the only place I can find people who have enough knowledge to hate on the Bootleggers radio spot with me. Good grief, I'm glad you found 4 buddies with no enthusiasm to record that piece of crap with you. It reminds me of the SNL skit with the burned out porn stars selling luxury hand bags.
  9. I listen through the MLB At Bat app. Being a T-Mobile subscriber gives me the upgraded account for free. I can listen to any game from either side.
  10. Quick! Somebody get Kevin Towers back on the line! This might be our chance to finally get that Goldschmidt/Cowgill trade pushed through.
  11. You gotta respect a message board post that references another message board post from 5 years ago. You would have gotten double points if you had included a link to that comment.
  12. The Phillies are exactly the kind of team I'm referring to but they have fewer prospects than the Angels. I would probably scream bloody murder if they picked up Papelbon. That might accomplish the impossible task of being a worse acquisition than Vernon Wells. Terrible contract, on the wrong side of his career.
  13. IIRC it was Buster Olney. Regardless, the point was that Howie has a no trade clause.
  14. Then how did he reject a trade to KC last year?
  15. I think that's a good point. But Howie and the other contract guys aren't going anywhere. They won't approve a move. Is there anybody without a no trade clause?
  16. Cron and Shoemaker are both exceeding the general consensus from scouts. That means they are premium trade bait. Sell high. Particularly to a team that doesn't understand regression or becomes deluded enough to think expectations could be even higher. We need relief pitching. We don't even need premium relief pitching. I think Jerry is shopping these guys pretty hard Probably Green too. Don't get attached.
  17. Today in the game Mark Gubicza explained that the hand sign means "We are Together". I found video here
  18. I'm looking for someone who has experience with both.
  19. I found this list and added to it with what I knew was missing. 2010 Matsui and 2011 Haren. I have 2008 Hunter and it's a Bobblehead but maybe 2010 is a figure (granting you grace while you're at work)
