Winning the series the rest of the season doesn't even put them at 90 wins. But it's hilarious to even think they could win every series going forward. The postseason hunt is over. Getting swept by Seattle was the end.

i don't want to speak ill of the deceased, but clearly crunchy is the best. i like to think that lou knew that somewhere deep down.

I know it's his funeral/memorial, but I'm sure if he were here he'd say the same thing.

I'm sure there's plenty more of you that deserve a hug and a handshake, but thank you @mrwicked, @Tank and our friend from across rhe pond @WicketMaiden for being there for Lou behind the scenes as he was going through all of this.

A few months back we had an epic PM going.  I can’t dare share 99% of it, but I think Lou would be ok with me sharing this bit:

My name it's Patrick (known as PJ) to my brother Lou. My family and I have been following this since it was first posted and even created accounts. Most know by now that Lou passed peacefully in his sleep on August 8th at approximately 5pm while The Ocho was on TV (c'mon, you know he loved all sports even the weird ones, like Cricket). He constantly bragged about AngelsWin, all the fun times he had here and the trips to watch The Halos play, home and away with you guys. You all were his extended family and loved every minute he spent on here. To see him spend his last several days reading your posts and thoughts about him brought a smile (and tears) to his face, as it did his brothers and sister. All of us have also been keeping up with this post and you will never know how much we appreciate the love, memories, thoughts and especially the pictures you have shared. Our greatest memory with him was being in the front row at the left field foul pole for the Angels 2002 World Series win. All of us hugging and crying tears of joy at the site we thought we would never see. Close 2nd was Barry Bonds flipping us off during the game because Lou kept leading our entire section in a "sterrrroooooids!" chant while we were jamming a Thunderstick into our arms. Honor him by keeping his memory and stories alive. Celebrate his life. "LouDogg" was a smartass until the end and continued to make us laugh until his last breath.
Sincerely, 
The Garcia Family

this dude speaks like every career politician. they all overinflate their accomplishments, while deflating the accomplishments of everybody else. most of their claims can never be backed up. it's just inflating a pretend balloon man with hot air.

I believe it means "The Palma".  You're welcome.

i mean kinda. i don't think anybody likes laziness or entitlement, and the appearance of those are going to garner ill will. you've read from me before, i think it's stupid to call a player a pussy, because obviously they are not. but i think a player can be unmotivated and disinterested, and i think i see a lot of that in tony two games. also, on a personal level, i just have zero respect for a person that can't even take five minutes to talk to the orange county softball media who are just trying to do their jobs. i think everyone can agree this ain't exactly the pressure of the big city media.

this is the sole reason why although i side with the players on their contracts and ability to get paid earlier in their careers, that i never agreed with longterm guaranteed contracts. nobody should have that kind of security. it lays the groundwork for the worst in us.

“I’m gonna go get the papers… get the papers.”

Two years from now, someone will post, "Internal bleeding. It's bad."
 

Never said that the injuries were Nevin's fault. Just that I could see Nevin going first before Perry in Arte's world. 

I like Perry. He'll prob be a fine GM for another team. This job was probably just a stepping stone for him.

Players executing as well as an absurd amount of injuries. Perry got a crazy amount of depth in the offseason and then brought in 5 more players when the depth was decimated. Perry is doing what he can with what he has available to him. If he gets fired i would be legitimately pissed. No GM could do more with Arte than he has to this point. 

do me a favor, don't agree with me. it makes me feel badly about my position on topics. i doubt we would agree on unions at all. can unions be out of balance? yes, as is true with all things. but i am decidedly pro-union as a general position. the workforce needs an organized party as representation for them to ownership. i think we see in america what a work force of the general populace gets without a voice. they get long hours, less pay, and shit canned as soon as seniority and work experience cost more than two entry level employees.
