zenmaster got a reaction from Torridd in THE CHOKELAND A's
Adam Dunn's quote is my favorite part by far. They made a big stink about him finally making the playoffs, the problem is, he didn't get a single AB.
A nice jab at BB:
"I guess the computer got me," Dunn said, referring to the A's "Moneyball" tactics.

zenmaster got a reaction from tomsred in I don't understand the gloating
We finally did something worth while and they had an epic choke. I consider it jabbing a rival. It's done everywhere. Don't over think this!

zenmaster got a reaction from maximus p in I love this screenshot
Honestly if you saw this before the season started and were told it would be us how many of you would laugh your asses off?
I give up the file won't attach. It's just the standings showing us up 11 and ten wins in a row.

zenmaster got a reaction from Angel Oracle in Another fun fact - 2013 vs 2014
55th loss in 2013 = July 28th
55th loss in 2014 = September 3
Not too shabby!

I've clenched plenty this season!

zenmaster got a reaction from Angel Oracle in Interesting article from CBS Sports re: Richards Injury
This is one way to polish a turd!
With that being said, I think we will see a dominant Weaver from here on out. I predict lights out.

zenmaster got a reaction from dimitrig in The A's since the Cespedes trade.
I would love nothing more than to see this team tank.

zenmaster got a reaction from stormngt in The Angels all-time leader for HR by a first baseman is...
Pujols has 70 already.

zenmaster got a reaction from CAAngelsLifer in Gameday Thread 8/18/2014 @ Red Sox - No Hamilton again
We should hire Frieri to some sort of position to throw some pitches to Josh in BP to get his confidence back.

zenmaster got a reaction from Angel Oracle in What can the Angels do this offseason?
A bit off topic but what would our rotation look like had we not traded Trumbo? Scary thought...

zenmaster got a reaction from Erstad Grit in What can the Angels do this offseason?
I'm convinced Mark Mulder is the answer.

zenmaster got a reaction from Taylor in More Trout Greatness
More Trout porn if you can get past the Kershaw and Abreu love.
That is some impressive company he might be joining.

Run, run, run: In his rookie season, Trout led the AL in runs scored. In his second season, he also led the league in runs scored. And this season? Yep. He just caught Brian Dozier of the Twins to tie for the league lead again. Here's the first reason that's so cool: In the past 50 years, the only men ever to lead their league in runs three straight seasons were Pete Rose (1974-76) and Pujols (2003-05). I've heard of them. How 'bout you?
But here's the second reason it's so cool: In the past 100 years, these are the only men ever to lead the AL in runs scored three years in a row: Babe Ruth (twice), Ted Williams (1940-42) and Mickey Mantle (1956-58). Wait. Who?
.900 miles: Trout is also well on his way to his third consecutive season with an OPS over .900. (He's at .979 at the moment). In case no one had mentioned this in the last 30 seconds, he's only 22 years old (for another day, at least). Want to know the only players in history who ever ripped off at least three straight qualifying seasons with a .900-plus OPS by their age-22 season? The complete list consists of Mel Ott (four in a row, 1928-31), Williams (1939-41) and Jimmie Foxx (1928-30). More information about their exploits can be found hanging in a gallery in Cooperstown, New York.
Extra credit: All right, here's one more. Trout needs just another 12 extra-base hits to reach at least 75 for the second straight season. Once again, the list of players as young as Trout who have 75 or more extra-base hits in back-to-back seasons does not include a whole lot of Jose Vizcainos and Nick Puntos. In fact, it includes just these three names: DiMaggio, Williams and Pujols. Any minute now, Trout will pull right in alongside them.
So think of the names that have shown up next to Trout just in the last few paragraphs: Ruth, Williams, Mantle, DiMaggio, Ott, Foxx, Pujols and Rose. Should we just start carving Mike Trout's Hall of Fame plaque now -- or wait a couple of weeks?"

I just wish CJ would have pitched yesterday.

zenmaster got a reaction from YouthofToday in Done: Lester and Gomes from the Red Sox to A's for Yoenis Cespedes
And they will re-sign Lester too. Good move for Red Sox. A's are definitely all in for this season.

The simplest solution is to just get rid of that extra wildcard spot that was just added. Unfortunately this won't happen.

zenmaster got a reaction from Vegas Halo Fan in The trade many of us wanted
We need to keep an excel sheet or something with all proposed trades by members with dates and names. This would be great to look at over time.
