Here in Atlanta we have OHoppes all over the place.   I enjoy their banana pancakes.

I find it comical that we’re waiting for the owner to die.

WWE fans who are tired of bad creative plans were doing the same.  But a scandal bailed them out.

Extra points for the Drivin N Cryin reference

I took this as a joke prediction, or not something to be taken seriously.  A wacky, far-out prediction.

Living in the ATL, I can't see Liberty Media shelling out what it would take to sign him long term.  They don't usually spend (Matt Olson contract notwithstanding, but that money would have gone to Freeman anyway).

But I've been surprised before.  Not expecting it.

Hey @Capital_Dave, @BluegrassHaloFan, @ScruffytheJanitor, @AngelsFaninGA, @AngelFanInTheATL anyone else going to be at any of the games this weekend?

I'll be there Friday and Saturday. 

Sadly, no!   Long story but I am out of Georgia for the next 2 weeks.  Really bad timing on my part.  Truist Park (and the surrounding area) is a blast.  You'll have fun!

That was in response to Stradling.  I guess I can't figure out the quote function.

It's fake, just like the NFL Schedule Leaks account was fake, but a lot of people fell for it.

One of the three guys on the MLB pre-draft show picked Holliday.

The culture is what's really lacking. The black hole bottoms have no fire in their step. Even Trout looks deflated playing along side these ham m eggers. Ohtani the only one showing any fire, and he's as nice as they come. Need a few Odor types on this team to ruffle feathers in the trenches. Look at his reaction off that base hit with 2 outs, thats what the halos need. Team looks like a bunch of dads at a beer league wanting to get it over with to go hit up Shakey's.

Solid Bobby Heenan reference.  I would have also accepted an insult to Big Bossman's mom.

Incorrect by any measurement of the current M's outfield offensively or defensively.  

 

It's certainly not enough to contend with the A's, Tigers, or Halos though.  

Sure, it's a better outfield on paper.

I meant that I don't see them winning any more games because Austin Jackson is on the roster.

Not really sold on Austin Jackson.  Price more likely to re-sign than Scherzer, so this is insurance for beyond 2014.  Smyly is OK, but not the ace Price is.

Mariners won't be any better with Jackson.

AL favorite

1. Tigers

2. A's

3. Angels

Only three teams with a shot to make the WS from the AL.

Not impossible for the Angels.  Win the division, have the A's lose the one-game playoff then beat the Tigers in 7 games.  It can be done without going through that gauntlet of back to back 7 game series against the A's and Tigers.

But they need to win the division.

Grew up in Minnesota, live now in the Dirty South (Atlanta).  Loved the Angels as a kid in the early 80s.  Stuck with them.  Been reading the board for a few months, decided to join.  Thanks!
