    I miss the Hat a hell of a lot more than In-N-Out. I can make a great burger easily but can't come close to a Hat pastrami sandwich or even the pastrami topped chilli cheese fries.

    Useful  player who is winding down. 8 out of 11 years in the playoffs is impressive if they continue to win. Not a bad career for a 17th round draft pick.
     
    Howie was a 10th rounder. Trumbo an 18th rounder. Remember when this team could draft?

    Cron drives in Calhoun. Some good swings so far.

    The "second pilot" was in a different plane. see at :22
    Pretty crazy. For my scuba advanced cert we had to do a 100+ ft dive and were asked to do some math on a slate to demonstrate the effect of mild nitrogen narcosis. I was fine but definitely felt some impairment.
     
    This situation reminds me of the plane that decompressed killing the golfer payne stewart and crew. They were unconscious. It just kept flying for hours until running out of fuel. Some business jets now have a safety feature that senses a rapid decompression and puts the plane in a dive down to 15000 feet in a few minutes (not to exceed Vmo).

    I think the reason some fans dislike Pujols is perception.   They perceive that he gets special treatment from MS because of his name and salary.  There is the perception that Albert himself seems entitled because of what he's done in the past.  I think there is a bit of each of those going on, but what effect is it really having?   
    So MS bats him behind Trout.  Other potential candidates to do so are either already in other spots at the top of the lineup (Escobar and Calhoun) or actually aren't as good as the current version of Albert (Cron).  
    Scioscia's job is to put his team in the best position possible to win games.  Would slotting Calhoun in between Trout and Pujols really make that big of a difference?  Would some sort of acknowledgement from MS and Albert that he's not the player he once used to be make everyone feel better?  
    To me, Albert is frustrating to watch because I still see ability there and stubbornness is hampering that to some degree.   He has changed his approach and swing mechanics in order to sacrifice pitch recognition for power.    He is off balance on a lot of balls because his new approach doesn't give him as much time to recognize pitches and because he's actually very good at making contact, the result is just a ton of weak contact.  
    I have contended that instead of the .240 guy who hits 40hrs, 20 double and has 50 walks, there is a guy who could hit .270 with 50 doubles, 20 hrs, and 80 walks.  
    He's actually shown a little more of the latter at times this year than in any of his other seasons as a halo, but there is plenty of times where he's pulling weak grounders to third on balls out of the zone that he used to not swing at or hitting weak popups to the right side on an outside pitch in the zone that he used to hit to the right CF gap for a double.  
    His first year with the halos, he was the closest to the latter that we have seen him.  He had 10 of his 50 doubles to the RCF gap.  Do you know how many doubles he's hit to RCF in the 3 1/3 years since then?  Eight.  Do you know how many he's hit since the beginning of the 2015 season?  One.  
    All players decline and I accept that.  But to watch him fight tooth and nail against taking what the game is giving him is not just frustrating, but actually sad.  Sad as a baseball fan as much as it is sad as an Angel fan.
