Stradling

He's not gloating. He's just sharing his opinion of how he felt the team played last year and that they figured out how to play together. It really was a strong team after April.

If we got Gardner I would trade Bourjos for a starter.

Without a doubt I would give them Jimenez for Gardner.

Why do you doubt him?

How's it going?

Haha. Eric that is just silly.

Great name. I was guessing AO.

Over rated

I've been in three clubhouses not that he asked me.

Ok. Enjoy being miserable. There is no reason for you to respond to xboom except you feel better about yourself doing so, or you want to point out what you see as flawed logic. It's pathetic but then again you know that.

Well I thought it belonged here every bit as much as things like your Strawman posts you make daily. But if you'd like to discuss it further you can send me a PM. However, if you won't adhere to xbooms request I see no reason to follow your request.

I have faith that at least in this case the Angels would have won the appeal and the game would have been replayed from that point in the game.

I could understand that self opinion if maybe one or two people mention it to you. However when you are constantly called out for your approach I would think you'd look in the mirror and ask yourself if you might have some social issues on here.

LT, do you ever and I mean ever, really discuss baseball on here? Or do you only discuss others flawed logic? I ask because while I agree with you quite a bit, I almost never agree with your approach.

That is how I will always look at the signing.

Yes, because he's never had any kind of success at the major league level.

You mean like we did here: http://www.angelswin-forum.com/forums/topic/2808-our-manager-doesnt-know-rules-regarding-mound-visits/?view=getnewpost

Once again AO, how many sub 30 year old stars hit the market? It's not like Arte took a chance on this years version of GMJ, he took a chance at a once in a generation hitter like Albert who has been hurt. He also took a chance on Hamilton who was coming off a 43 home run season where he had a rough second half.

Greg Maddux is another big contract that worked.

Teams just need to front load contracts.

The only difference between Mike's managing tonight and other nights is tonight they won. He still pissed everyone off by leaving Vargas in one too many batters. Oh and he still got down to one position player left on the bench in a 9 inning game which is why he couldn't pinch run for Albert. But Mike did get his cardio in.

To Josh's defense he probably was smarter than Texas fans. Be right back I'm going to head to RangersAlmostWonTwice.com and see how they feel about ex-Angels and claim not to be butthurt.

It would appear from the outside he has but who really knows. What I can tell you is that Dipoto would know and when he has decided that then I am fine with a change. I believe in chemistry and self accountability and to me there doesn't seem to be a lot of that from the players. This could very well be a very poorly constructed team and not as far as talent but as far as intangibles. Saying that Jerry could recognize that and he doesn't feel as though Mike is to blame.
