    Been looking for a fun, cheap project car

    I was a mechanic for 45 years and I don't think you know how lucky you are, when a wheel comes off like that it usually damages the fender. I have seen it cause thousands of dollars in damage, so it could have been worse.The thing with the rear brake shoes is they should have been arced to fit the drums,that way you have most of the shoes making contact with the drum.If they don't fit properly your stopping power will be reduced, and possibly a low pedal.I don't have a lot of experience with British cars except it takes a special breed to work on them.There are still some machine shops around that will arc your shoes if you still are having problems.Good luck.

    Two internal moves that need to be made STAT

    1. DFA Chris Young. He's complete garbage at both the plate and in the field. Promote Jabari Blash. Seriously, WTF. Dude has a minor league leading 18 HR and destroys southpaws. Hermosillo becomes our backup 4th OF and CF, sees some starts here and there. 

    2. DFA or trade (for little or nothing) Luis Valbuena, promote either Matt Thaiss or Taylor Ward. Both get on base, both are showing good power. 

    Lineup:

    2B Kinsler

    CF Trout

    LF Upton

    DH Pujols

    1B  JMF or Matt Thaiss (if promoted JMF plays 3B)

    SS Cozart

    3B JMF or Taylor Ward (if promoted JMF plays 1B)

    RF Blash

    C Maldonado

    Valbuena and C. Young are not providing anything to the club and both were awful last season. What gives? Time for an internal change here. Time for an injection of youth and not just youth, those who are performing at a very high level in AA/AAA.

    Chuck,use some of those connections you have and get this done! You have my support.

    All people have against this idea is ad hominem attacks.

    Here's the truth: Ohtani CAN run out to the bullpen in between innings to warm up. He CAN run out to the dugout after he warms up, to hit. He can do that process for two straight innings if it is necessary.

    But no, now we have NOhtani. Closers usually throw 80 innings a year, wheras starters throw much more than that.  I knew his splitter was going to cause problems.

    That fact that you can do something does not mean you should. Didn't you ever see Jurassic Park? How did that work out?

    Well, you're like the one person who has been giving me all the thumbs down on my posts and it doesn't bug me even once. But when someone else does it to you, you have a problem. Hypocrite, dude!

    I gave you those thumbs down votes as they happened,not a couple of days later and within 2 minutes.

    We'll see where we are at the All Star Break. I predicted the Angels will be more than 5 games back of Houston weeks ago with 20 blown saves. We were tied with  Houston at that point. More than 5 games back will absolutely happen and 20 blown saves is not out of reach.

    I was right about Cozart, Upton, and Valbuena playing well today.

    You don't make predictions so you're never wrong. 

    No hard feelings Roy

    No hard feelings I have a nephew who rides the short yellow bus too. So I get you
