Ace-Of-Diamonds

I really don't get what some of you see in this Ohtani guy

Seems like the best possible lineup we could throw out there at the moment.

TB has owned Skaggs even when they couldn't hit -- so, this may get ugly.

A few years after the name change, the Angels signed a 20-year, $3-billion television deal with Fox Sports and beefed up their advertising in Los Angeles. Billboards of the team are still prominent at L.A. Live.
None of that changes the fact that the team is still in Anaheim. They are in Orange County, not Los Angeles County. That’s why this week’s games between the Dodgers and Angels is not referred to as a crosstown rivalry or an intercity rivalry. It’s simply called the Freeway Series.
It’s an appropriate name considering anyone who lives in Los Angeles spent nearly two hours on the freeway to go to the games in Anaheim on Monday or Tuesday.
The worst part about the team’s name — outside of its complete disregard for geographic accuracy — is that it remains the most disingenuous name in sports. The Angels want nothing to do with Los Angeles outside of enjoying the economic benefits of being associated with the city. Walk around Angel Stadium and peruse the team store and you’ll be hard-pressed to find “L.A.” or “Los Angeles” anywhere. Not on a sign, poster, hat, shirt, jersey. Nothing.
The truth is, the Angels are a team without a city. They spurned Anaheim by dropping the city’s name and claimed Los Angeles in name only. No team in sports history has claimed a city and done less to connect with that city...

Only 2 1/2 years left of Pujols.

Damn that's rough. He does seem like a good dude though, hopefully he is fine and doesn't suffer long term.

Lopez, a veteran reporter, said the operation lasted six hours and was performed by three doctors, led by Dr. Abel Gonzalez. The team had to remove part of Ortiz's intestines and colon, as well as his gallbladder. Ortiz suffered liver damage.

Sweet diving stop and throw by Tovar.

Can I hopefully assume that it’s just some soreness in Fletch’s shoulder, and not a worse underlying issue????????????
Can’t blame me for being pessimistic, after all of the crappy team health for five freaking years now!!!!!!

I’d rather try to make him happen than try and make Cahill or Harvey happen....
