  1. It's True!
    Dtwncbad got a reaction from ScruffytheJanitor in Angels unveil City Connect jersey, will debut June 11th   
    It was open for 12 years.  Just like Michael always said, some things are just less appealing after 12 years.

    I am very happy to appear to be 100% wrong about Ward.

    Dtwncbad got a reaction from stormngt in Irony: Dipoto was right about Taylor Ward   
    Glad Ward rescued his career and looks like he has carved out a job.
    But I think saying Dipoto was right about him is a stretch.
    It is going to be quite a long shot for Ward to ever deliver the amount of major league value that they expected when they drafted him.

    I suspect the kind of player that you would classify as a plan is now not going to be available until the trading deadline. 
     
    Also, I would say their “plan” was to have enough options that they didn’t need to place too much “hope” in any one of them.

    I wish it was more openly acknowledged that just because a guy gets an 8 year or 10 year deal doesn’t mean the team literally believes the player will be performing at a great level for the duration of the contract.

    This is a fair point. 
     
    I don’t think the Angels expect Mike Trout to be worth $36M a year when he’s 38. Essentially it’s like a 7-year contract deferred over 10, or something like that.

    If you don’t know her, just understand that she’ll always love you for the rest of her days.  Just don’t rush her, she’s made that mistake before.

    Agreed.  It is super gross when libs want my money for their insolvent fantasies.  Oh it’s also gross when they try to touch my junk.
  13. WTF

    Nice.  At least you are funny sometimes. Glad you are interested in humor.  Usually dudes named Taylor are only interested in getting their hands into my pocket.  Sometimes for my money.

    Dtwncbad got a reaction from Angel Oracle in Gameday Thread: Angels @ Astros (4/20/22) - Ohtani on the bump, still no Trout   
    Trout’s hand is fine for baseball but it isn’t fine to get himself properly cleaned up enough from his stomach bug.
    He could probably play but they think he would be pretty streaky.

    Most everyone else has gone the way of either using Twitter/Facebook to interact with fans about Angels baseball or they have a podcast and they use Twitter/Facebook and other social media platforms to evangelize their podcasts and content.
    There's something to be said about being independent. I'm so glad I didn't sell my soul to the devil back in the day when Fox Sports, Scout, ESPN, Fansided and others asked us to move all of our members and content over to their platforms and write for them.

    Yes Nike made the uniforms so they have a much more “legitimate” to mark their own actual product.
    But unfortunately Nike has intentionally become very political to the point where their logo carries all kinds of messages that have nothing to do with simply marking their own product.
    I hate Nike.

    I don’t hate the Astros nearly as much as I hate the lack of winning by the Angels.
    I can’t really bother wasting time hating the Astros when the Angels haven’t really even been close.
