Ain't it the truth...
Jerry Seinfeld says the ‘extreme left’ has ruined sitcoms with ‘PC crap’
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jerry-seinfeld-says-extreme-left-090739875.html
“It used to be, you would go home at the end of the day, most people would go, “Oh, ‘Cheers’ is on. Oh, ‘M*A*S*H’ is on. Oh, ‘Mary Tyler Moore’ is on. ‘All in the Family’ is on.” You just expected, there’ll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight,” he told the outlet. “Well, guess what — where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people.”

With that attitude you must be happy all of the time. 

Huge break for Jimmy.

The Angels are an easy target to dump on. It's built up the entire length of Trout's career. Especially for east coast media. Do you think he would have such  contempt for the Red Sox or Yankees in a similar scenario? No doubt there would be criticism but I doubt it would be so dismissive and polarizing. After all he has to physically hang around those environments more frequently than venturing into Anaheim other than on rare occasions. If he personally was around Trout regularly be might have a more nuanced perspective. 
Good player on a weak team most of his career? Happens all the time everywhere. Less so now than in the past but every sport still has multiple examples. And it's not like Trout didn't have a choice. He has his priorities and expectations for the future and locked himself in with full understanding of the risks. And there are many examples of players finding redemption very late in their careers.
It might even make a better story if the Angels become elite at the very end of Trout's contract/career. Making his loyalty and perseverance more newsworthy.
 

It's not as if Trout is killing it in Anaheim but the team around him sucks. He hasn't been good and now he's hurt. Again.
Trout has had a great career. He got the big contract and was the poster boy of MLB for several years. Now he's in the twilight of his career.
If he wanted to win championships he should never have signed the extension with the Angels. Some of us said that at the time.
If Trout wants out of Anaheim I'm sure we would have heard about it by now.

Keep politics out of this!

I wonder if they can just go ahead and do the 2025 surgery at the same time.

I still need to watch the whole video but the opening number Jessica was so great. Allman Bros. defined the genre.

I was just watching this earlier in the week.
 

He was hilarious. Some great characters on SCTV and as a Russian Boarder Guard in “Stripes”.

Flaherty was married to Judith Dagley for 22 years until the two divorced in 1996. The couple had two children, Gudrun and Gabriel Flaherty.
RIP Joe.

Huge break for Jimmy.

Angels were oblivious and the Dodgers came to the rescue.

Huge break for Jimmy.

Congrats to Jimmy

It's good, we know exactly what we are getting.

My Manager!

Feel better now that you got that off your chest? 

Little things going right though...
Schanuel hitting .302/.327/.377 in his last 15 G/53 AB
Rengifo on the year is now hitting a very solid .326/.376/.465/.841 and has already set a career high in SB (9 for 9, his previous high was 6)
Neto is hitting .302/.327/.509 in his last 15 G/53 AB
To me, this is more important than winning a game where we're running out guys like Adrianza and Pillar already. 

Lol.
 

Unfortunately, now you have to subscribe to AMC+ in order to binge it. But it might be worth a couple month's subscription fee. Great show.

I'd say there's a reasonably good chance he'll get pissed today.
