Wouldn't this be a better comparison? The Angels starting team last year, with the Giants. Just on oWAR, (yeah too lazy to look it up other than on espn) Angels 31.4/Giants with no DH 25.3. Morales was a 2.1. Giants starting pitching 5 WAR 5.0/Angels 2.8 (Angels combined Greinke with Williams) Giants 94 wins and a minor trophy. Angels 89 Wins.

Considering his steady decline in OPS over the years, if it continues, he will be around a .780 ops player this year. Not sure how much the Yankees will miss him.

How did he look at 3B?

Small sample size.

To add to those already mentioned Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of our Fathers Bridge on the River Kwai Lawrence of Arabia And while he is crazy. Mel Gibson has done a lot of good war movies. Patriot We Were Soldiers Braveheart

VIDEO: RUSSELL CROWE CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN A UFO, HERE'S HIS EVIDENCE This is just awesome. Egg Beater needs to be used more often.

But I really did want that Fox Run Bannana slicer that Amazon kept advertising to me!

So if we had Harrison instead of Weaver, we would have been + 2.5 games. Rangers would be -2.5 games. Angels would have tied for the AL West title.

Kind of like a Nomo meets Weaver meets a sidewinder missle.

Soda for Babies? 'Healthy' Cigarettes? We Can't Believe What These Old Ads Were Selling!

Imagine where the Angels would have been if we had Darvish instead of Weaver last year.

Happy Birthday TDawg.

Was there a golf tournament on the links today?

WAR has it's uses. But most people overuse it. Especially those that only use WAR as their main and only point.

My interpretation is getting rid of zombies. His life now is about clearing.

That's my biggest fear is losing sight. I can't understand why any hockey player wouldn't have a visor.

Power Rankings. One of these will probably be more accurate.

Just curious. But who is the Ducks 3rd goalie? Looking at this site, http://capgeek.com/ducks, looks like the Ducks have $15 million in cap space this season. Maybe the Ducks will be buyers for the final push? Another possiblity is what if the Ducks trade Hiller? That would give the Ducks $32 million in cap space next season. Just talking out loud. Much of this is probably not possible.

Can you get a big haul for him though. Not as familiar with NHL moves as MLB moves. But since he is a FA next season, I would think you would need a team in which A) Perry will sign a long term deal with and wants to go to, and a team that has room under the cap to sign such a player. Again, I'm not familiar with how the NHL works. So don't know if it's like the NBA where the Ducks can sign him for a much more than he can get in FA'cy. Or if there is compensation. Or what. I don't even know how close the Ducks are to the cap, since that would probably play into the negotiations. Hope they can keep both, since something special is brewing. But I would think the trade partners for Perry are limited, and that because of that the haul won't be much.

Anyone else watch this? I saw the premiere and while it's raw and needs some work in the presentation side. Chris Jerico as a host is ok at times, and at times is lost. It's kind of interesting. Pretty much it's Rockem Sockem with 2 ton Robots. I kind of wish they went more into how they control the Robots a bit more. And during the fight, the sparks kind of detract from it. But for a first fight, it was at least interesting. And the teams should be able to customize their bots more.

It would solve a lot of headaches if they did do that. But also create some more. It's no secret that the area surrounding Doggie stadium hates them with a passion. So instead of 81 days of traffic headaches, it would result in having 8 days, that makes sense. What has to be resolved would be no tailgating at the stadium. Because part of football is tailgating. The other obstacle that has to be overcome is McCourt. He still does own the parking lots. A move downtown for the Doggies also makes sense. If they want to build up that area, having 81 days of action is a lot better than 8 days. Now the downside is, I don't know if that area can handle 81 days of traffic. + is, the blue line has a station right at where the stadium will be. So if people use that, it won't be as bad. When there is no game at Staples center, that whole area is a ghosttown. Especially on the weekdays. So this would be a big boost to the area in the summer. Of course the negative is, if you get out of the green zone, you are in trouble. The areas surrounding Staples is getting better, but still not that great.

I used to watch them. But as the OP has said, they have become pretty bad. You can have a topic, and it could be something important in sports, and they will barely cover it since they have already worked on some story back east. they will have a short 30 second segment on who won last weekends golf tournament. Then go off for 5 minutes on what Tigger did, and how they think he will do next week or for the next major. They just don't bring much to the table for myself anymore. If my provider ever went A La Carte, I don't think I would get ESPN.

Pujols legs still not under him.
