  1. If you predict that Trout and Rendon will be relatively healthy all year, then no, you are not very good at predictions.
  2. The year the Angels won their third consecutive playoff series. I think it was 2002.
  3. That's the only item on my (Angels) list. If they can accomplish that, things will be just fine.
  4. No. I mean, maybe when he's playing the Yankees.
  5. Ask yourself: If the 2009 draft were done over with the benefit of hindsight, where would Trout be drafted? I'm willing to bet it wouldn't be 8th.
  6. If true, this is Arte's masterpiece. But I assume it's all bulls**t these days.
  7. For more than half a decade now, I have vastly preferred Angels Win to the actual Angels organization.
  8. This is certainly true, but whose fault is it? The Angels acted like a beta male, bending over backwards because he is so terrified of losing the hot girl, even when she gives no indication she is committed. And now she is with the more successful and popular guy. That's how it always ends. They can blame Ohtani or they can blame themselves.
  9. Remember when one of the greatest players of all time reached free agency and left his team to sign the biggest contract in baseball history? I'm talking about ARod in December 2000. The Mariners won 116 games the next season. Do I think the Angels are going to win 116 next season? Yes, obviously. Just kidding. But my point is: None of us know what is going to happen. I remember when the Angels finished the 2001 season losing 18 of their final 20 and I thought This team will never win a championship. And I remember 12 years and one day ago when the Angels signed Pujols and CJ Wilson on the same day and I thought This guarantees at least one World Series appearance in the next three years. None of us know what is going to happen. Except maybe Lou. I miss that guy on days like today.
  10. This is how 13-year-olds follow sports.
  11. In my recliner, refreshing ESPN.com for literally the 200th time in the previous 30 hours.
  12. Giving a massive contract to a player for his decline years is something the Angels have done many, many times. I'm not upset that they did not give one to Shohei. Will I miss watching him play for the Angels? Of course. But the Angels couldn't win when they were paying him well below his market value. They weren't going to win paying him 50, 60, or 70 million per year. I am ready for the next chapter.
  13. We have known this day was coming for at least two years. It will suck not having him on our team anymore, but we can all say that we got to see something truly special. I wish him nothing but the best. So long, Fletcher.
  14. The Angels got Ohtani cheaply in his 20s. Someone is going to get him (extremely) expensively in his 30s. If it's not the Angels, I will be just fine.
  15. If you're old enough to remember when getting the newest issue of Sports Illustrated was a thrill, you might share my wistfulness at what it has become.
  16. "Starting" My friends who are Dodgers fans have been assuring me since Spring 2021 that Ohtani will be a Dodger this offseason.
  17. For the second year in a row they are going to be eliminated by a team that finished double-digits behind the Dodgers in their own division. Last year the Padres were 22 back; this year the Diamondbacks were 16 back. I enjoy watching the Dodgers lose in October, but I truly hate the MLB postseason format.
  18. Too long; didn't read? Let me paste the most important 8 words: "Player development is the lifeblood of any franchise"
