My inspiration was the jersey thread you had a field day in. 

As an aside, I am a Rams season ticket holder, and belong to a fb rams ticketholder page.  More than once this month, I've seen people trying to unload huge season seat licenses - like $17k - because they are 'moving' or 'lost their job'.  You can 'take over payments'... and the Rams have yet to play a game in front of their fans.

These people starting paying in 2018, have yet to watch a game at Sofi Stadium.  In over their heads.

We have just a nation of complete idiots.

Do they offer financing options?

I was going to go with "how much is the down payment?" but you were here first.

It's gotten to the point that you are forced to watch for individual players progress rather than worry about results as a team. It seems the pitching is so fragile, and injuries so debilitating that they never will go on winning streaks that bring them much higher in the standings. 

Watching Ohtani's historic season, Walsh's maturation, Fletcher pounding out hits are the high points. Observing the younger players and projecting into the future is also important. Especially on the pitching side. 

There will be some new faces also that will or will not be part of the future.

The other thing will be if the lineup is filled with all the injured players back. But by then it may be hopeless to come close to contention. But possibly a sneak preview of what could ideally happen in 2022. 

 

To each his own.  I can't remember anything particular about any of Trout's MVP seasons.  I can remember 1995, 2002, 2004 and 2005 like it was yesterday.  I can remember details of arguing here about Hamilton sitting in the dugout during the last playoff appearance. 

This sucks.

I watch a great cricket match then turn on the game. 

First batter....

Does that frigging cricket ever have an off-season?

He's down to a .428 OPS this season.  

That's a typo, right?

I'm betting the Angels first inning at +115.

Angels are +142 to win at Bovada.  A's are pretty heavy favorites at -164.

You got another athlete to cape for, @cals

I just don’t get it.

The prognosis was 6-8 weeks.

It’s been going on NINE weeks.

What is it with this particular injury that is stretching out the recovery so much?

Remember, he was frigging speeding on the basepaths when the injury occurred.

Wow.

From now on, I'm calling you Veritas, because you are the truth.

I've been handing out these bon mots for well over a decade here AND YOU ARE JUST REALIZING IT??

I'm hurt.

Availability is the best ability.

On the other hand, if he is truly innocent, how can you punish him?

yeah, im going to go old skool, old man but a hook up where a dude beats the shit of stranger, who 'wanted it'?

Legalities aside, that is just a bad look.

Yeah old man, that's what young people do these days.  They hook up and the guy beats the shit out of her.  Get with it, pops.

Assuming that the Cals/Ocho radar has generally been correct.., and she was a gold digger/star f'er/hoor..

What are the odds that Bauer doesn't pitch the rest of the season?

He may not charged with anything (escaping the ass punch w/o consent) but it is still a bad look for a person who represents a billion dollar corporation.

If I am on the same side of an issue as Plaschke, I need to re-think my position.

He has the worst opinions on pro and college sports.  He is frigging great at the human interests stories.  Honestly, this one about the Compton High girls softball team is fantastic.

Otherwise, Plaschke sucks.

I suspect this is a true statement for pretty much all of the Los Angeles county cities.  Law enforcement know that they are out numbered and as long as there isn't a major safety threat they are not going to intervene. 

That is an insane post.  Understanding that I *like* fireworks - But a lot of people don't like fireworks.  They are loud, they produce toxic air, they affect dogs and pets, and a half stick of dynamite in the hands of your drunken neighbor is a safety threat.

You can walk down any street in Long Beach on July 4 night and hand out tickets for hours.  For fuck's sake.  Do your job.

How is that ironic?

Because people of faith have an image of being *good* people.

Folks, we are witnessing Cals' lifetime defining moment, on this thread.  Everything he's worked for, and believed in - for decades - is taking shape. 

He took the side of the shithead baseball player over the shithead, lying groupie chick and it is now starting to pay off in spades for him.

Give the man his due.

Unless these texts screencaps are a lie.

I’m still not worried about Rendon.  I still think he will have multiple top 5ish MVP types seasons for the Angels.

With all due respect, that is insane.

Walsh brought up his phone so Mike Trout could give him words of encouragement in the middle of the contest!

That was super awkward

Looks like Passan took your advice. He wrote a nice piece about Ohtani.

Definitely not the first time Passan has written about Ohtani.
