They had a great poker face ... I'll give them that!
 
 
 

Making rookies dress like girls is almost as funny as not immediately congratulating a teammate after he hits his first home run in a month. 

Would much rather pay Machado an insane contract than Harper...

That would totally blow if Calhoun is shipped off. He'd probably be the 2nd coming of Edmonds for the Cards with our luck...

At least there is somewhat of a competition for the role instead of just blindly handing the ball back to Street...Hopefully he bounces back...

Season Over

Yeah, Scioscia is not going anywhere. 
 
Remember back in '02 everyone wanted him fired after that 6-14 start. 
 
Did Scioscia do anything different? Nope. Did the players start playing better, absolutely. He kept telling them even in the midst of that awful opening to the season that they're  a championship caliber team. 

This hip hop artist all the way in Dublin, Ireland who has no idea of who Mike Trout had this to say in a review article about the song.

Fresh from US rapper Tim Stiles comes A Fish Like This. One half of party-rap duo Passion Party, Stiles teamed up with 13 year old Trinity Richter for this tribute track to baseball player Mike Trout.
 
Do I know who Mike Trout is? Absolutely not. I doubt any Irish person will, but I do know that this is a nice, lively track from the California based rapper.
Clean and constant, Stiles’ vocals dance on the bass-heavy beat, produced by J. Lee Mezus. However, the whole show is stolen by the 13 year old feature.
 
Trinity Richter shines on the beat, hitting her notes flawlessly and coming with more power than any 13 year old I know.
 
Again, I have no idea who Mike Trout is, but this is a good track.
 
Check it out if you like good, solid rap, baseball or Mike Trout.

So you're not a fan of females in general then?

So yesterday there were three regular season games and one spring training game. Today is "opening day" and it's on a Monday, the worst day of the week. Four of the teams that played regular games yesterday don't play today.
****ing stupid.
Make it opening weekend instead of opening day. Highlight regional rivalries and/or have a two-day World Series rematch. It's not rocket science.

Interesting. That's one expensive back-up 3B. I always appreciate when decisions like this are made off of on-field play and not ridiculous contracts that should have never been given.
 
Edit: Sorry, just saw this in the Hot Stove Thread. Mods please delete or merge if needed.

Rotation depth, duh

and the rich get richer! 

He did actually pitch in one game last year.  Hmmmmmm...

Rotation depth, duh

It's refreshing to see a team not care about the money and simply put the best product out there.  If the Angels did this, Weaver or Wilson wouldn't even be talked about as rotation candidates and Albert Pujols would likely carry the same value as an everyday player that Mark Trumbo did. 

weird seeing a small market team being on the hook for such a large contract...dont see that often...

Well, to be fair...they are both having bad springs. Might as well go with our current outfield options and grab Loney. I guess it's more like which pile of sh!t stinks less...lol

Agreed...you see how a guy like Joe Maddon handles young players and you watch them thrive. I like Sosh as well but handling young players isn't really something he does well..

If I were the FBI I would tell Apple to **** off.

I wouldn't call Nate Smith and Chris Jones mediocre either. They both have a good minor league track record. 

nice interview man....although i must admit i shuddered when i read the name tony reagins in the first line...lol

He obviously has not been as sharp in recent years but still best ever. Always love hearing him call a game...
