There is nothing more lame than an Orange County, CA born and raised Yankees fan. Maybe a Red Sox fan.

My girlfriend dumped me the morning I started chemo. She said she didn't want to date cancer. Good times. It's better knowing someone doesn't give a shite rather than living a lie.

When we get Meyer back, it will be like signing an Ace in the offseason!!!!!!!!!!

The Angels won hundreds and hundreds of  1 and 2 run  games with a non potent offense, and good (not great) starting pitching. The relief core did their job, and protected leads. The bullpen has been the main problem of this team for years. I simply can't get over how a relief pitcher is unable to handle getting 3 stinking outs. I thought the advantage has always been to the pitcher? It seems to be the other way around with this organization when it comes to relief pitching. Their un-willingness to convert starters to relievers has also cost many pitchers their careers. Meyer, Shoemaker, JC come to mind. These dudes should have been groomed for/ and or stayed relievers. 
 

Good point. A lot of the mid-late 2000s teams had weaker offenses (compared to the big offenses of those times).
But i also think most good teams today have both. Offense and a pen (whereas back then pens were "closer+other guys" while we had dominant set up guys). 

I am waiting for Eppler to call.

He’s given up 3 home runs in 5 innings pitched as an Angel.   Cam Bedrosian has given up 5 home runs in 36 innings and we think he is dogshit.  

Skaggs has 2 pitches. One that he cannot command, and the other that get's rocked. Other than that, he is a future stud. 
 

Dipoto is Hitler and Reagins is Mussolini. 

He reminded Mike of his replacement (Piazza). So did Napoli. 
 
 

Relief.  Now he can just buy shoes.

Miss Ersty, and hope to have him back as a coach one day. 
 

It is not any worse than the nauseating commentary of Dan Shaughnessy about the Angels over the years. 

Respectfully I do not believe this statement is how the Angels front office viewed it at all. They may not have had the firepower to get it done but I do not believe there was ever a year or moment where they were not trying to win and accept "missing out on the playoffs'. It was a matter of circumstances and actual results not of a direct desire by the front office to boot those seasons and not compete.
