Well since you are the only one engaging thus far, besides his business still becoming more valuable over those years but less respectful.

Why do you speculate that he is not happy personally? Any particular reason?

Speculate! 

Serious inquiries only please!

Alright F it..let it fly!

The shittiest part about this one way or another is that we all want this to be the type of franchise where keeping him would have made sense.  So it's just a double kick in the nuts that it really was the right choice considering where this org currently stands.  

And really it doesn't matter whether Arte said no or Shohei said no.  I wouldn't/don't blame either of them for that decision.  And it's just a bummer that it actually makes sense.  

I just made a similar post in another thread. The gist is that it just doesn't make sense for the Halos to sign him at that price, but it does for an organization like the Dodgers to some degree.

I think there is a big difference between the Angels offering 700m and the Dodgers..it works for the Dodgers and it doesn't work for the Halos.

Two completely different organizations at opposite spectrum's of their franchises.

One is floundering, while the other is flourishing.

That's right!

Who Y'all kidding. Most of you would line up for a free dog and a beer if offered.

If SO buys a chopper to take him to home games, I would not hire a pilot of Japanese descent to pilot it..just sayin!!

Is he smelling his own farts in this pic? 

Did he also decline to address his or his owners ineptitude?

If so, where did he lay the blame?

So what's the gist here? Ohtani had Kobe beef and caviar in the the clubhouse and the rest of the scrubs had Del Taco and fish sticks?

Ohtani does not speak English, of course there would be a kind of distance or barrier.

I guess Ippei should of been giving the pregame. rally speeches...like it would of made a fuck

I took a train across country to Tempe for Spring training when they signed Pujols...so Pujols!

Edit: I actually took the train to Reno to visit moms and then drove to Tempe.

Great trip!

I'm happy the Angels are not saddled with a bloated contract like the one Ohtani got from the dummy Dodgers. I think it's a slap in the face to all Angels enjoyers that he would choose to play for the Dodgers being so close in proximity/cross town rival (even though r'tard Dodgers ball washers say it's not a rivalry). I can't help but dislike Ohtani now even though he was a fun player to watch for the last few years.

As great as Ohtani was, in some way I think his superstardom may have had a negative affect on the team. It definitely did on Trout. It was basically like a Buzz Lightyear (Ohtani) and Woody (Trout) type of dynamic. Angels fanboys had found a new toy and Trout as much as he respects Ohtani's game, I'm sure he was pissed a bit that he was no longer the team's top dog. I think during his tenure the team never really gelled together because so much emphasis was placed on what Ohtani "the unicorn" (as some call him, not me) was doing, not that he wasn't deserving of it but it became a media circus and I don't think the rest of the players responded to well even though I haven't heard of any rumblings to that effect. Just my opinion.

One poster on these forums keeps calling Ohtani the new "Kobe" which is so ridiculous I can't believe the post has likes on it (should be thumbed down). Kobe won three championships as a youngster and then two more as a veteran all with the Lakers, never changed teams. He is probably the most beloved LA sports figure of all time. Also, he spoke, y'know, ENGLISH and was a native born American! Ohtani is a foreigner and he could never be compared to a superstar like Kobe (or Jordan/Gretzky for that matter) in the sense of being a LA icon no matter how much you think they are alike, you are just flat out insane for even trying to say that. LMAO. I'm not a Kobe worshipper by no means at all and thought he was a bit full of himself but I'm not that big of an idiot to try and say Ohtani the Japanese foreigner who doesn't speak a lick of English could fill those shoes or ever would fill them. And the same poster said New Balance should start a line that is like Jordan shoes? ROFL. Dude, you are comparing Michael Jordan to Ohtani now too? Just an insane level of mental problems you have to even go there. What person in their right mind would ever by a shoe because Ohtani wore it? You do realize that MJ shoes and basketball shoes are considered fashionable and are worn by the general public. Nobody wears any shoe a baseball player endoreses. Griffery JR/Trout sneakers don't sell, neither would Ohtani's shoe if he had one or gets one. LMFAO. Too funny. Plus, New Balance tried a Kawhi Leonard shoe and nobody bought it. They are known for selling MADE in US/UK sports shoes and even still it is a stupid brand like the rest of the big market sports companies who shill for Chinese yen.

 

Ouch...incoming migraine.

Thanks!

It's hard to get tickets, and tickets are expensive. I considered going to the Minnesota game last Sunday, but passed because the cheapest ticket was about $180.

I see a lot of people around town wearing Raiders gear, and the Raiders license plates seem to be reasonably popular.

Good decision...considering!

They really need to bleed out the best performances from their current players to be competitive next year.

Should they look to Rendon's leg for this?

Just waiting for the Tropicana to be demolished so that we can start building the stadium.

I know it has been a couple years now, but how do the locals feel about the Raiders....and No I'm not talking shit about the Raiders.

Just curious how they are working out thus far?

Hancock. Some of the earlier drafts of the script were really crazy. Would have loved to have seen a different version of the movie. 

Good job my man!

Did u like the movie for what it was?

I've been drinking bitch!

Who can guess the movie?

There is a hint in my avatar!

If true I'm just picturing Arte with his thumb up his ass and wondering why he just lost the biggest business asset he ever had to his rival.

I'm curious - but what happens with the giant poster of Ohtani they took down outside the stadium

Donated to the local homeless population to burn in their 55 gallon drums!

Arte needs to do his splaining on the field with wins.
