I’m shocked I say!

Oh man, that is truly saddening to hear. IEBruin has been a staple on here for the 15-20 years or so I've been a member, dating back to the old forums. From his "I agree"'s to the one word "Bruin" comments, he has made me laugh many a time and has always been a much appreciated poster.
As someone who has lost multiple family members to cancer, it is truly a bitch but I can imagine his sense of humor never wavered. Wish him and his family all the best, peace, and love. 

Grace and peace bruin. We all step into eternity one by one

This sucks. Cancer fucking sucks.
Lou is a truly great guy. I've had many conversations over pm's with him over the years. I hope the best for him and his family. 

You guys didn't really expect Albert to leave $10 million on the table did you?

Albert's Purolls

Shohei @ karaoke...
 

I am not going to go back through 10 years of stories but off the top of my head I’ve had conversations with Trout, Rengifo, Suarez, Walsh and Scioscia, Ausmus, Maddon, Reed about Pujols having a positive influence. 
 
And the only reason I brought up the money is to illustrate that there’s almost no cost to having him do it if he and the team want him to. I don’t see any downside to having him around. 

Phillies should walk Albert just about every time he comes up. He's in some kind of time warp right now.

Most managers are just figure heads at this point, they're the fall guys the FO wants to redirect fan's anger to when things aren't going well. The roster construction might have manager input but they are now being hired more as middle men to link the FO and players. The skillsets they are looking for now are things like good communicators, leaders, etc not decision makers, innovators. It's resembling more like a manager job at a corporation where soft skills are important, the actual baseball decisions are being made by computers.

The New York media is going to roast the Yankees for dropping the series in Anaheim. 

HERGOAT is the Yankees father

Four in a row! Efficient game with some timely power and solid pitching. Ford at least looks like he knows what he's doing at the plate. Nice to homer against one of his many old teams.
Ohtani actually showed more skill and matched Judge for power, but good luck fighting the New York narrative. Unless the Yankees have a monumental last month collapse. I still would like Maris to keep the Yankee record, but that's what his contemporaries felt about Ruth. The difference is that Maris was an anti-hero to the mainstream baseball establishment and media. Judge is beloved and a super hero.

I've never heard it called that.

How about earlier realization that it may have been a great platoon.  Albert looking good since leaving the angels because he hits almost all lefty pitching.  The dodgers unlocked that simple puzzle. 

Feeling better all the time about next year's rotation.
