I haven’t been on here a long time and I am sorry to see this news. Before I made my account, I read around and decided to make an account because I found the content amusing, particularly @Lou RIP Lou. I never met you but thanks for the laughs. I wish everyone here well.

It would also be nice if players and coaches put their pronouns on their jerseys and within the graphics on telecasts

Player identifies as “who”. Who’s on first? Yes. What? What’s on second. I don’t know, you tell me! He’s on third. Who? Who’s on first.

Pujols got Hjerpes as a retirement gift

The most impactful change would be Arte selling the team, but that isn't happening anytime soon.

I love how the OP has disappeared.

I was in Guatemala, the internet was bad. Just kidding. Been busy lately.

You guys are zero help.

If you like the outdoors fly into Missoula, Montana. It's a college town so there is plenty of restaurants and breweries in Old Town. Depending on the time of year the rodeo may be in town. 

There are hundreds of trails and world class fishing on the Bitterroot, Missouri and Rock Creek. You can charter tours or just drop a line about anywhere. 

Take a couple hour trip up north to Kalispell and the Flathead Lake for boating and fishing. Then it's a quick hop over to Glaier National Park that has the most breathtaking views but is a really long drive so bring lunch. 

They call it Big Sky country for a reason. It will make sense when you get there. 

 

 

Thanks for the tips. I was thinking a vacation down the Mississippi River would be nice. 

Where have you vacationed? Recommendations, budget and thoughts? Came to Georgia and Florida for the first time.

I was reading a different thread and someone, I think it was @Tank who said “Percy would be proud”. So I searched for Percy and this must be him. I read this whole thread and I am sorry for your loss. RIP.  Cancer sucks. My mother passed from breast cancer shortly after Percy. He seemed like a good dude. I wish I could have met him. I joined Angelswin well after his passing. 

When the team pulls off a great comeback. As they inch closer and closer, you can sense the anguish from the opposing dugout. You just have this feeling you know it's going to happen and when it does pure pandemonium

Hopefully this thing is like the flu and will disappear by May so we don’t have to hear about this damn thing and deal with all the fear mongering until November. I need a break from all the hysteria and panic. How is having 5 cases of Costco toilet paper going to help anybody? This is insane

Baby Shark for Bryce

Regardless of why Skaggs took the drugs, I pray that his family, his friends, his teammates and the fans can find peace in this tough situation. Not every question we have will be answered. Just one more month of this nightmare of a season, and the players need a nice mental break in the offseason to regroup for hopefully a productive and successful 2020. 

With Ohtani back in 2020, does the team experiment with the six man rotation again? With rosters expanding to 26 it wouldn’t cut into the depth of another part of the team like it did in 2018. Since Ohtani is coming off that TJS, I think it’s worth a look

Thank you Chuck for sharing this moment with us. I’m not a parent, I couldn’t imagine going through something like that. Glad to hear that your grandson is doing well. That’s one tough kid. Wishing your family the best and God Bless  

I’d be the first to admit that I bash the Angels because I get too worked up sometimes. It’s because I grew to care about the team and sucks to see them perform so poorly when we know they had so much more potential. The loss of Skaggs was a terrible guy punch. It felt like I knew him, even though I never met him. I knew what loss felt like.

I lost my mother to cancer a while ago and was searching for a new hobby when I stumbled upon baseball and this forum. I used this place to forget about the real world. The Skaggs death wasn’t supposed to happen not such at such a young age. But the combined no hitter on the night we honored his legacy was the most beautiful sports moment I ever saw. It was something we just couldn’t explain. So if you look hard enough, and keep the faith you can make it through.

F*ck the payroll we goin apeshit

If they actually did that how big would the payroll be in 2021, like around 240 mil? The Trout extension kicks in that year and the overall payroll would be even higher if Simmons is extended. But by 2023 58 million comes off with Pujols and Upton deals expired

Hey Chuck happy birthday man. Hope you had a good one.
