If we didn't get Upton I would be much more down on this season.  Acquiring him has been such a huge cherry on top for this team and if they get him to stick around (they must) I think the season with all of its challenges has been a resounding success for the teams soft rebuild efforts.  We had a nice draft, got guys like Richards and Skaggs back (finally) dug up Bridwell.  IMO, Cron has demonstrated again that he's our guy at 1b.  Even Heaney should be good to go next year. We can still get a great player at 13 in the draft.  As long as we keep Upton,  with some health the team could be pretty good next year.  Even if we don't go get a pitcher.  Though, hopefully we do.  I'm just gonna enjoy this last week.  If we can somehow stay within 1 or 2 of the Twins through the weekend, we'll have a shot at a fun wild card game.  If not, who gives a shit.  

Once again the Angels are in purgatory. 13th best record. 2.5 GB of a wild card spot. 5 games ahead of a protected draft pick. This is incredibly frustrating. Even if we committed to losing, the best (worst) we could probably finish is 12th in draft position and still not a protected pick. 2015 all over again.

Fuck Mike Trout...
 
 
 
 
 
is a glorious, glorious man.

The amount of dropped passes from the WRs was insane. Poor Sam. I'd want to chop their hands right off Jaime Lannister style.

This is hilariously awful. 
 
Serious question here.
Is there a reason Albert can't spend an offseason with a personal trainer and actually lose some weight? FFS, Sandoval did it twice! There is zero reason a professional athlete should be that out of shape and slow. Grow a sack, Arte/Eppler and demand that he come into camp 30 lbs lighter. Again, there may be a reason for this (injuries) but damn. A little discipline please, Albert. Your talent can't carry you anymore.

Kesler out till at least Christmas now too. Fucking hell. If there were ever a time to pull the fucking trigger and get a top C it's now.

Fletcher laying down the hammer today!

A coworker's son in law and his wife vacationed in Anaheim from Indiana a few weeks back. They decided to catch the Angels game since they're at home. During a Calhoun ab, he ripped a foul ball down the line and it hit the fan next to them. Right into the beer cup and ended up splashing him all over. I guess Victor and Gubi were discussing it during the broadcast because word got to Calhoun on what happened and this was the result..

It's not on the list for good reason but damn.... Waking up that early December morning in 2011 to the news of Pujols signing in Anaheim quickly followed by CJ Wilson. That was absolutely insane. Had MLB Network on tv while getting ready for work. Hauling ass in my car so I can get to work and keep up with the news and what's happening here on the board.

Of course, and its certainly an option, i just think hes opt out desire might have more to do with winning than money.  He told them he wanted no part of a rebuild.  Wishful thinking perhaps, could have just been an excuse, who knows.  I guess well see but for now we are better today than yesterday.  

I see what you did there and it instantly killed any happiness I had about this trade.

I would argue that there's almost no reason for him NOT to opt out after the year he's had this year.

Not fucking funny at all. This isn't a softball beer league where he's the manager and gets to choose where he wants to play and bat in what order. It's time the Angels start putting club first over has been star.

I had to laugh last night when the A's shortstop booted his ground ball...there was absolutely no panic on his part. Oh look, I dropped the ball....let me scratch my balls and pick it up...toss it to first underhanded...and it still beat him by 5 steps.
