I wonder if he can pronounce Gubicza correctly. 

I like that we swept the Brewers and now they’re taking it out on the dogs. 

Very relaxed.

Nice but to be fair Garrett Anderson or Vernon Wells get nowhere near that ball.

Nice win. We needed that. Zack needed that. Get’m tomorrow.

He lost 16 lbs in just this play alone.

Does Stratton have it in him to throw a shutout?

Yes but I hate extra inning games.

Davis now 0-54 

Pretty sure I would do worse but geez, he can’t even get an accidental seeing eye dog hit.

you should go to every game you can while you're there. make sure to go a few hours early to enjoy the surrounding area. (and stay after the game for the same)

then hit Division later at night. 

The Angels are 0-2 this season with Stradling in attendance.

Taylor Ward could hit .350 he’d still be a lousy option for third base.  

This is going to be a problem. He was pushed out as a catcher already. We certainly don’t have another DH spot available.

I get sucked into this subject every time.  It is very hard for me to read through conversations about stuff like this and not get involved.

I suppose it would be like a conversation about concessions at the ballpark buying beef for hamburgers, storing and cooking it, pricing it, selling it, managing labor and so on. . .and have Stradling not get himself sucked into what might seem obvious to him to interject as relevant.

Sorry.  I work in finance, do financial analysis, and value businesses and their ability to take on and service debt.

I think my feedback has value but it always get met with resistance or friction.

Whatever. It's all good.

 

For the record, Stradling never uses frozen meat or fries. 

You’re welcome.

@Dtwncbad I have one point and that’s all I’ve ever had and then I’m not going to engage on this with you any more...

Every owner of any business has a right to spend what he wants to spend in order to make what he or she considers a fair profit. The only way to judge what’s “fair” or “not fair” is really to compare businesses in the same industry. 

Based on the information I have, it seems like the Angels expenses are in line with other baseball teams with similar revenues, market sizes, values, etc.

If you disagree, that’s ok.

These are not net numbers.  They represent an estimated price the team would sell for!  It doesn't take into account real debt they have on the teams not related to salaries.

They don't represent the financial health of the team or its ability to take on more expenses (like additional salary).

Suggesting it is about right that the guy with the 8th most valuable house has the 8th highest car payment is potentially 100% wrong if the top seven have massive mortgages and the 8th has no mortgage.

We're Contenders! 

The last time we were 7-6 was in 2008 when we won 100 games.

I find it funny that people will search high and low for cheap affordable tickets and still end up buying six of those large $13.50 beers without hesitation.

if an umpire misses 3 calls they should kill him. 

Pretty sure those rules are enforced in some countries.

Serious question. 

Would the Los Angeles Angels of Long Beach with a new stadium be worth more or less as a franchise.
