Putting together a solid bullpen may be one of the hardest jobs in baseball. Colorado spent huge money on their pen in the offseason and it has been mediocre at best. The Cubs and Indians have had awful bullpens this season. The other issue is that very few relievers are reliable from year to yesr. The Angels need to commit to developing late inning guys in the lower minors. Hopefully, next season will bring better results. 
I, for one, don’t want Eppler to trade any top 20 prospects for pen arms unless they are young and controllable.

We talk about extending Trout but he’s well aware of what they’re surrounding him with.

Thanks Blue Jays.

The GM job is easy. Trade your prospects.....no don’t trade your prospects. Sign this guy for $150M......no don’t sign that guy for $150M. Try trading your declining crap for their best star players.....no those teams won’t make those deals so our GM sucks. 
Attrition people. It takes time but that’s how you clear the deck.  

"Mr. Haney, are you telling me this rooster can pitch? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!"
"Mr. Douglas, I can guarantee you this here creature can chuck a baseball with pinpoint accuracy and do better than any of those pretenders in the Angels bullpen. Guaranteed or your money back!"
"Well, what have I got to lose? I suppose he couldn't do any worse."

At least the cannon fodder we've got in the bullpen have some interesting names.
Deck McGuire...cool baseball name, kind of a throwback to a bygone era, like the 1890's.
Hansel Robles. Where's Gretel??
Akeel Morris...isn't he a linebacker with the 49ers?
Oliver Drake...wasn't he the guy who moved to the country with his wife, played by Eva Gabor? Now that show was funny!

Thanks Blue Jays.

And away we go

This is the direct result of a tapped out budget. Arte has spent over $200M with salaries, benefits and Ohtani’s posting fees on this year’s team. He’s not going to let Eppler add anymore money in 2018.

1. Cancer
2. Trout
3. Upton
4. Buttjols
5. Diarrhea
6. Simba
7. Shite
8. Garbage

nobody cares about today’s lineup.

This would be a bad loss in the standings. 

Simmons is a master at that. I’m good with it. Stupid base running.

Must win situation. 

Baseball games are way too expensive for the average family man. Every time I read that we need to pay Mike Trout 10 years $400M I cringe. 
I used to attend tons of games but not anymore. Pujols and Hamilton really changed the way I follow baseball. I saved my season ticket money to travel to other ballparks every season. Last season was Boston and New York. This season Philadelphia and Baltimore. 

Tough sh*t. If we were in the NL we would still be trailing in the wild card chase.

Dude, piss off.  Seriously, every word you type is dripping with cynicism and defeat.
Why are you even here?
Just wait until the season's over and, if they lose, come back for the wake...and be sure to bring your robe and scythe.

Less baseball fields and more soccer fields is the trend. 

When I’m at Angels stadium I’m a very quiet fan. I don’t yell and scream or boo players, coaches or umpires. I have my Angels gear on and mind my business. 

No doubt the Angels are cheaper but I just enjoy redirecting my baseball entertainment budget to traveling and visiting different ballparks rather than watching the same sunken ship every August and September. 

Ok it’s time to take Neil Young back to sugar mountain. 

I have a friend that has had season seats at Anaheim for a couple of decades and the last five years he's had to sell off close to half of them because he can't afford the seats anymore. And as you said some of those games are a tough sell. When you add in $10.00 or $8.00 or whatever for a f'n Coke it gets to where I feel that I'm being ripped-off. I had access to the Diamond club at one time and it was $50.00 a plate!!!!!!!! Who are they trying to kid? $50.00 for some potato salad and piece of chicken? Take your wife and two kids to that a couple of times a week. lol No more.
