Out

Trump?  Yep...a colony of dung beatles died rolling that ball of shit together.

Rumor has it that if you say "member" too many times in a thread tdawg heads to his bunk...

You mean if people didn’t talk about it then no one would know the Angels need pitching and Cole is from OC?
I think it can certainly backfire in the sense that fans will be more upset if he doesn’t sign, but I don’t think any of it has any impact on the people who are actually involved. 

Yep and Boras can’t wait to bring him to the auction. I hope he wins a World Series MVP award.

There was literally ZERO reason to pull Jose Suarez.
ZERO. 
Gawd it's going to be tough watching him manage a really good team into the shitter over the next seasons. 
Please retire Brad Assmunch.

Ausmus broke our most reliable relief pitcher this season by going to the BP way too early in games. 
So what, Suarez gave a two-run dinger. He has been pitching well. 
I still think Ausmus is a shitty manager. 

Yes you summed my opinion of him up perfectly, in a single meme.  Thank you. 

Canadian is not a language. 

Or say "alexa, play the rainstorm with whale songs mp3". Then watch 80s porn stories on your phone. Not the bushy sex parts. Just the dialogue. 

100% agree, which is where I wish most of us were on this subject instead of some of the shit being spoken on here whether it is true or not.  

Jesus you are a hypocrite.  You may not be a kumbaya type but you absolutely come on here to state your same few opinions over and over and over again, which I guess is as necessary as breathing for you.  
YK- “Albert is bad”
YK-“Arte is bad”
YK- “firemen are bad”
YK- “uniforms that promote anything is bad”
YK- “bringing anything to light during sporting events is bad”
Did I miss anything?  

If this place was kumbaya you bozos couldn't play your self righteous martyr acts. Which for you guys is as necessary as breathing. 
The ESPN board was a frigging man-love fest in October of 2002. We all loved each other more than Pride week in Long Beach.
Winning cures a lot.

Well they would have won it in spite of Ausmus, in spite of Albert, in spite of Upton. Arte is a shitty owner because it took this long.  Also, of course we won because we spent more money than Oakland and Houston.  That’s a glimpse into some narratives. 

But, but he didn’t have a spring training. He’s only had like 6177 career major league at bats. He’s fine.

Aitken said investigators also would consider whether Skaggs obtained the drugs from a legitimate prescriber, then continue up the supply chain to the pharmacist and manufacturer.
I fail to see the point in this (aside from the legitimacy of the prescriber). Both of the drugs in question have legitimate medical uses, and both are dispensed with warnings not to use them in excess or in combination with a similar drug or alcohol. Any pharmacist would presumably have only filled a legitimate prescription, and the manufacturer(s) include warnings with the medications. Potential liability might exist if the ordering physician is a "pill mill" doctor, perhaps even dispensing the medications himself/herself, like the pain clinics that  dispense opioid pain relievers without a qualifying medical diagnosis.

"Tyler mixed drugs & alcohol and died, but its not his fault, someone gave him the drugs, and they forced him to drink.  Lets see how much money we can get"
Sounds like millennial reasoning to me.

Mixed with those two drugs? Hell yes!

No MLB shouldn’t take any of the blame.  Bottom line is this is a job where your shelf life is very short compared to most careers and very very lucrative.  So the pressure to perform is pretty large.  A player, if they managed their money properly, could retire pretty young without having to deal with the possibility of injury related drug addiction.  

No. Adults who make their own decisions are where the blame lies. 

Photo album?

50 years from now this post will be a perfect representation of you, nicely done. 

But Eppler's FA signings have been downright awful. 
Eppler gets kudos for restoring a weak farm system, but if that farm system and the parent club don't produce at the major league level in year 5 of his tenure here, Eppler needs to go! 

Dude, I'm so tired of you crying over this. This is an open forum and if you don't like someone's posts, just block them on here. It's that easy. I've illustrated how to do this many times. 
Please stop with your self righteous shit. 

Eppler signed Harvey, Cahill, Allen, Bour and last season, Cozart. He has been shit as far as FA signings go. I hope Arte steps in and opens his wallet for Cole and Strasburg, or at least one of the two and then trades for another #3 guy. 
Ausmus has been a terrible manager IMO. The injuries are not on him, his managerial style has been awful. I won't go rounds with you over this, I've stated my reasons why a hundred times. 

That's what happens when Chris Sale pitches.
Oh wait
