  1. I always think people over 25ish that are behind the counter are managers or own the place.
  2. I never thought a good bullpen was so black and white. Teams get guys like De La Rosa that come out of nowhere or we see random situations like 2002 where Weber and Donnelly came out of nowhere (literally) to make the Angels pen one of these good bullpens mentioned.
  3. no, that's why they work at McDonald's
  4. ambitious enough to shoot for the raise, not ambitious enough to shoot past McDonald's
  5. kind of the same as last year and what was disgruntling about last year. we need Pujols to bounce back, again, and Hamilton to have a good year. the main thing is what happened last year with Hanson and Blanton. I didn't mind the moves because if we simply got average production from them we would have been fine. so back to the drawing board simply trying to get two pitchers to pitch at league average towards the back of the rotation.
  6. Kind of what I thought with that purported trade offer. I can only gather that the Tigers already had Kinsler lined up and could salary dump.
  7. I don't think Cory needs to use condoms since his dates haven't had their periods yet.
  8. Blarg pretty much nailed it. I don't get why anyone is upset or calling for heads to roll because some team signed a relief arm that we already addressed. I'll never understand the "player x signs with team y, so the Angels aren't doing their job" crowd. Yes, it would be sweet if the Angels signed every free agent or consulted with the Angels first.
  9. weird that we got a #3-#4ish type with Vargas for Morales, but can't do the same with Trumbo.
  10. had a sales gig in San Diego with a dollar store right beneath our office suite. it's the last time I've ever been in one and purchased a box of Frosted Flakes, but the box was in Spanish, and a shower curtain that was the equivalent of a very cheap black garbage bag with some holes at the top that never worked as it always stuck to itself.
  11. sign colon, have him win another CY young here. then lure Jamie moyer out with a 9 year deal.
  12. yeah, I don't think I've seen real racism here either.....just extremely un-pc jokes for all races. twitter just gets worse and worse for me. I still don't get it.
  13. yeah, juice is tore up about all the killings and told Nero he killed the mom on jax order. thought Nero would do something and die, but looks like he may jump into the father role. speaking of which, interested to see how he plays out with the Mayans, which are cool to see back. I guess we find out Taras plan in the finale.
  14. but could you watch the rick moranis boxed set on one of those?
  15. ironically, I knew this. I had the very issue of the basketball magazine slam way back in the day and they did a write up and interviewed one of the dudes about the name.
  16. another a-rod/rangers situation. a star on a bad team doesn't go anywhere.
  17. I think what hurts Wilson is they are winning with complete team wins with defense and special teams doing exceptional as well. I was impressed though with Wilson. you never know if it's a fluke rookie season, but he has the tools. But it was hard for me to put the team and win on him. I was more impressed the d held them to 7 points, but also remembered this is a saints team that lost to the jets. I don't think he's getting consideration for MVP outside of Seattle, though. Some of these talking heads already talk about Manning winning it.
  18. kind of average, but not in a bad way. because it's a re-creation it doesn't have or do anything special. I didn't know too much history or facts of the situation, so it was a good history recount. worth the $1.30 at redbox and two hours if you are interested in seeing it. it's just pretty straight forward with the facts amassed from the incident opposed to creativity or leaving anything to the viewer. ironically, I thought it was identical to Bobby, if you've seen that. same kind of movie version documentary with known actors and actresses of the Bobby Kennedy assassination as it played out.
  19. weird, my dogs name is #8. I thought it was kind of a boring pick. name your pup mookie after the greatest basketball player ever, mookie blaylock.
  20. I don't get why some people think every team needs to contact the Angels before consummating a deal or that deals going through means the Angels aren't working the phones.
  21. I joked about a four man rotation a couple weeks back because the 2012 Rockies essentially did it.
  22. Wilson is in the discussion, but I think only a homer picks him. I think he should be recognized the same way Jamal Charles should, but won't. What Manning does is ridiculous. Decker sucks but looked like a God because of Manning changing plays and finding him the ball.
