I liked the post, but now I've changed my mind. I don't like it.

Game Day Predictions - Game #44 - 5/19/13 White Sox at Angels
tomsred replied to tomsred's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Hamilton 1-4, 1 single. -
I agree with you. However, if you posted this at the time of the Pujols signing how many fans would have agreed that the signing was franchise suicide, and would be willing to ask that Arte not do it. Probably darn few.

The 2013 Angels: A New Dark Age or Time of Transition?
tomsred replied to AngelsWin.com's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
You can't compare the salary level of the 2002 team to the 2013 team, everything is way more expensive now, including baseball salaries. I believe this team would develop chemistry if it started to produce consistent wins. Until then there is nothing to build on. Effective, consistent play builds chemistry and confidence. Yes, this is an extremely disappointing season so far. But many of you are looking at the salary levels on this team, and then projecting performance based on those levels. You have to realize that players like Hamilton, Pujols, Weaver and Wilson are being paid for what they did in the past. Organizations and fans project and hope that that level of performance will continue with their current team. Many times it does not.That's a big issue with free agency and salary levels, and until it changes in baseball to something closer to pay for performance, veteran players will continue to miss the expectation levels placed on them. Young players have the reverse situation, they have no history to demand high salaries, the structure with team control players keeps them underpaid for some time until they earn bargaining and free agency rights. It is easier for fans to feel they are performing well relative to their salary levels. -
Could the Angels win in a Baseball Brawl
tomsred replied to The Ghost of Bob Starr's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Aybar and Bourjos would pull their hamstrings on the way to the fight. Trumbo would take out his bat, study the label, then hit every fourth guy with it. Iannetta wouldn't swing at anyone, but he would walk out and stand on first base. -
He needs a fish name, let's call him "Minnow".

Prescription for this team's ailments
tomsred replied to fan_since79's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
I'm sure yelling at someone who makes $25M per year is going to have an impact, LOL. Sitting that kind of player will not get the response you want. I would keep playing him, let him suffer with the rest of his team mates. Let the fans, and his fellow players take it out on him. The more he under performs the more foolish he looks. -

He's 21. Sometimes he plays like it, most of the time he plays like an experienced vet.

Last time we were 11 games back this early
tomsred replied to fan_since79's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
In May 2001 there were two World Trade Centers in New York, and gas was $1.46 per gallon. There is about as much correlation between the 2013 Angels vs. the 2001 Angels as what the world is like today as to what it was in May 2001. -
195 ER in 40 games by Halos pitching
tomsred replied to bloodbrother's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Have we officially transitioned from wanting a big bat to wanting a big arm? -
Trade him for 5 major league starters, then we can go back to looking for a big bat once again.

Coaches are a DiPoto decision, that was proven last year. We're not paying for anything, they are Arte's bucks.

Pujols 2-4 1 single. -
Nothing like a $5 doll to attract people to drive through heavy traffic burning up gas costing 2-3 times more in many cases than a hunk of plastic with an oversized head.
