Sorry to hear the news, Lou. I always appreciated your timely wit and feedback. Wishing you the best. Your #1 Dumbass fan.

Point taken.

This headline could also go with the following headline that should have been used through most of the season: Angels use a lineup with 5 players who would not be playing in the majors if they weren't in an Angels' uniform.

Could work........What about the righty-lefty issue?

I think having Ohtani masquerading as Adell would be difficult. They seem to be different heights which would obviously give it away.

I am expecting either the same payroll or a modest increase to remain "competitive" during the sale period. I can't imagine anyone or group interested in purchasing the Angels interested in having Arte limiting the teams competitiveness. I think maintaining status quo is the best business plan for Arte and probably the most inviting option for prospective buyers. Of course, I've never spent a couple of billion dollars so I actually have no idea about any of this. I just want to watch the Angels play in the playoffs.

Minasian is working to keep his job.....it doesn't make much sense that he would simply have a placeholder manager. I expect Minasian to push all of his chips in during this off-season. Unless Arte says no, I expect him to to make some aggressive moves because there is no reason to wait for new ownership with an Ohtani and Trout window.

Got to like the way they play 100 lose teams tough. Having Loup give back two runs to one of the worst offensives in MLB was quite unexpected. Can't blame Nevin for that.

Seems like a very Angel thing to. Looking forward to the contract extension.

Having Loup and Tepera being consistently used negates most leads. However, the primary reason for a dismal season is sitting in the front office. Minasian has been impressive during his short tenure.

More specific to a better offense, having league average replacement production from hitters 5-9 would make a huge impact. Having a hitting philosophy incorporating "productive outs" as well as putting the ball in play where it is pitched would also hugely help.

How about as O’Neal’s replacement?

How about as a reliever?

Having a troubled youth listening to many “chats” will make some folks lucky.

Your head is huge.

Funny, I only hear Charlie Brown’s teacher when O’Neal talks.

A 10% Rendon is much better than a 100% Ford.

Damn it AO......your killin' my vibe.

My apologies....I live in Bend, Oregon. However, I completely agree about living in Minnesota.

Could be because other teams have a front office capable of finding talent. The Angels don't resulting in AAA team that looks more like an independent baseball team.

Bend-Francisco. Californians move here for the quality of life, like outrageous home prices, aggressive driving and the instagram "look at me" photo opportunities.

Terrible base running at 2nd base on the sac fly. That is how you find ways to lose.
