And both are just great people on and off the field. A Trout-Stanton 1-2 punch would be sick.

Honestly, if we landed Stanton somehow, Trout will extend. Period. Even through FA signings there is no one else you can pair up with Trout that will make a big difference IMO. Pujols is being sunsetted. Calhoun is meh... Simmons is great but not a MOTO bat.

Currently..

Gonna sticky this bitch..

Can he have a G. Richards biceps cramp please?

Why don't you just enjoy the win instead of worrying about things out of your control and worrying about tomorrow?

Yep. Kershaw usually sucks balls in the postseason.

Good job Halos! We absolutely needed a split here after dropping the first game. Holding our 2nd WC spot for another day!

Haha, no shit... lol

Since when did Blanton throw mid-90's heaters?

Jon Morosi of FOX Sports hears the Marlins are "willing to engage with other teams" on a possible Giancarlo Stanton trade. Stanton cleared revocable waivers on Sunday, so he's eligible to be dealt to any club -- assuming he would not exercise his full no-trade protection. Miami's asking price is probably sky high even with Stanton owed more than $285 million on a mega-contract that runs through 2027. The 27-year-old slugger is batting .285/.376/.646 with a league-leading 44 home runs and 94 RBI in 116 games this season. Source: Jon Morosi on Twitter

31 home runs he's given up this season. Outside of a few solid starts he's just been awful this season. We're always coming from behind when he's on the mound it seems, or just downright losing ball games. How much longer do we have to endure this guy?

He can't get anyone out. He sucks.

Hey Nolasco, see Jered Weaver's move today and take heed.

@Jeff Fletcher, I noticed that your articles coming in from the OC Register's RSS feed are the full story, rather than a snippet and link to read this rest. Is this by design or? We don't control whether a feed is full or short w/ a link to read the rest. I'm good either way, but I just wanted to bring it to your attention in case it is an issue so you can have your people look at it.

You're way off on this take, @floplag

Howie has been on the DL twice this season, both for extended period of times. Fuck off.

Anyhow, to respond to the topic title... Eppy

I think all of us were in favor of the Valbuena signing. It sucks that he hasn't performed, but you can't strike gold with every signing.
