Heyman was right...
We're "stepping on the gas pedal"!!!
While in park

The Great Gillaspie 

Hopefully the cash involved was whatever Stoneman had in his pocket the time...

Offense is stacked now. WS favorites confirmed

I've read rumors of the Angels supposed interest in dealing for another MR. If they could get Benoit without giving up too much, that would make for a pretty sick back end of the bullpen. Benoit, Smith, Street would be sweet.

I got 2 words for you... Bill Stoneman

Now that Derek is in.  Can we request a poker table for the suite?

Derek + 2  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys, thank you very much for the kind words. He was a great man and the reason my brother and I love baseball and more specifically the Angels. As I have shared in the past, our oldest brother was the black sheep and he was a Dodger fan, and was buried in his Dodger jersey that I had bought him that year for Christmas. Splint and I will be at the game tomorrow during the day watching my dad's two favorite teams, wearing Torrii Hunter Angel gear to represent both teams, and drinking a few beers. If any of you are there tomorrow hit me up.

Wait until Freddie Flounder makes his MLB debut.

I thought this was worth sharing. My favorite player of the 90s, and the player that up until a few years ago could be considered "Mr Angel" and arguably the best outfielder they've ever had, is none other than Tim Salmon (Edmonds was as good, and better as a Cardinal, but I'm talking total career as an Angel). Salmon accrued a total of 35.5 fWAR in 1672 games played - a solid career that puts him in the Hall of the Very Good.
 
Now here is where it gets crazy. Salmon made his major league debut on August 21, three days shy of his 24th birthday. Keep that in mind.
Let's move on to Mr. Trout. On August 7 he will turn 24 years old. On August 4, Trout will be the same age that Salmon was when he played his first major league game. Digest that.
 
Hold onto your seats. Trout currently has 35.0 fWAR, 0.5 fWAR less than Salmon's entire career. Yes, that's right - Trout is about a two-homer game away from equaling Salmon's career output. Unless he slumps terribly, Mike Trout should surpass Tim Salmon's career total in fWAR before the age that Salmon played his first major league game, which would be August 4. Right now, Trout's played 583 games - a bit more than a third of Salmon's career (34.9%, to be exact).
 
Let me put it another way, and more succinctly:
 
Mike Trout has already provided as much total value to his team in his 583 games of play, as Tim Salmon did for his entire career of 1672 games, and all before the age that Salmon played his first major league game.
 
I don't know about you, but that just blows my mind.
 
p.s. I nominate my own post for Trout Porn Post of the Year.

Praying for all the victims of the Ashley Madison hack. This must feel like a total betrayal of their trust.

I'm a maybe. 

I may bring orange slices again. 

Yes. This was one of the best shows I've seen in years. Watched the entire series in one night. The whole thing is great, but the ending was amazing.

He doesn't post here as much as before, since he moved to Vegas.  But he is pretty well known on here by the old timers.  

I like Greenstein.
 
The real question is is Claude is getting DEREKLAND together for the main event?

Poker is fun. For everyone.
