The Ghost of Bob Starr

Better trailer.

Well played. Dos Veinte dos veinte dos veinte dos. I imagine most here missed that.

i for one am not happy right now with this. 
 
I am not happy with with the club for throwing the guy under the bus when we knew what we were buying, not happy with how it was handled, not happy with public comments, and most of all not happy with giving him away for nothing.  Thats the part that upsets me the most... there was zero reason to give the guy exactly what he wanted in the first place, and get nothing for doing it but a pittance in salary relief, are we really that hard up? 
 
Im also not happy with Josh for doing what he did and he 100% bears responsibility in the matter, but its anyone truly shocked?  I applaud him for stepping up and admitting it and turning himself in.. whether or not he would have been caught anyway is another discussion and well never know for sure so its moot... What im most disappointed in him though is his failure to abide by the way things work... insisting on staying in Tex and refusing the assignment.. that, was petty and childish on his part and speak volumes to his character.  i applaud him for being honest about what he did, but not accepting the ramifications of it are absurd.
 
Im equally peeved at mlb for allowing contract language that it wasn't prepared to uphold.  Whats the point of putting stipulations in a contract that the union can simply say no too.   Plus taking as long as they did to make an egregious decision was just... asinine.
 
This could not have been handled worse by all parties as far as i can see but at the end of the day the club pays the price for it and  everyone else goes on about their merry way.  I look forward to seeing him put up better number than 2/3 of our OF and busting us out of playoff spot the last 4 games oft the season. 

I would much rather have:

And I think that gold Chevy bowtie is one of the most hideous things on the planet.

Here's an interesting thing.   Calhoun breaks his bat, and Victor and Gubi reference the Beltre bat breaks last night, and chuckle.  Gubi says, "we had a great conversation in the dugout with Richards before the game."
 
We all know the story now.   It's pretty funny. 
 
How about instead of telling us "hey there was a funny story about broken bats," why not tell the story. 
 
If you're the color guy, be colorful and share those tidbits.  This is my problem with Gubi.   Share some good stuff.   
 
I'm surprised Victor didn't tell the story.
 
This is where I feel like Salmon outshines Gubi.   He has stories.   We don't need any insight (although I do like the pitcher perspective.)  Give us something entertaining while we suffer through another night where our offense is lagging.

That's absurd.
 
Terrible, terrible move by Arte with nothing coming in return but that amount.

Yes, she's single and would love to meet you.  Unfortunately, you will go deaf after a couple hours because the TV is cranked up to maximum volume.

Nobody died... again.

Can we long for the days when the stadium wasn't plastered wall to wall with advertisements. When only minor league games had between inning races?

For the record, I like the DH.

3 game winning streak.... SHAKE UP THE LINEUP!!

Not a bad guy. I've actually had dinner/drinks with him. And I'm pretty sure he used to be on the radio on 690 or something like ten years ago, either with his own show or as a regular guest. I think it was late night. Insightful on pitching. Just not bringing me what I like.

I, uh, used to drag my family to Sizzler once a year for my bday dinner for AYCE shrimp. That lasted about three years before my Dad made new rules about bday dinners.

You never went for the AYCE shrimp and salad bar with steak? Shame. Go find one today and indulge.

So if Mike Trout is busted with an ounce of cocaine next week the Angels are going to have a "zero tolerance policy" for this "illegal drug use?"
 
Bullshit.

We call that the Victor in the Meat Locker. As you can tell, he's not around much.
