  1. Mike appears to have no feel for his players at all. I don't think mike is trying to make any kind of statement to upper management. I just think he is out of touch.
  2. When I wake up at 5:45 it men's its my dy off and I slept in! See you all at the tailgate!
  3. Aurelio Rodriguez must have had his 8+fwar when he as still with the tigers if only Glaus,Erstad and trout have done it with theAngels.
  4. Trout has been better than Mathis since just before the All Star Game. Just need to trust what your eyes are telling you.
  5. My math may not be perfect but 10.5 billion saved by serving less than 9 million women?what does that add up too per woman?
  6. West coast players rarely get the recognition they deserve for any of he awards.erstads stud season with 240 hits and 100 ribs from th layoff spot was good for 15th place in MVP voting. Weaver was left off of some ballots al together last year. Whe you vote for top five spots there is no way here were five pitchers better than Weaver last year. Nolan Ryan had 22 wins led the league in Ks ( 383 still the season record) era well under 4. Was easily the most dominant pitcher in the game and finished 4 or 5. Remember the BBWAA can give these awards to whoever they want. Same with Rawlings and their gold gloves. Biased organizations handing out awards is not a true indication of who the best players really are.
  7. ROY are usually from a different time zone. Unless they have years worthy of MVP votes as well. Or they area trendy pick because the same team has had two or three consecutive players win. Oakland and Dodgers come to mind.
  8. I will never go to the library again. I have been told since time immortal that if you wanted to learn the facts about something you go to the library's. I have always been fascinated by butterfly's and moths. They are so pretty colorful and flutter through life with such whimsy and at a pace that lets the,enjoy everything around them. The whole idea that hey were once less than pretty as a caterpillar is amazing to me. They climb their ugly butts up on a tree or the eaves ofa house and attach themselves. They somehow spin a cocoon around themselves and go to sleep. There is a true metamorphosis during this sleep/ hibernation.they break throught this outer shell and become who they were always were on the inside. This is truly a metaphor for life itself. Be who you are. Your inner beauty will come to light in time. By the way I learn all of this on the interweb. I stand by my opinion of the library as stated earlier. I went to local library because I was interested I. Learning about butterflies and moths and it was the most shocking event of my young life. I checked out a book called " advice for young mothers" and it was a total waste of time. Long live the interweb for learn in' . I shared this story to show just how good the first post really was.
  9. A lot of the TV guys last year were saying that Harper was going to be much better. They were wrong. Different players bringing different things to their teams. Both probably have an MVP in their future. Although Harper has an edge there playing on east coast. Harper has not really stood out as a douche except for that haircut.
  10. Ortiz. Kemp. Hanley. Encarnacion. Garza. No proof except for Ortiz, but rage issues combined with hot/cold play makes me wonder.
  11. Ortiz and his ties to the posetive sample testing seems to have disappeared. No one in national media mentions it ever. He should be ignored when he becomes eligible for HOF. He was washed up when left Minnesota. His career didn't take off until he found steroids.
  12. That was my point LT. So many people take headlines at face value without any analytical thought. Am not so sure most people would analyze every issue anyway. But I believe we are entitled to honesty when presented "evidence" with which to make a decision.
  13. Even if you count he 8.9 million women that were served by these programs the implication is a savings of over 1,000,000 per person serviced. I am not arguing the need for such services, that is for another thread. I am just saying that the numbers appear to be bullshit. The implication is the government would have spent 10.5 billion more if we didn't have these services. Implication hell the article actually says it.
  14. Chavez catch was a clutch play. No doubt about it. But as far as degree of difficulty it probably isn't even top 100. The stage is the only reason any of us even remember it.
  15. So we save 10 million on each unplanned birth? Does no one cross check this shit? 10,500,000,000 saved on 1,100,000 births.
  16. I think Trumbo will have the biggest leap of improvement. He will see a lot better pitches because everyone around him will be performing. If Hamilton could just hit Colons weight I would be happy.
  17. Was so nice to see a highlight reel catch that didn't come off an angel bat. I still think that Edmunds catch in Kansas City was the best catch of all time. Only one close is Mays off wertz and only because that one was in the series.
  18. A vast majority of the hate came when he went to the Yankees. Remember when everyone thought he was going to the redsox? Boston loved him? Then they wouldn't pony up the extra Cash in the trade to Texas and deal was called off. The hate came a week or so later when he went to the Yanks. Is stupid really. He was the greatest power hitting SS ever in his prime and switched to third to accommodate Jeter and go to a team that wanted a World Series ring. There are a lot worse characters in baseball.
  19. Trout will repay the angels for the generous raise he received in the off season. Repay the loyalty they showed him.
  20. Runner at third base and four batters come up and we get nothing. Not even a ball in play from the first three batters. This is losing baseball.
  21. Mike seems to have lost his feel for his players. He just keeps making the wrong decisions. Even when they seem to be right ones they turn out wrong. He shoves line up moves down our throats that make no sense.
