DEATHRACERCHEVY

I just can't blame Scioscia or Dipoto for Josh Hamilton for being on the ALDS roster. Josh Hamilton put the entire organization on the spot when he told the media on Tuesday before the roster was set..."He said he's set for Thursday when the Angels host the wild-card winner in the opener of the AL Division Series.
"I feel good, just like yesterday. I ran, threw, faced a lot of pitching, so I'm good to go," Hamilton said.
What was the organization going to do call him a liar and leave him off the roster? 

If the postseason is a crap shoot then I want whatever dice the Red Sox, Giants, and Cardinals are using.

I can't be the only one who thought this thread was gonna be about the ALDS.

Its not a crap shoot.  The same players repeatedly choke every postseason.  Kendrick has had several chance to prove himself, he always craps the bed every time we make it.  CJ and Hamilton have always been useless in October, but we signed them anyway and look what happened.  
 
You can try to call it a crap shoot as much as you want, but how many times do we have to get eliminated before people start realizing you dont just luck yourself to a championship.  Theres a reason the Cardinals and Giants have won.  The Red Sox won last year because they had a roster full of postseason performers.  Saying its a crap shoot is just a cop out for a team that always dominates the regular season but cant get it done when it matters.  

THE KITTENS HAD NO ONE ELSE except a AAA kid on the bench??????
WOW!

THAT IS SORRRY WAY TO LOSE

O's pulling a Scioscia. Walking the potential winning run for a hopefull double play.

You know this is a great subject. A bit off your subject but still connecting to it. My boyfriend happens to be white, and he's an angel fan. Some mutual friends for my brother's little league team are Mexican like I myself am and love the Dodgers. When they found out he was an angel fan, he just kind of laughed and was like " los gabachos simpre les van a los angeles". Which is yes those whites always go for the angels. For me it threw me off to hear someone point it that way considering I believe people root for teams they like regardless of race.
TL;DR
People will also says try to make anything sound racist it they want to feel offendes.

Am I the only one who loves when Chuck joins in on the gloominess? That's when you know things are bad.

WIN!

We're a bunch of assholes.

If the Yankees offered Ellsbury this much just imagine what they will offer Mike Trout after 2017.
Bidding will start at $300 million.

I just want to get Crawford back to Fenway and watch him melt down playing the other team. And then for AGoon to tell reporters after the sweep that it wasn't in god's plan.
 
Something something Beckett fried chicken something.

Red Sox/Dodgers WS would be awesome for baseball. That's the matchup I want, as for who I want to win, that should be obvious.
 
I'm liking how vehemently the Angels and Dodgers despise each other. Interleague play needs more natural rivalry matchups, not less.

There are two groups of people in LA that don't want the Dodgers to win the World Series:  LA Firefighters and LA Riot Police. 

Red Sox. Purely because they have more beards and less Puigs

The Buffalo Bills fans might argue with you.

Plus, Mariano Rivera is one of the classiest dudes in baseball. In an industry characterized by so many douches, I see no problem with honoring a quality human being.

Winning is great.
Waiting until late August to win isn't so great.
New leadership and new attitude are badly needed.

Dare I say that I agree with Austin. The Angels are a train wreck so journalists are finding ways to throw gas on the fire. This happened in 2012 and now it's coming out. I find the timing a bit suspect. Last year, along with this season, has been filled with frustration. I bet there were more flare ups in the clubhouse besides this one. But nobody would care if Macier tried to throw a punch at Iannetta. 

Just read through this whole thread and laughed through every page. It makes me want to cry, honestly. Some of these posts are gold now...and not in a good way. RIP 2013 Angels.

Anyone else think this topic has been beaten to death since April?

It was a lot of fun. I have no idea who anyone was out there. Richard on Gotbeers team made a diving catch in left center. Adam made a diving play in the first game at third which was impressive.
My favorite person out there was a 78 year old gentleman who got out only once today. He is my favorite human right now.
I'm very proud of all of you for your donations, we really did a great thing. I'm looking forward to next year when we try and out do this year.

That was a blast, thanks to all who put it together and I hope we raised some good money for the cause! Team Stradling!

When I wake up at 5:45 it men's its my dy off and I slept in! See you all at the tailgate!
