This team needs a complete overhaul. We have some solid players, but they just don't get it done together. I don't care if they go on and have career All-Star years. They'll never do that in Anaheim. F you Howie, Aybar, Callaspo, Frieri, Trumbo, Iannetta, Conger, Blanton, and whoever else I forgot. GET OFF OUR FIELD! 

I think it starts at the top... Jerry Dipoto is a joke.

Yep. Everyone who can be on the block, should be except Trout and Weav.
 
The two anchors aren't moveable either but that goes without saying.

First off. Up yours, Frieri.

His performance tonight was a microcosm of the past four seasons for the Angels. So much hype and expectations followed by shit in the end.

Trade them all (except Trout and Weaver).

When someone takes over in an interim basis if they do a good job they usually get handed the job. Case in point the Knicks coach after Dantoni got canned. GM and everyone else in player development, coaches need to get sent out of town and get people with a vision for the future and know whats going on.

He had 6 weeks experience as an interim GM before coming here. Why didn't Arizona want to keep him as their GM? They weren't sold on him, that's why.

I remember when everyone loved him talking about how he was going to be more of a stat guy. Except what he brought in was all over the hill turds and flame buckets in the pitching department

Me get ready for a 2015 run. Whats another bad year with a sense of direction then a wasted year finishing third or fourth place again

LOL they basically traded all their terrible contracts and Gonzales seems like it was a huge surprise they are doing well this year.

the org needs to decide if its rebuilding or trying to compete.
unfortunately right now they appear to not know what the're doing. and not because of this move or other recent moves but due to conflict between the coaching staff and the front office. imo, ownership should attempt to get everybody on the same page.

I can't wait to have one of our players be bad and then have the internet told you so , so then someone can rip on the internet told you so for being a failo and wanting one of our players to do poorly

First I just want to say that when I gave up on the season a month or so ago I didn't think the Angels would still be this bad today. 
 
I don't usually rant much but here it goes. I am so frustrated with this team, not even because they are terrible this year its because they have no passion no fire and just seem so lifeless. This is not a Mike team no one other than Trout and Bourjos has any speed and only Trout knows how to use it to steal bases. We no longer go 1st to 3rd we are a station to station team with over the hill aging veterans who fell of the PED cliff once they signed here. I don't know what happened to Pujols and Hamilton, and don't use the excuse the Pujols is hurt guy has looked awful for two years and has been declining for 4 or 5. 
 
This team needs a complete and utter revamp and retool and explosion and if they don't we are doomed for the next 4 plus years of finishing in third or fourth. If Dipoto only trades Downs we are stuck with basically the same line up that is crapping its bed this year. Trade them all anyone and everyone who you can. Look at what Boston did, they basically traded all their crappy contracts to a team and now is back with a great minor league system young players and such. Baseball is no longer a team that wins with 32 plus year old guys. You win with young talent. There is much less steroids and PEDs going around now then before when people would have career years past their 35th birthday.Get rid of people who have value to us but won't be of use when we are rebuilding such as Weaver Wilson etc. Keep Trout and Bourjos and build around that young nucleus. Everyone else can go for all I care. 
 
 
 
 

Trade everyone who has value except Trout. Rebuild and reset if the Angels don't do that then this is going to be one long 5 or 6 years

I thought he was going to be a good change at GM but he has missed the boat on a lot of deals. I don't know why people blame Arte for signing Pujols, CJ and Hamilton, and giving no blame to Dipoto. But maybe Dipoto wanted Pujols and Hamilton so bad he told Arte to get after it as well and sell the team to them. Dipoto hasn't been very good here and most of his decisions have not worked out. I kind of hope for a rehaul of the organization this off season. With Dipoto and Mike being let go and letting a whole new cast of characters run this team. But hey that's just me.

I love Timmah guys awesome congrats!

I'd like to see Bourjos hit 2nd. Dude can crush fastballs and with Trout on base a good chunk of the time that's a good thing. Hamilton needs to be moved down to 6th until he's proven he's back to form.

You guys are fun sometimes. He's what 20? and he's considered a douche because he is out going and likes to have fun. Alright. To most you guys, all athletes should never show their personality. Never talk just play the game and go home and sleep.

First. He is the best player on the team, he steals, he gets on base. We need him at the top of the order to set the pace. So the oldies can hit him in.

That's gonna leave a mark

I am there, Diamond club right behind Angels batting area.

Agreed 100%!!! We have the technology to not get things right we should. In before someone says but thats the beauty of the game the human element you mean "error".
