Joe Maddon won't want this job, not with the overpaid underachievers, demands for winning big immediately and no real changes coming in the roster. He has a pretty sweet deal where he is with a lot less pressure.

If you can't win the election, hijack the process and punish others until you get your way.

Even in the worst of blowout games, I hang around until the last out. You never know what you might see, whether or not it affects the outcome of the game.

Don't try to make sense of it.

I subscribe to Dollar Shave Club. I get the medium priced blades (four-blade cartridge), which costs me $6 per month for four blade cartridges. The razor was free with my first order. You can get four twin blade cartridges for $1 per month if you want to go as cheaply as possible. The Dr. Carver's Shave Butter ($8 per tube) is a treat. One great thing is that, in addition to containing skin conditioners, it is clear when you apply it to your face. If you have a small cut or an irritated patch you're trying to avoid, you can easily see it as you shave. A tube lasts me for 2-3 months. I also cut the crap out of myself with a safety razor when I was first learning to shave. Took about half an hour to stop the bleeding.

This. Don't ever report anything again unless you're willing to spill all the details, including who told you anything in confidence. You may never get anything again, but it will make for a good story once. /sarcasm I don't understand why some people demand details from people who are close to the club and have an idea what is going on, and insist that the story is false if they don't give them up.

I sincerely hope that you're right.

Kuroda is 38 years old. Do we really want to hand him a two-year deal? It would have the potential of making Joe Blanton look like the second coming of Justin Verlander.

He could have stayed there and probably have had the stadium named after him.

USAA ponied up the money for AFA to make the trip. The game was in danger of being postponed due to the government shutdown.

Was really hoping that ASU would finish off the Fighting Irish.

If he doesn't sue, there will be speculation that it is because he really was using, and evidence of that could become public during the trial. If he does, many may conclude there is no evidence that he is a steroid user, because otherwise he would not run the risk of being exposed as a PED user and a liar (see Rodriguez, Alex and Palmeiro, Rafael).

In Nevada, they are largely isolated on a yard together. Lovelock Correctional Center, in the north central part of the state (about 100 miles east of Reno) is where Nevada sends most of ours. O. J. Simpson is assigned to that facility not because of the sex offenders, but to keep the Las Vegas news media from popping up with their remote feeds in the parking lots every time something comes up about him. The time during his intake process was an absolute circus.

The 44-year-old told the court Thursday that the three girls lied, while calling himself a Christian servant. The victims are always lying, and since he is a servant of the Lord, how could anyone possibly doubt him?

Have a bone.

Blocking Reagins out of one's memory is a defense mechanism.

Love the attitude of people like Rep. Renee Elmers (R-NC). When asked why she isn't donating her paycheck to charity like some other members are doing, she replied, "I need my paycheck. That's the bottom line. I understand that there may be some other members who are deferring their paychecks, and I think that's admirable. I'm not in that position." She doesn't seem to mind forcing the same thing on people who make far less, however.

We don't know that he is. Again, this is an article about nothing by someone with no inside information.

It is just some guy with no information throwing out a story that isn't one. Slow news day at the sports desk, I guess.

Dear New York: We have a pitcher on our staff who has a history of success in the NL East. His name is Joe. Will trade you straight up for your guy and will wait for him, while you can enjoy the services of our guy immediately. You're welcome.

I doubt that Joe would touch this job. Huge payroll, gigantic expectations, aging and underachieving roster, little hope for meaningful change in personnel. In Tampa he and the GM are of like mind, they develop young players and turn baseball on its ear with a payroll a fraction of that of the teams they compete with in the playoffs. There is no pressure and no lofty expectations, which has to make winning all the more gratifying.

It seems that many people are missing that central point. The title says "...expected to stay in Anaheim". This tells me that the writer knows nothing for sure and has no inside information, which begs the question as to why this little blurb was ever written. I did like a couple of the responses from fans (who are also assuming that both staying will be the end result, but still): Only thing more shocking than the Angels disappointing season is that nobody will need to take responsibility for it…..the idea that the “improved” second half showing meant anything should have been dismissed after the disgraceful surrender to the Rangers on the final weekend…..if any team needs a kick in the butt and some fresh thinking, this is the one….instead, looks like another season of declining & overpaid “stars” mixed in with waiver wire stopgaps surrounding Mike Trout. So disappointing. They did not play “so much better” in the second half. They were two games under .500 at the All-Star Break and ended the season six games under. Even if he isn’t completely responsible for Pujols and Hamilton, Dipoto has to pay for Blanton, Hanson, and co. Scioscia hasn’t been effective at the helm for years. Terrible mismanagement on his part. At least fire Butcher! Throw me a bone for goodness sake.

Just shake his hand during spring training, Scott. Problem solved.

I fully understand guys wanting to avoid surgery if necessary. However, I also know that due to poor circulation within it, cartilaginous tissue takes forever to heal on its own, if it ever does. Why not take the sure thing now instead of waiting for months and then having to do it anyway?

Got one. Was not looking forward to going to LA down 0-2. I'm not delusional enough to see the Braves taking two at Dodger Stadium, so I'm just hoping for them to get back home for Game 5.
