Oh...and the "Clean Up" position....HOW MANY Ks looking will "J UP" earn tonight?

Over/Under is 2

OVER WINS...as the Ump decided to call two consecutive strikes (first borderline....the second dead on in the strike zone) balls. Upton is just terrible.

Oh...and the "Clean Up" position....HOW MANY Ks looking will "J UP" earn tonight?

Over/Under is 2

Between SS and C ....How many hits will occur?

I'll hang up and listen off air...

Halos tanking for Zion...

Come on guys! Angels SWEPT Los Doyers!

That was OUR WORLD SERIES! 

Remember that 14 year old kid - with his 2 Doyer buddies - when Kole pegs out the tying run! 

That's our shining moment...

Yeah but we were 67-45 at this point in 2002. Geez this sucks. My Dodgers neighbors are already giving me grief. 

4 - 0

one of the greatest baseball players in history 

Not with the Angels...zero playoff wins in eight years.

Quite an accomplishment....wouldn't you say? 

Hoping that Albert hooks up with ol' teammate Josh - they go on a binder - making Albert's contract void - thusly loosing up $59 million which would allow the team to get some pitchers...

but that's just me...

Pretty sure KC would have wanted Segura over Aybar when they traded Grienke...

Too bad the trade was with Milwaukee...

Actually AJ, Eppler was hired in October 2015, and his first big move was within the first few months in acquiring Simba for Aybar and Newcomb.    This is year 4.  

That was a great trade....however...should'd traded FUBAR and kept Jean Segura years ago...but Arte loved little Erick....

Didn't you see him :30 after the deadline? Nice big plate of chow.

Here's what he was doing :30 before the deadline....workin' the phones...

I didn't read all the comments (whatever) but here's my take....it falls at the feet of Arte.

He hit an absolute grand slam signing Vladdy...then he went into Gene Autry mode - signing past their prime players OR last season heroics made Star-Struck Arte sign them:

Some examples:

Steve Finely: Hits homer to clinch division for Dodgers - Atre signs him. He Blows

King Kong Matsui - World Series MVP - Arte signs him - Ancient 

Josh Hamilton - Huge mistake - after all - even when he goes 0 for playoffs - he gets deservedly booed by fans - he doesn't care cuz "I play for my teammates"

CJ Wilson / GMJr - Both these guys did squat in Texas - never a clutch hit (ever) or a solid pitching performance consistently. Arte relied of GMJr steroid infused stats in Texas and CJ hometown BS

There's more...but...

THEN

THERE'S

ALBERT

Star Struck Arte was amazed how St. Louis treated Albert earlier this season....but remember how they 'low-balled' him to re-sign? And how the fans didn't get all up in arms when he signed with the Halos. But Arte saw him strike lighting in the World Series and even at thirty freaking one...inks him for 10 crappy - no playoff wins...years.

ARTE is the problem. He's overrated as an owner. Beer prices are as high as ever...and so are the salaries for another mediocre year - with the best player in the game sitting home this post season. ..because of the god awful bullpens and lack of starting pitching.

SELL ARTE SELL...

The wheels of the Buttery bus are off. 

Red Sox laughing their asses off.

Not just no....but HELL NO! 

Who brought this up? Let's get 'em!!!!!!

Friday Night just eased some pain....I still tear up when I watch CALLING ALL ANGELS and see Nick. It'll be a long, long time to get over Tyler.

Besides the last time I knew someone who "Had a feeling"...it was this guy:

All I know - next year - the Manager HAS TO FIGURE OUT when to start him in a NL park. He's not your typical #9 hitting pitcher. 

As for this year...does anyone else find his "running on the basepaths" comical? I mean his soccer goalie gloves? 

Dang - We have 3 young pitchers: Canning, Barria, Suarez. All YOUNG....with upside. It's been an emotional week.

Heaney is fair...we need another arm to compete. Maybe JC takes that spot? Maybe after the team trades Calhoun for an arm?

The kids will figure it out. Remember - the Angels no longer have Mike Butcher as pitching coach...

Was checking in on a few other games on MLBtv. The Cincinnati Reds are wearing a jersey without sleeves, it looks kind of strange.

Halos Sunday Home Uniforms of yesteryear was awesome. Wish they'd bring them back.

Upton to first? Ummm - I’ve seen his act in LF...and I wouldn’t feel comfortable with him at 1B. 

Dude’s glove and judgement are suspect...

Shit we better release him and Ohtani then.  

We can release Bour...I have zero problems with that.

Jeff Mathis was the #2 catcher out of that draft behind Joe Mauer.

Mauer is a boarderline Hall of Famer.

Mathis can't even hit above the Mendoza line...yet here he is...
