  1. If they aren't gone there's a good chance I might be. It's not worth getting emotionally invested in the team as much as I have the last several years if they don't radically change their course.
  2. I doubt other teams would be willing to assume the remainder of his contract in a trade. They might be willing to take him for peanuts if Moreno buys out the contract.
  3. I wonder if Steven Geltz will somehow turn into a Cy Young candidate out of nowhere a la Fernando Rodney
  4. I would have no objection to them painting over the Josh Hamilton mural at the Angel Stadium facade
  5. Remember earlier on in the season when Mark Lowe, in a similar analogy to what you just posted, was hailed as the "clean peanut"? good times
  6. When I last checked the Angels were up 5-0. **** this team
  7. Problem is we're not spoiling the right team (read: the Rangers)
  8. Scioscia has not one, but three rings -- he counts for 3 of the 11 "world series appearances" on Moreno's ridiculous billboard
  9. With our luck this season it will be a Dodgers - Rangers world series.
  10. Let me clarify the like: while I'm not particularly a fan of the Dodgers, I can't help but like seeing Rodney get owned
  11. That's the Fernando Rodney I remember...
  12. Angels are also among the worst in stranding runners on base, grounding into double plays, and running into outs on the basepaths. That means high SLG / OBP / AVG isn't actually translating into runs. A lot of that is due to poor in-game calls from Scioscia. They're also very bad in defense despite having a lot of talented players. I believe that is a result of poorly run spring training regimens, also the part of Scioscia and the coaching staff.
  13. Cabrera actually has people gettign on base in front of him (for him to drive in) and behind him (as protection / motivation for opposing teams to actually pitch to him). To be honest with Hamilton and Trumbo behind him I'm surprised Trout isn't walked more often.
  14. Hanson will win, but it will be the fault of Blanton: Hanson will remain a starter and at some point walk the bases loaded. Blanton will be brought in in relief and allow the inherited runners to score.
  15. $1500 is less than the amount of money Joe Blanton makes to throw one pitch.
  16. You can tell from the audio feed the vast majority of those who remain are Rangers fans
  17. At least next we'll help Cleveland get on a roll so that they can take care of Detroit
  18. if we gift a bunch of games to the Astros we'll just be helping the White Sox or Marlins to jump in front of the Astros in the draft pick standings. There's no incentive for the Astros to go along with that.
  19. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=3&season=2013&month=0&season1=2013&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=11,d The Orioles are clutch. The Angels are not.
  20. not directed at anyone in particular. I posted that right after the two run bomb.
  21. Blanton sucks. Let's trade him for a high quality pitching prospect [/forumlogic]
  22. I only know of one case of someone actually stealing first in a professional baseball game during my lifetime: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/jean-segura-steals-second-then-steals-first-bizarre-103642855--mlb.html
  23. ...nor the disabled former all-star getting paid $250M to be a mentor/glorified hitting coach.
  24. Tommy Hanson has a high FB/GB ratio. With Bourjos and Trout in the OF we can't lose!
