Yes

Question for a legal mind here:

If Arte were to have gone through with a sale showing X revenue from the Bally's contract, likely knowing this was coming (from his stake), could that have left him in exposure of misrepresentation?

hope that makes sense, too tired to think through it

You know you can get the chicken tacos on a hard shell and it’s weird but good at the same time. 

Yeah, I got one of those a few years ago on accident (like they gave me someone else's), and it was delicious. The shell compliments the chicken well

Maybe a coincidence that Ohtani shows up in Tempe yesterday and today Arte pulls out of the sale.  Maybe his “unfinished business” involves Ohtani. 
 

 

Completely wishful thinking, but almost makes sense.

Lets say he wants $3.5B (or some such).

Bidders tell him it's not worth that, without an Ohtani extension.

Arte realizes that all he has to do is spend someone else's future money, signs Ohtani to ridiculous deal.

Arte sells again, we benefit.

I always have a hard time remembering his name when I'm trying to think of the guys on the 2002 team.  I have a baseball with most of the 2002 team's signature.  This guy escaped me though...

 

It's like having a Mike Smrek signature from the '86-'87 Lakers

Remember the Irish Panda…?

Yes, that's a much better idea, no sanitised organisational platitudes that say nothing, let's get him pissed up and put him behind the plate with a loudhailer. Give him some peanuts to flick at Altuve too. And more beer! 

The fan profile of the seats around him behind home plate would change dramatically.

We should add this to @Tank's To Do list. Run it up the pole, pal, it's a winner.

 

I’d love to see the occasional drunken parade around the top level as well, banging some Thundersticks like Tad and the Halo ‘Roops. I’d march along to that.

Ghost shark returns?

As long as it cost no Rondons to acquire Rondon, it's good. 

Agreed.

Thankfully, Angels have one as a trade chip now. I wonder what we can get for him...

Let's not forget the 2, no wait, 3, no wait, 4, no let's go to 5 epic past posters.  Whose names are well enough known, that just speaking them has meaning. 

The name who should never be spoken.  The Wise man.  - From the old board.  I think his name was Lee.  He was the wise man that would have the strangest theories.  Then argue 10 pages about it.

Lifetime.  No.  You are wrong.  etc.  The argumentative one that makes Lou look like a saint.  He would never say why anyone was incorrect.  

Air.  This is more of a friendly ribbing that he is older than it.  

Monkey.  Not the current M0nkey.  Another argumentative dude that usually made no sense.  Mostly depicted by a picture of a monkey upchucking.

And finally Tad.  I think that was his name, it's been so long.  Let's put it this way, he was way too big into wrestling.  Even more than AO.  

I can still hear Tad and his “Let’s Go Angels!” chants in my head

Still the best thread we have ever had on this forum.  

Definitely at the top.

I did always enjoy the fellow who claimed the mean streets of Angels Stadium parking lot as his stomping grounds (wasn’t that the guy who would put soda in his water cup at Del Taco, or some dumbass thing like that?) and wanted to fight everyone, and the thread where someone (blanking on name) really got bent on Percy’s hat

I almost want to root for a giant meteor

I expected half the board to have already commented, personally.

Lou learning that I was the man previously called bumpygrimes (or he already knew that and was being sarcastic) got me thinking—what's the origin of your username?

My current username is my first name.

My previous enigmatic username (bumpygrimes) is a bit of an inside joke from my childhood. When I was, like, 6 years old, my little league team got to run out on the field before a minor league game with various members of the Quakes. Each Quakes player had one or two players from my team. I ran out alongside a guy named Stoney Briggs. After the game, my dad was trying to recall the name of the player I ran out with, and he said, "What was the name of that guy? Bumpy Grimes or something?"

For some reason, that butchering of Stoney Briggs's name became an inside joke between my dad and me. When I was 9 or 10, I created my first-ever message board account on the OMB. My username was "heyarnold," in honor of my favorite TV show. A few years later, I thought "heyarnold" was too childish, so I changed it to "bumpygrimes." Several years ago, I was tired of my name sounding like some obscure STD, so I officially became just Taylor.

 

Sounds like the story that Shakey Graves has about his name...

(Warning: white people music ahead)

This is going well

Jeez, we sucked

Can he grow a sweet mullet, though?

That was cool. It was a little weird viewing the videos from right to left, though, so I hope I get used to it.

Not to derail the thread, but that series was great. Anyone reading this thread would dig it. A bunch of stories like the dumb C word in the article above.

Yeah, that’s the one. What a messed up lady.

The series was a good series, you’re right. If I recall correctly, in one episode he went over the murder that would later be referenced in the Toadies song Possum Kingdom, and I couldn’t help but play it while watching.
