From the LA Times - Angels are unraveling, but why should anyone care? It's baseball

[AngelsWin.com]

The Angels started 2-7 and miss Torii Hunter's leadership. But so what? The real issues are escalating cost and diminishing entertainment value of attending a game.<br/><br/>Whatever Mike Scioscia is being paid to manage the Angels, it isn't enough.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/sports/baseball/mlb/angels/~4/5TVA9ddHOVo" height="1" width="1"/>

So it's a T.J. Simers article about how boring baseball is?

 

Good lord, what a tool.

 

Oh, well at least it also has your standard media member mourning the loss of Torii Hunter's quotes bit.

[nate]

Simers...  Most of it is bullshit.  They didn't move the press box because Arte was mad at the press.  That is an asinine statement.

[Tyler]

Haha, what a horrible article.

[GoodTimesGoneBad]

Interesting read.

[Bombsauce]

Lame article. Does this guy even like baseball?

[The Dude]

I'm embarrassed to admit I read the whole thing. What a worthless article that was.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Love the article.   Many valid points.   

[Lhalo]

He got so angry at the media this past off-season for documenting his mistakes that he moved the press box, which sat next to his luxury suite behind home plate, down to the right-field foul pole.

 

Wow. That's the most ridiculous shit I've read in a while, and that includes what I've perused through in this forum. How can someone be paid to write such drivel?

And he only gets to that nonsense after 8 single sentence "paragraphs" about all the things he rather do than watch baseball.

[RallyMo]

Simers is great at what he tries to do: write purposely stupid tripe that gets people talking. He's inflammatory because it's a shtick that works for him. You guys have to know that he doesn't believe most of what he writes.

[RallyMo]

If anyone that is familiar with his work gets lured in by Simers, they have nobody but themself to blame. Don't be a sucker.

[CaliAngel]

Stopped reading after "miss Hunter's leadership..."

 

Yeah, that sure was some brilliant leadership the past 2 seasons: helping us make boneheaded outs on the basepaths while not making the playoffs...

[bdavis621]

TJ Simers is nothing but a POS.

[Brandon Wing]

So Torii Hunter wasn't an Angel last year? Interesting.

[IEAngelsfan]

Yeah boring indeed.  Now Simers knows how we feel when we read one of his articles.

[tomsred]

I knew this was coming, I was thinking about when Simers would chirp earlier today.  The guy is just an old fool.

 

Hey Simers, "I don't know why anyone reads a newspaper anymore."  It's more irrelevant than baseball.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Does it really matter who wins or loses one game?

 

No. Let's just stop keeping score, and give every player a participation trophy at the end of the season.

 

God, this guy is a tool.

[Chuck]

Bump.

Bingo.  Every team has one local inkjock to incite furor.  Galloway, etc.

[Angelsjunky]

I thought it was pretty good. It reinforces my growing fear that the Angels aren't run by a combination of head and heart, but all head. I'm worried that this is a team that won't be able to develop the chemistry needed to win it all.

[Tyler]

Curious on the bump.

[FabulousFabregas]

Crap article.  It doesn't even seem like he follows the team.

He's like Ann Coulter, but with a smaller penis.
