   Anyone else sick of the nicknames?

   ''Trum is definitely finding his comfort level in the box,'' Angels' manager Mike Scioscia said. ''It's good to see from some guys. Trum, Mike and Howie got in the act today and we needed every one of them.'' Okay, I know we won and everything, but I cringe every time I hear these silly nicknames. What's wrong with just calling him Mark?

   Trying to think logically here. It would not have to be a full rebuild, but more of a quick 1-2 year retool. You could deal Howie, Aybar, Callaspo, Iannetta, Trumbo and Vargas, Frieri, CJ... That would net some serious prospect power close to MLB ready. You have Lindsey, Stamets, Romine, Harris, Jimenez, Yarbrough that could help in the infield at some point. Would it be so far fetched?

    Last year Angel Duck predicted that Scioscia would be fired or resigned by All Star break. I discounted his hatred as dilusional. However, with how bad things are looking the guy just might end up being right. Personally I do not think Scioscia is to blame for this fiasco. The team's bull pen still sucks, the starting pitching sucks and our depth sucks. I don't think anyone would seriously do a better job. Yes, I know Scioscia haters will flame on this comment. However, that being said, you can't fire 25 guys. The manager is usually the guy who is sacrificed. And for the Angels, things can not really get much worse. they have hit rock bottom. I don't t…

    Teams Worse Than the Angels

    The Astros and Marlins. That's it. Now let's take a look at their respective payrolls: Astros: $26.1 million Marlins: $50.5 million Angels: $137.2 million While we're at it: Athletics: $62 million There's no getting around the fact that this team was poorly constructed, and is poorly run. Here's a scary thought: In 2016 the Angels will be paying Hamilton, Pujols and Wilson $75 million - more than half the current payroll and, I would imagine, somewhere close to half what it will be 2016. Throw in Weaver and you've got $95 million committed to four players in their mid-30s - more than the payrolls of two-thirds of the teams in the major leagues. …
