   Franchise History with months as bad or worse than this April

   I counted 19 years in franchise history where we recorded a month as bad or worse than this April. In those 19 years there were only 2 that we finished over .500, and in NONE of them, did we make the playoffs. I wish I didn't look.

   Arte's Marketing Genius 1 2

   The coaching staff should have been replaced, en mass, the day Dipoto took the GM job. If JD had been given "THE" GM job, and Arte had been the hands off owner that so many here mistakenly think he is, he would have shipped Scioscia and company out within hours. The FACT is that Arte runs the team. Pujols and Hamilton would have been somewhere else if not for Arte Moreno and his "marketing" He felt needed to compete with the marketing of the "Real" LA team. Arte has never figured out that his team lies between LA and SD. He lives in freakin Arizona, bought a team in Socal, and has no clue. Scioscia, ex-Dodger, with a familiar name... give him a 10 year. That's the…

   Our saves at the end of April we are 3/8. Texas is 9/9. Hitting is meaningless without pitching. We are tied with Texas in batting average.

   Angels traded for Fieri on May 2nd last year. Who will it be this year?

   May 1, 2013 by The Ghost of Bob Starr

   Jerry identified a massive problem in the pen last year and went out and got Frieri on May 2nd. Things started turning around (yes most of it was the hitting, which has nothing to do with pitching.) So after the worst start in franchise history, who is Jerry going after, and who is going away? The way this season is going, I forsee Lucho going to a team for a middle reliever that won't be as good as Ernesto. And for those who say Madsen's arrival is the equivalent of a trade... I'm not feeling it.

    Lifeless and apathetic. Just going through the motions. If it isn't obvious over the last 3+ years that nothing will change until he is gone then I don't know what would convince you. He had a great run but should have been gone two seasons ago.

    is that every loss brings us 1 game closer to hitting bottom and making the necessary changes to move forward. Whether that's firing Butcher and/or Scioscia and/or Dipoto and/or Arte finally getting the point that mortgaging the future and signing the biggest FA year after year is not a good way to run a successful organization,

    There's Trout and Weaver of course, along with Trumbo, Bourjos and Aybar and maybe Kendrick (needing to make the routine plays more often). But otherwise, who can we look forward to seeing being solid at the MLB level for the next several years? We don't know what Wilson will do anymore. We don't know what Pujols will do going forward. We don't know what Hamilton will ever do again going forward, since his metrics are declining. We don't know if Madson will ever pitch again, at this rate. We don't know if there will ever be a solid foreign presence again. The pitching in this org, sans Weaver and maybe Frieri, is a mess. And one thing needs to be sai…

    1. With Trout at leadoff, teams will not be able to walk Trout like they walk Albert due to the threat of a stolen base 2. With Trout on base, he should be stealing a lot on all the offspeed stuff Hamilton gets 3. We have yet to see it, but supposedly Hamilton can hit. If Trout returns to being a weapon on the bases, pitchers will rush their deliveries and maybe hang a breaking ball to Hamilton (hopefully he is able to hit that much) 4. Break up the righties 1. Trout CF 2. Hamilton RF 3. Pujols DH 4. Trumbo LF 5. Kendrick 2b 6. Aybar SS 7. Iannetta C 8. Harris 3b 9. Lucho 1b
