End...of...the...World

[fan_since79]

The Sun does not have enough mass to explode as a supernova. Instead it will enter a red giant phase. The Sun is predicted to become a red giant in approximately 5.4 billion years. It is calculated that the Sun will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of the solar system's inner planets, possibly including Earth.

 

Before it even becomes a red giant, the luminosity of the sun will have nearly doubled and the Earth will be hotter than Venus is today. Once the core hydrogen is exhausted, the sun will expand into a subgiant phase and slowly double in size over about half a billion years. It will then expand more rapidly over about half a billion years until it is over two hundred times larger than today, and a couple of thousand times more luminous. This is the red giant branch (RGB) phase where the sun will spend around a billion years and lose around a third of its mass.

Scioscia will still be the Angels' manager.

Now THAT's depressing!

"Sure, it's getting really hot, but you just have to tip your cap to the sun. It's doing a hell of a job out there.

 

I was happy with our effort, but just gotta take it one planet at a time."

Scioscia will still be the Angels' manager.

And Pujols will still be making $25M per year.

LOL

I cannot see Scioscia with this team much longer unless Arte likes throwing millions of dollars down the drain.

He's under contract until both Trout and Hamilton are gone

"Jeppy turned me on to some really strong sunscreen, factor of 10 million. You can actually go out there for a few minutes at a time without getting incinerated."

[Sully151]

Big question- what will that do to the marine layer?

Isn't this what we call "Vernon Wells" syndrome?

[bdavis621]

I wish the world would end, then I wouldn't have to listen or watch this team ever again.

[Ohtaniland]

All of @ngelswin should go on bereavement until we can win three in a row.

[Mark68]

Wonder what it'll be like for Scioscia to be out there in his coat on a nice, hot 900 degree day?

You don't have to wait for the world to end to not watch or listen. Most TVs and radios have "off" settings, as well as other stations.

Gone, destroyed. The balls will be flying out of the atmosphere.

He'd probably still be fat.

This is an early candidate for post of the year. I busted up laughing.

As long as the seats are filled he'll keep making his investment back.

So close down  until 2016?

[bdavis621]

Can't this team just go bankrupt, it worked wonders for the Rangers.

[AZMike]

how long do you think it will be before the Angels hit .500 as a franchise (would require being 10 games over this season) ?

 

During spring training the consensus was early June.

It is surely the baseball post of the year.  I'm pretty sure there will not be anything close for maybe ever ....
