T.G.

Book

It will be a year next Thursday. Still can't believe he's gone.

Tropical

Badlands

Azusa Pacific

Leopard

Calzone

I don't think anyone would bet against that.

He won a Silver Slugger award for the year prior to that... so last year wasn't a surprise. This year is.

That's overthinking. He's not Mike Trout. He's overthinking what Trout might think about this.

I don't know that "media pressure" is a real thing. It took Boston years before it started winning and their media can be brutal. And please explain what "holding the team accountable" actually looks like. I'm not being a smart ass, I'm curious as to what you think that means.

Jeff Mathis....

Hey @Dtwncbad, you started this thread... you want something to do other than talk about the Trout injury? Have at it. The word is "frontier."

Welcome to AW.

I'm fine with the way the media handles things in So. Cal. I would argue we have our priorities straight over places like NY. Reading tons of stuff about how bad the Angels and Arte Moreno are doesn't appeal to me in the least. I know they suck. I don't need to see why from a million different angles. I have better things to do with my time.

There are multiple topics being discussed here.

That's a good discussion. Trout is the best consistently great player (pre-injury), I've ever seen from an all-around perspective. The thing about Pujols is that he absolutely dominated baseball for periods of time. I've seen some great ones... Alex Rodriguez (pre-roids), Barry Bonds (you know...), Junior, Rickey Henderson (under-rated), etc. I also caught the tail end of Robert Clemente's career, Frank Robinson, Jeff Mathis and others. AW is talking about Trout not because they don't have "anything better to talk about." There are plenty of topics being discussed, this just happens to be one of them.

Frontier

^^^ This ^^^^

I'd rather see Kate Beckinsale... never mind.

Do you think Perry will be back?

Said five year old, Taylor.

It's more weird that you noticed.
