  1. Liked early Vlad. But towards the end of his Angels career, he really became a shell of himself. And it was getting more and more painful to watch him bat or even field. Definitely worth the contract. But I agree on why we didn't ask him back. HOF. He doesn't have the 3000 hits or the 500 HR's. But over 16 years, a .318/.931 slash line is HOF worthy. And he'll probably be the last Expo to go in the hall.
  2. I like him. And I'm fine with his moves. Seguras minor league numbers weren't very impressive. So trading him for a chance at Greinke was ok. Letting go of the pretender I'm fine with. Morales for Vargas I'm fine with. Bad luck that Vargas has a blood clot. But the AW.com geneuses probably saw that coming. Hanson for Walden I'm fine with. Not Dipoto's fault that he killed Hanson's brother. Frieri for Amarista I'm good with. Frieri is still young, and will become better. Madson to a one year deal. It was a risk vs reward move. And it was a good chance to take. Trading Geltz for De La Rosa. Didn't like it at the time, but De La Rosa is coming into his own. Declining Santana's option. Liked it. He is in a totally different environment now with a lot less pressure in a contract year. I'll laugh if a big team signs him to a big contract. Declining Haren's option. Didn't like it, but proved to be the right move. Trading Wells and not eating the entire contract. Don't even need to comment on that. Hamilton. I thought it was a good signing, although a bit rich and long. But didn't think that Hamilton would do so poorly. Pujols. Didn't like the signing, and not sure if this was more Moreno marketing or Dipoto. Blanton. Was an egg.
  3. That's too bad, because you could really tie in this movie to Godzilla and it would make perfect movie sense.
  4. Silver Lining. The thing I've noticed is he's good, until that one mistake. Then it's like he's playing like someone's looking over his shoulder for the rest of the game. We all know who that someone is. Kind of a like a pitcher trying to guide a strike, instead of pitching.
  5. George Zimmerman Prosecutor 'Prayed' for Him to Testify It gets more and more obvious why Zimmerman won.
  6. To me, I look at the second place wild card team. That would be Texas at 54-41. So they have 67 games left. Even if they tumble. They will have at least a .500 winning percentage. So about 34-33. That means 88 games would be the worst case scenario IMO. And I don't think 88 does it, but I'm thinking worse case. Angels are 44-49. 69 games left. To get to 88 games, they have to go 44-25, a 0.637 winning percentage. Angels have done this before. But I'm not hopefully with what i've seen so far.
  7. Is flashing your car’s headlights protected by the First Amendment? Hope he wins.
  8. They have the potential to do much better. Health will have a big factor in it. Burnett in the pen was a big loss. Starter wise, I have hopes for Hanson, and hopefully he is past his personal issues and has his head on straight. That will be a big plus if he is. And if Hamilton will show just a bit more streak, the offense should be fine. While I don't think we will win the WC or the Division. I think we will be able to close the gap quite a bit.
  9. Isn't Cracker a fairly racist term? Like calling someone a Slant or a Nig...Near.
  10. Why this verdict? Five things that led to Zimmerman's acquittal
  11. Looks like someone is going to get traded or released.
  12. Yeah, that's the one thing I hate about the online version. That was a good chart.
  13. Baron Davis heard of Downings Vegas trips and wanted to one up him.
  14. With Trumbo not in it. I don't really care.
  15. He died. He's Black. And Zimmerman killed him. That's all they need.
  16. I see at least 6 helicopters in the air right now from my place. 1 Newshelicopter is hovering close, with one police helicopter close by. And like 4 helicopters way off in the distance towards the Crenshaw/Exposition area.
  17. I'll give her a pass. First she at least manned up and pitched from the rubber. And second, she's Canadian. So she was probably confused with the whole throw thing.
  18. This was an interesting movie. Of the three that went to go see it, one of us didn't like it. I first thought it would be a Transformers meets battleship movie. But it was more of a Godzilla meets Real Steel type movie. Being Japanese, riking Godzira is in my DNA. I think for those that like those Godzilla/Monster movies, you would like this movie. But it's definitely not for everyone. This movie will probably do better overseas in Asia. And it has the possibility to be a prequel to a Godzilla movie if they wanted to go in that direction.
  19. We will win. Just don't know who we is anymore.
  20. He can't do anything easily can he.
  21. There are plenty of unbiased people on AW.com, you just don't listen to them. Where is the sarcasm button.
  22. Do the same rules in the All Star Game, apply to the Futures game? That one member of each team must be represented?
