I think this might be the worst time to face the Dodgers. They pretty much have their backs to the wall, and must win. Or I should say Mattingly must win. They are in the situation the Angels were in a week or so ago. I still think we will take 3 of 4, But facing a cross town rival, in their thug neighborhood, when they are desperate, can be trouble. And if we take 3 of 4 or sweep, I think Mattingly is canned.

They are just bad, mkay. Although I do think the Angels should bring a 3 person booth to the announcing squad. I think when Gubi describes pitchers, he is pretty good, and gives good insight. But when it comes to hitters, he just knows what the pitcher should do and tries to reverse engineer a response. Putting a Salmon in the booth, who seems to like that area, to compliment Gubi and Rojas would be fun to hear. Especially if pitcher and hitter disagree on strategies.

that's not an obsure rule. It's actually pretty common knowledge that you can't use any kind of aide during a round. Once you tee off, your round is considered to have begun until postponement or completion.

It's odd that you put better food accomodations. Then follow it up with wanting Panda.

I think Angels stadium is suffering from the same handicaps that Dodger Stadium faced. For instance, the outfield area. It's a lot of dead space, because when they renovated it, they partially demolished and built on top of the old area. So the only usable area is pretty much on top. Nothing underneath, or inside. If you completely gut to the foundation the outfield, that's a lot of space that suddenly becomes available. From instance storage space for the groundscrew. To how about a built in restaurant in the RF wall? You go out a few hundred feet, and create a better kids zone. And how about having a bunch of food trucks in that outfield area behing LF and CF. There won't be much of a change to the looks on top, which is good. It's everything underneath and beyond that would change. Take the same approach the Doggies did for the field level. Dig down and expand. Expand the courtyard, so that it's multi level of space on each level as another phase in the rebuild. Then really, the last phase would be the redoing of the upper levels. Probably adding another level of box seats in the process. a multi year plan done in sections. With the end result a stadium that has the same looks, but way more modernized.

Could do similar to how St Louis did their new stadium. Build a section at a time, then go boom.

It took 10 years to approve the NFL stadium, and that was with $0 public money. Angels will be in the same position. No public money will be given by LA. And if that's the case, it only makes sense for the Angels to stay where they are, and cut a deal with the city so that they could use the 155 acres of prime property for free.

And we did it without firing Scioscia, Butcher, Dipoto, Moreno, trading any and all the players, and with a barren minor league system.

He said a million bucks, not a billion bucks.

Uninstalling the game seemed to work. That would have sku'd if I lost everything.

Before people gloss over this snippet, and suggests moves of grandeur to Long Beach, Los Angeles, and other parts:

Trying to uninstall the game and go back in.

Anyone else having this problem. Every time I log in, it's to an empty starter city.

It must have been like grad night, except adults doing the nasty everywhere.

Or just kidnap one of the 19 cats, and ransom it back for a million.

You need to add the wing. Then you will be a die hard fan.

Strange strange game.

You missed the contact play working, and Conger throwing out a runner.

That's just mean showing that BBQ.

Conger with another good throw.

Buckner is throwing angry now. He won't last if this continues.

Well, conger had the sign right.

Lol. PItchout, curveball.

Contact play. This is the bizarro game.

Conger would have thrown him out.
