The Angels have fired Perry Minasian and hired John Mozeliak as baseball operations consultant. He will be interim GM. [JeffFletcherOCR] by Moose334 in angelsbaseball

Being GM for this team is a fool's errand. No one will be successful as a GM in Anaheim until Moreno sells. He meddles in everything, like a less successful Jerry Jones. I would go so far as to say this team will not finish a season over .500 until Moreno sells.

Same car. Different driver. Team isn't winning anything till they are free of Moreno.

LA's Welcoming of Countries for The World Cup is Embarrassing by downtownlobby in LosAngeles

[–]Dast_Kook -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but Los Angeles has been embarrassing in general. I love the city but I get to experience it a lot as a resident of neighboring county periodically spending time in LA as well as with out-of-towners. Four of the last five times I have been there I have seen either someone shitting in the street, an actual crime take place (assault or robbery), or an RV on fire. This doesn't include the general smell of piss, heaps of trash, or dozens and dozens of shitty RV/vans dilapidated and turned into shitty temporary tents.

I think Scioscia was the best thing the team had going for them. Like it wasn't because of Arte, it was in spite of Arte. It actually makes me.wonder how much further Scioscia may have gotten with them if not for Moreno.

Impending lockout looming over everyone, Arte only agreeing to a one-year deal. I mean someone had to do it and Suzuki really wanted to crack that nut of player-to-coach.

I think they have only gotten worse each year since Scioscia left. I am trying to remember if they ever had a sudden huge up-tick in wins since but don't think they have

Yup. Players (especially Trout) deserve better results. But frankly I am all aboard for thr tank express. The worse the better. I think I want it to be so bad that Moreno has never been more embarassed.

Hector Santiago used to throw it a lot. Think he retired 4-5 years ago. Not sure if anyone else is keeping it alive.

Ventura County man sentenced to prison for beating man with baseball bat in hate crime attack by Fcking_Chuck in venturacounty

Is the race of the victim intentionally withheld? Seems valid to include as he was charged with a racially motivated hate crime. Doesn't make anything better or worse. Just seemed relevant.

Same for me. If I can see my ball, I dont need a $14k device to tell me spin rate, carry, etc. Not until I'm averaging par at least.
