He never had it so good so I expect you're right.

Think he's finally realized that.

He and the Angels will die a slow miserable death together.

I was here earlier....or I am missing the joke?

At some point Moreno will have to fire Dipoto. Shocked that Dipoto and Sosh still have their jobs after the last two season.

As long as Arte is calling the shots and want to sign all the big free agents to big money then I really don't think any GM will really help. Moreno while admirable in willing to do whatever it takes to spend and put a winning team out there, it's not the right approach and formula.

Especially after last year's performance. I'm betting he deep down inside he wishes he could be part of the rangers again.

No question Josh regretted the signing the moment he signed the contract. It was icing on the cake when he came back to Arlington...I think he really felt it then and wish he was still a Ranger.

A top prospect and Bourjos for Freese, somehow I missed the prospect part of that deal.


Well done Angels, keep it up

No joke . Kinda slow night.

no question Moreno puts excessive pressure on his gm. Moreno, basically threatened dipoto with his job if he didn't reply to the rangers signing of Beltre. This pressure is what lead to the awful Vernon Wells deal.

Angels keep trying to do things the Old Rangers way. Build your team on offense and hope you outscore everybody. It is going to be something to watch as they pay $20 something mill a year for Pujols while he is at home watching games on TV.

I don't think Josh has the same passion for winning that most athletes have. He got his money. That's what him and his wife cared about most. I'm sure a few more years of losing would take it's toll on him, but right now I think he just doesn't care.

Angels plan on sticking with Frieri as closer and not pursue Nathan or Balfour according to MLB Trade Rumors.

And who called that? Answer, every single rangers fan. Boy were the angels talking shit after all those flashy signings, and where had it gotten them?

 

[Justinkm83]

were you Jeremy over at ESPN?

No, I was Justinkm19

Well that's the second best news I've heard all day.

The A ngels are looking at some miserable years ahead that they can't do any thing about. Thanks Josh thanks AL.

Josh really isn't that complicated. Keep him happy and he's a monster. I don't know if we'll ever really know the lengths Texas went to in order to keep him happy and make him feel loved.
