How awesome would it be if Trout homers? Cabrera goes 4-5 and follows that with a cycle.

Cabrera doesn't deserve it. He's an alcoholic. Our Trout is clean as a whistle.

and he had the audacity to smile?

Had never seen that pic before.

Of course it'd be Napoli that would be the last out to end the Angels season.

Hope Oakland sweeps Texas, they lose in the wild card game.

IT WAS??? The gift that keeps on giving.

even if Texas wins the division they're cooked in the 1st round (unless they face Yankees). Texas bullpen is weak as hell and I dont trust their starters either. If they run into a series with any of the other Al teams than Yankees they're going home. Joe Nathan has an ERA of 7.9 in the postseason

This, but I don't think so...Texas will win the next two now that we're out.

CJ having elbow surgery.

That's what I heard. I don't know how'd you pitch with them, if its even possible.

Well got raped again. Oh well let the heads roll

Only good thing to come out of the season is if Trout gets MVP

Nothing's going to happen.

To say nothing is going to happen is very bold. In sports, its very rare where money brings together a very good team, it fails, and nothing happens after that.

I think there is a very good chance there could be a coaching change. That will depend on player exit interviews and what is said to the GM/Owner. I know MS is a good coach, but when your in a place for 10+ years, the voice of the coach could start to fade away and not have an impact like it used to.

Lineup wise, there's not many holes to fill. Third base is pretty weak so you could see an upgrade there. At catcher, Ianetta is good option but i'm not sure if he's brought back with his club option, could definitely upgrade there. The outfield is solid, pretty hard to see Hunter not being brought back for one more year. Trumbo will get better and Trout will be Trout.

Starting rotation is good. Weaver/Wilson/Haren all 10+ game winners. Santana is probably gone and my Dodgers might throw a lot of cash Greinke's way so not sure if he'll be back (bidding war between the two LA teams for sure though). Plenty of arms out there that are solid 4 and 5 guys, not sure who else you have that's ready to come up in your system besides Enright and Shoemaker so free agency will solve that end of rotation issue.

The bullpen is the biggest issue, which is not any ground breaking revelation on my part. That will need to be upgraded and its very hard to see it not being #1 priority this off-season.

His voice isn't fading. There are only a couple of players that have been here 4+ years. The issue is his inability to adjust to the players we have now. He's using the same philosophy that he used when he first arrived. He no longer has the players to play that type of ball. Until he figures that out the Angels won't succeed, which is why I want him gone.

Dipoto is Scioscia's worst nightmare. He's part of this new wave of baseball minds that use sabermetrics. He isn't going to provide Scioscia with slap hitting midgets.

Heads won't roll. dipoto has said the coaching staff will be back next year. Moreno has said sosh would be back.

I've never said no changes would be made. Changes are always made.
