I've never understood that bullshit

I don’t care if my team is close to get the top pick or what, I am a fan for one reason: to see my favorite team win. Whether they’ve won or lost 100 I am still watching for a victory and this sort of attitude of hoping for a loss in order to get the best pick is mind boggling to me…

I've no doubt they're superstar talents.

I’m just saying if you look through the history of the draft there’s going to be players picked up in the billionth round.

Take for example Smoak coming out of high school. What round did we pick him in? I know he was committed to college, but if we threw an extra $1m on the table (which is peanuts for a MLB team) we get a quality hitting prospect in the 90th round or whatever it was.

Tanking the season to get 1 player, with the ridiculous flame out rate of the minors, just seems suicidal to me.

Now that you’re getting texts from Vince Cotroneo, can you text him back
and tell him that “Boom Boom Bailey” is a terrible nickname for Andrew

Elliott was also the original slegnA turncoat

After being fired by Charlie Finley, he joined up with the new expasion team in LA. Yes, Bob Elliot was a coach with the 1961 LA Angels.

IIRC, one time Bob Elliot held a meeting at 7pm during spring training.

Once the men got to the park and assembled, he said

“Gentlemen, I just wanted to see how quickly if we could assemble if we had to”

and then dismissed the meeting.

B) If you’re recalling that, does that mean you were a member of the 1961 Angels? How did you come by that story?

I just don’t remember which one that story was from or who told it.

Or maybe it was Mel McGaha…

I used to have nightmares about dying behind the wheel

and panic attacks whenever I drove.

I’m okay with motorcycles and scooters, though. I just can’t pass the driving test. They make you drive really slow in a small circle without putting your foot down and I can’t do it without putting my foot down.

Anyway, I live near public transportation and shops and within walking distance of most of my family, so I don’t really need to drive.
