Angel fans, I will have the last laugh come this October because the only place your Angels are going this year is home the first weekend of October. Torii Hunter has never won a ring. Kendry Morales looks more like Chester from the old Gunsmoke TV show than a hitter to fear. Vernon Wells? ROFLMAO! Because the Angels front office totally botched signing Carl Crawford (who has over the past week said that he would have preferred to go to the Angels than to Boston), they hit the panic button and assumed THE worst contract in baseball.

I bet that there was one hell of a big party in Toronto when the Angels said yes to the Wells trade. Wells is a serviceable regular, but he’s no $22M/year ballplayer.. not by a long shot. The real issue though is that Wells boat anchor of a contract will be now tied around the Angels necks for the next four seasons.

We all know too that Scott Bor-as_s is going to take Weaver to either Boston or the Yankees via free agency too. Mark my words! Cheer up though Angel fans… you still (at least last I checked), have “5 tool can’t miss superstar guy” Brandon Wood! (bwahahahahaha!… Stone-less’ legacy!).

Because teams like the Yankees, Red Sox and Angels have simply thrown money around like it’s going out of style, many small and mid-market clubs are scared to death to offer their free agents arbitration and therefore totally get screwed over by the system and wind up with nothing to show in return for their star players.

That’s why I care, son. It’s not good for the game and it really unfairly tilts the playing field. Get a clue.

I can’t be a Dodger fan either, because I’m white and just wouldn’t fit in at Dodger Stadium any more.

I am still waiting for Mark Teixeira to put on that Boston jersey, dude. Get your facts straight.

I’m glad you have chosen to not being an Angel fan any more, purdoodooman. They don’t need your type at the games. With your lack of knowlege and uber-judgementally small mind, you’ll make an excellent Dodger fan.

Even though I hate the shady way that the Angels operated under former GM Bill Stone-less, I sure hope that this isn’t going to be career threatening to Kendrys. Such a senseless injury too!

The most untouchable of all Angel prospects was “5-tool, can’t miss” guy Brandon Wood. Stone-less EASILY cost the Angels at least one more world series appearance after 2002 because he wouldn’t part with Wood to fill other needs that would have surely put the Angels back in the World Series via trade.

Well, it’s now 2011 and “5-tool can’t miss guy” Wood is about as complete and total of a bust as any top rated prospect that has come along now in years. In fact, Wood is out of options and likely has played his way onto the waiver wire by the end of this month, hitting a sparkling .090 during spring training and playing the infield as if it were made of concrete and the balls in play are all superballs.

LOL on you Arte Moreno (Angel owner)!!! You not only paid Stone-less handsomely, but his ineptness cost you one or more trips back to the World Series as well!

I live close to Angels Stadium, but I stopped being an Angel fan due to the shady way that they signed Torii Hunter in free agency. At the time, the Angels already had a gold glove center fielder (Matthews Jr.), who had just finished his first year off of a big 5 year deal (at that time no one could have predicted his rapid decline), and the Angels hadn’t shown ANY interest in Hunter prior to the day that they signed him.

Why was the signing shady and unethical (albeit obviously legal)? Over and above not needing a center fielder, the Angels simply threw another million dollars a year and another guaranteed year onto the offers he had on the table at the time from both the Rangers and the White Sox and Hunter never gave either team he had been negotiating with for weeks prior to match or make a counter-offer.

Useless Angel GM Bill Stone-less pulled the exact same stunt a few years prior to that when he did the same thing to sign Bartolo Colon. It’s just shady and unethical as hell, but welcome to the dark side of professional sports.

I just laughed my butt off though when Boston then turned around and did the exact same thing to Angel owner Arte Moreno with Mark Texeira. Man was Moreno pissed off! Hey fella, what comes around SHOULD go around IMO and you got yours on that one and had it coming to you!!
