Arte Moreno really needs to sell the Angels.

Seattle gave up 3 players and a comp pick for Brendan Donovan?

Day 1 of band announcements for Warped Tour and we’ve already got Jimmy Eat World and New Found Glory for my show in Orlando. Keep em coming

Being assigned to multiple projects, then being told I can't look to complete one because it's low priority, even though the other ones are either scheduled for completion, or not close to moving forward, is just so bizarre to me.

I'm nervous that all these flyer deals on relievers means Arte is back on his bullshit and pushing to bring in someone like Bregman or Arenado instead of running back to Moncada and tightening up the rotation with a high-end SP.

You saved money restructuring Rendon, use it!

So far the Saints worthless like usual

And now I have to root for the Aints tomorrow… shouldn’t be dependent on this after starting 6-2.

Bucs last chance to avoid epic collapse today.

Up early and the theater for Stranger Things finale this morning. They sent us to auditorium 11. Perfection

Of course we would lose power on the early morning that the outage reporting system is undergoing maintenance…

Don’t even know if the outage map on the website can be trusted until I sit thru this long ass wait to speak to someone

This is an absolutely unhinged football game

This could get interesting if the Cardinals are willing to eat some of the Arenado contract in a trade.

Golden Knights v Ducks is 2-2 9 mins into the game. This may be a very entertaining game.

OTOH… 4 goals on 8 shots is woof

Fresh out of Wicked 2 and my hot take is if you’re going to a movie theater to have a conversation, you should really go to dinner instead.

Can’t wait to see it again without people yapping for half the movie.

The middle aged dad brigade went and had ourselves a weekend. For my money these 2 pictured were the best sets of the weekend.

Honorable mentions to:
Gym Class Heroes
Mayday Parade
We the Kings (for the 5 mins we saw after showing up late on day 2🤣)
Plain White T’s
Scene Queen

Even Soriano can probably get to another level

They could also look to flip Ward with one of their young pieces to get pitching.

Very young rotation here. Will be interesting to see how much impact Mike Maddux is able to have. If his message resonates, they could be set up fairly well long term

Literally had my ass planted right here in front of the sound booth since I got here. Seen We The Kings, RJA, Bowling for Soup, and now Mayday Parade.

The vibes are immaculate 🤘🏻

First 2 sets of the day 🤘🏻

It might be a slight bit early, but my daughter is home for the weekend. So dammit this is happening.

Didn't their governor promise to "100% tariff" anyone moving from NYC to Texas?

Election outcomes tonight are renewing my hope

Now bring Kenley back and go get Zac Gallen.

Why is Kurt Suzuki still calling the collection of major league baseball players he is meant to lead "the kids"? And why has nobody on the Angels told him he should maybe not do that?

Ron Washington did this, but he is 73. And he has been in baseball longer than most of the current Angels have been on Earth. Kurt Suzuki played with or against at least half the dudes on the Angels roster and holy moly it seems disrespectful IMO

I'm personally not a big fan of the Kurt Suzuki hire. But honestly, on my list of things to dislike about it, I really didn't like him calling the players "kids" for that whole press conference. It sets a tone that they aren't, and won't be, ready to compete next season.

The audio on this Kurt Suzuki press conference is buns. But signing a new manager to a 1 year deal when you have had as much managerial turnover as the Angels recently is fucking nuts and a real indicator that Arte prob didn't want it and there will most likely also be a new GM/manager next winter.

I feel like this question is primed for a guy like @jaysonst.bsky.social
