I fear defense is going to be a year-long issue for this squad. So, getting Smart and Vando playing substantial minutes will be critical.

100% agree with what you're selling. My primary concern with this lineup is wear and tear on Smart, but his defense would be much needed.

Beautiful shot. Wonderful, epic storytelling contained in a single image.

Al Pacino

This is awesome. Congratulations.

I am so sorry for your loss Allie. It sounds like she lived life to its fullest and left an indelible mark on all whom she touched. Cheers Grannie Vel.

Makes sense. As Angel fans, what do we know about the Playoffs?

-- Spoken out of love for our team even though it appears we will be left out of the Playoffs for the foreseeable future.

Well, considering how high the odds were of him having a heart attack while ascending those stairs certainly could lead one to believe that it was an assassination attempt.

Laker fans are spoiled in a number of ways, but I think an underrated way we are spoiled is with how many incredibly talented people cover the team. Truly, an embarrassment of riches.

Was that the year of the Kendrys walk-off that derailed his blooming career? Of course, his injury then led to us trading for Texeira and then losing Texeira, but eventually getting Mikey as our compensation draft pick. What a winding road.

Must have been during the Smush Parker era.

I wish the media actually covered him objectively and without fear of reprisal. The truth of how awful he is, both as a President and as a human being, is so bad that we cannot even fathom it. We get but a small sliver of the truth due to how kind the media is to him.

Facts are of no concern to MAGA. It doesn't matter if it is a criminal investigation, scientific research, economic data, weather information, etc., they have their feelings and prejudices and the talking heads on Fox/Newsmax spout out lies to support those feelings. Facts be damned.

Their chemistry was off the hook.

Just finished my re-watch of season 2 last night. Brilliant show.

I got to live in Seattle for a few years and I loved going to that ballpark. The M's fans were always quite classy with their jeers as I walked around in my classic 1980's era Angels jersey.

100% This. Where are the real journalists who want to expose falsehoods and afflict the powerful?

I thought Arte did not have any kids? I know Blum has discussed the lack of a succession plan if he does not sell the team, so maybe I just assumed he was childless.

Adames is 30; Lindor is 31; Story is 32; and Swanson is 31.

Neto is a baby at 24. Future is so incredibly bright for him.

Feel better Neha.

Love this movie. Ah, the days when journalists actually tenaciously pursued stories and questioned the powerful.

We can say/joke it is just another Monday for Trump, but in reality, the journalists covering this President need to step up and dig in on him. They ought to light this guy up with questions. They need to be dogged in their determination to bring the truth to light, not cowering in fear of him.

What about Squiggy?
