Exhibit A as to why I’m happy for Trout to remain in CF.

Yep, the Boston fans can enjoy some easy wins.

Just zero leadership on this team. Zero accountability. It’s like an entire team of shitty Jim Edmondses, who was a great player that didn’t give a shit about losing.

Trout is a great great individual but he is not a leader.

I WANT SOMEONE TO BLAME. (No, seriously, I do. But it’s like I’d have to blame the whole team.)

trAdition. One or two shiny pieces along with a bunch of crap. I know I expect more because our payroll indicates we should be good. But this is getting dumb

Maybe if Duffy can make a simple damn throw to second we wouldn’t be having this conversation

Anyone attending the game tomorrow night needs to put a paper bag over their head.

I will be at tomorrow’s game, sec 104. I will be showing up late after a little league game.

Typically Anaslime will remove you if you try to wear a bag. Did that back in the 90s and nearly got thrown out

Okay it is time to trade Trout. Let him go to a team that knows how to win. We are doing him a big disservice by keeping him.

He is doing us a disservice by being paid $40 million to go weeks without sniffing a goddamn hit.

Yes he is part of the problem but it is time to get something for him that will help this team. A team cannot win handing out hundreds of millions of dollars to 3 or 4 players. You have to build an entire team not just parts of it.

I would like to believe that ditching Trout for 3-4 decent-to-good players would cure what ails us but frankly it would just be one fewer reason to care. Instead, I’ve embraced fatalism.

Do you trust this little league front office to make a good trade? I sure don’t.

I dunno, I only just learned to count on my fingers.

Ok, on further consideration, no, I do not. I’m sure there are actually significantly better qualified fantasy baseball players they should contract with.

I’m for trading him if it’s something that will help the Angels. I’m not for trading him if it’s “because he deserves to win”. He doesn’t deserve shit. He’s great at putting up big numbers when nothing matters.

I see your point. Yes, we have to get a lot in return for him.

A team that has bothTrout and Ohtani should not look this bad.

Ohtani looks at a fastball as it strikes him out. Not a good look Shohei.

Really the decade or so starting in 2002 was a very, very pleasurable period to be a Halos fan, playoffs notwithstanding. Just even every Vlad at-bat was a joy. Or Shields hold. Etc.

4 run lead going to the bottom of the 8th.. and still fucking lost

I say ballgame because it’s a systematic process with no emotion involved. It happens about 90% of the time.

You may tar and feather me. I’m here for it

Make the entire team ride a bus from Philly to Anaheim. Give them time to contemplate the suckage they have been involved in.

1992 bus accident was near Philly. Not a good idea.
