LA Angels Monday News Crash:

This could actually be a perfect time for a strike for me.

The team blows. Neto, Adell, Soriano etc should be traded to rebuild but we won’t cause they are “young and controlled” ignoring the fact that you need that WHEN YOU ARE COMPETATIVE and it means almost nothing when you suck. They will all be a year older. Maybe it will be a little easier to see them as trade assets after the strike.

Nothing is being built in the Heim. No Team. No Farm. No stadium. No giant TV deal. The only thing to hold out for is that at some point within the next few years there may be some expansion payment coming. Arte will be a year older after the strike. Maybe it’s time to cash in those chips. What business could possibly be left to do?

On the flip side, Arte has got to be one of the most anti-Doyers buy a post season guys out there. He’s got to hate FAs, he’s pissed away about a billion dollars on injured free agents. Having him around for the strike, I’m down.

The Angels suck more dick than the state prison system. I want a salary cap. And a salary floor. Hell, I want things to get so bad that the govt steps in and MLB teams have to show us their books. I want the stink. I am hungry for the stink. And I am not currently rooting for a team that will lose golden opportunity seasons while the stink happens. Our farm is even set up to be hurt least by a lost development year. Let the dramatic statements about fairness and fair shares amongst very rich people begin and drag on forever! Just make it actually change stuff for the better in the end.

We will never catch the NFL in America. The NFL is set up for fans to actually enjoy the sport in all but a few markets every year and even a hapless team like the Saints can be right back in it quickly. Their popularity isn’t a worry for us.

The NBA? They were growing like crazy. Not any more. Hell, Andrew Silver just came out and said “If you’re too poor to watch games on multiple streaming services you can always catch the highlights from games on the freeweb.”. Not sure the NBA is gonna replace baseball, even if it goes away for a whole year.

If it does, good. The owners and MLBPA need a good punch in the nuts. Much like the Angels org and fans, they all need some real pain in order to get their shit together and avoid decades of ache.

I get a CBA with a salary cap, salary floor, Arte puts the team up for sale and it can’t really hurt my devastated team much more than it is already hurt? Hell, sign me up for this long strike. I’m ready. I have hockey to turn to after the NFL season. Plus combat sports. Plus I have social skills and artistic stuff to fall back on. Let’s do this MLB owners. Be strong lionesses on your journey to the true north and guiding star of handwaggle balance and blessed vibes prosperity.
