LA Angels Monday News Crash: Torii

It’s almost like he can’t come out and say “We’re pretty fcked. Still suffering the long term effects of chasing the Pujols/Trout window, then chasing Ohtani. I wish they hadn’t given Trout this huge contract, now I have to play with two DHs, a RF and a left fielder. We have no solid TV deal and some dead junky’s wife is suing for half the value of the team, so I have no idea what the payroll will be. Not that it matters because the FA options at CF/3B where I need guys suck and cost a lot. I’m being forced to hire a pile of memberberries for a manager. Other than a few pitching prospects we have no farm. I drafted pitching and hoped to trade at the deadline for position prospects, that got screwed and I had to come out and say some bullshit about competing late into a season because Arte and CtPG Guy wanted to go for it. All that aside the future looks bright, as long as you consider 75 wins good. I took this job knowing that the rest of the MLB knows that if I can work for this owner and fanbase for a few years and not drink myself to death I will succeed anywhere else. I’m gonna go down a six pack of beer and eat an entire large pizza now. Fck you Sam.”

It’s like I always say. If you have been watching baseball for longer than six months and you’re still getting mad when the GMPOBOEIEIO of your team doesn’t come out and say anything of substance YOU are likely the idiot cause that’s his job. Poop out the fluff. Even when they say some sort “We have to do better. Standards. Starts at the top. Me is bad.” it’s just accountability flavored fluff. If they say that stuff and it makes you happy, again, you’re an idiot.

Can you imagine if Nick Krall, who is a POBO and is thus supposed to be able to handle the owners and speak truth to power with his unicorn magic, was actually able to speak his mind about NOT trading for Eugenio Suarez after the Reds offense wimped out against the Doyers? It’s very likely the Castellinis just didn’t want to pay Suarez for 2 months and give up too many cheap kids.

It’s time to reload and get a new GM so we can whine about the same shit with a different guy. My only hope is that they hire a super old GM. A guy who isn’t looking to protect an extended career. Maybe he’ll go all “crazy old man” and give us some sound bites that make me feel potent while nothing much changed because the C Suite is still the same garbage.
