Steve Phillips Makes My Head Hurt

you should try it sometime.

Between games of beer pong last night, I was thinking about what losing Casey really means to the organization. And I decided “something, but not as much as we think.”

Casey was not a sufficient hitter for first base. He was leaps and bounds better than Erstad, but that’s only because our expectations from first base production are probably lower than any other team. We’ve needed power at the corners for years, and Teixeira brings us power at first for the first time in a long time.

Kendry will provide roughly the same production as Casey. His defense will be worse, to be sure, but this Tex deal isn’t mortgaging the future. It’s mortgaging a modicum of defense for a couple months of the best available big bat. And while I know that I already miss #35, the fact remains that the organization has the depth to maintain a high level of play even with one of our former top prospects now with Atlanta.

And should we win it all this year, does any of that even matter?

I think I would punch him in the face if I ever saw him.

He basically crossed the line to bleeping ridiculous when he scalded the Reds for setting a bad example by playing Josh Hamilton last year. Then during the homerun derby he was jerking off all over the place talking about how wonderful he is.

douche bag.

We cost him hi GM job by pilfring Mo Vaughn for Appier from him.

HE IS AN IDIOT and the ANGELS exposed his stupidity for the world to see.

HE WILL NEVER GM AGAIN and it is because of the ANGELS.

Every time he sits down he can still feel the throbbing we gve him and his career.

When Mister Gray mentions the NAgels he is a spiteful liar, full of shi, still steaming, and kinda funny in a pathetic, drooling old dork way.

I could not believe what I was hearing. I got really motivated to go aon a research project that exposes his hypocrisy and idiocy in his own words.

Then I wised up. He is not worth the effort. If the Angels organization is not worth the ESPN’s effort to observe, to recognize, to report on, and to share with the rest of baseball fans right alongside their more favored teams, then their employees are not worth my effort to easily whatever authority they claim to possess.

he said we wont sign mark teixeira because then we wouldnt be able to re-sign vlad or frankie

really? Damn steve, we wont pay 15 million for frankie, shucks. Id bet my life hed trash us even if we DID re-sign frankie for it being too much for a reliever.

In his defense, they are told what to say by their producers. Kruk was quoted on the radio once after being questioned about a comment he made as just laughing and saying he says what he is told to say.

they want to piss you off. Making the angels sound dumb pumps the east coast teams’ egos and pisses us off and has us talking about it. Either way, we all watch

I was watching the game on the YES network last night, and even the Yankee announcers, the biggest jerks in broadcasting, were praising the Angels.

They talked about how good we were almost as much as they talked about the Yankees.

If YES, the Yankee Entertainment and Sports network, praises us then we know we are doing something right!

He said there was NO WAY the Red Sox make the playoffs without Manny. Is he on crack?? Jason Bay playing at 100% is better than Manny playing at 50%

I hate the Sox, but Manny was a cancerous turd that needed to be removed. I really think the Sox will be BETTER without him

He did however say that the Angels would have been better off keeping Kotchman because Teix will be gone after the year and I do actually agree with that.

I know you guys keep saying that Morales is just as good, but I just don’t see it. And as far as resigning Teix goes, no way thats happening. We need money to resign Vlad and Lackey. Lackey is going to command a BIG contract to lock him up for a long time.

You forgot to mention how Steve Phillips was also arrested for sunbathing nude on a public beach.
