I'd make a positive comment about the mariners for the title, but seeing as they are about to dump their entire team to probably the fucking astros I have no positivity.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
This is a great decision, but sadly I think the new writers are equally retarded. I would hope that this would mean the guy the DH of the year award is named after could get in, but he still probably won't because reasons.

Angels have been busy this month filling in holes. More so than I expected after their GM quit at the beginning of the month, but they can now ditch all their left fielders they have used this season after getting Shane Victorino from the Red Sox, David Murphy from the Indians, and David DeJesus from the Rays without giving up any players that would have seen any MLB time with the Angels in the next couple years in the process. Not bad. Also bought Connor Gillaspie off the White Sox which has been a serviceable replacement for David Freese at 3B while Freese is on the DL.
But hey, I no longer have to see Matt Joyce in the lineup with his .178 average, so any of those three new outfielders to the team will be better than him. He has been a complete bust and I would rather they had kept Kevin Jepsen in the bullpen instead of trading him for Joyce during the offseason.
Hopefully Trout doesn't have to go on the DL. He is sitting out the game today to get an MRI on a sore left wrist that he landed on trying to catch a ball on Sunday.
Yeah I wonder if they'll get Kuma for magic beans, the mariners are done, another failed year to capitalize on the previous years success just like every other god damn year since 2001.

The whole season outside the first 10 games has pretty much been a low point. Because Ausmus sucks, mostly. Also the roster is pretty old, but whatever. Scapegoat the manager.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
At least your team has that. The mariners on paper have everything they need to be an above .500 club. They just aren't. When the hitters are on the pitchers suck, when the pitchers are going lights out the hitters fucking suck. And its not just the rookies or the vets, its the whole fucking team.
At least we'll get rid of Jack Z though that won't solve shit, they'll toss lloyd even though its not his damn fault, kuma will be gone as well anyone who's contract comes up this off season and they'll probably end up trading Felix to the red sox.

I see a lot of the 'scapegoat the manager' shit going on Angels pages too despite being within one game of the division leader, after holding said division lead for a little while. People still be like 'oh no, we are in a little slump, Mike Scioscia has to go!'. Of course now after trading for three aging outfielders people are all like 'WTF interim GM?'. I think at the worst we will still get a Wild Card spot but people like to freak out over every little thing even when we are still firmly in the division race.
I still think the Astros are going to wake up from their dream one of these days, so I feel like Angels fans are really jumping the gun if that's their opinion during a slump in late July.
But I suppose I understand insane fans well enough. After all, the frothing-at-the-mouth Jon Daniels-hating Nolan Ryan-worshiping Rangers contingent never fails to supply the DFW metroplex with a plethora of batshit crazy hot takes.
Preacher you'll be glad to know we got some sucker to actually give us something for Ackley. A couple AAA players.
Yeah I knew about this from one of the few mariner fans at work, we all got a chuckle he'll have to shave that awful beard of his. And I'm sure Ackley will go on to get a world series ring after hitting the game winning homer in game 7 over the st louis cardinals, but he would never do much of anything for the mariners.

Angels have lost 5 in a row. Wilson might be getting season ending surgery. But at least we have an excessive amount of 33+ year olds to platoon in left field!
Actually Wilson being out for the rest of the season isn't a major setback as pitching depth is one of the Angels strengths right now and Weaver is about to come back from the DL. But the offense needs a boost. Trout and Pujols can't do it all, every night. I would have rather they had gone after Cespedes instead of Murphy, Victorino, and DeJesus.
Okay, enough with this losing streak. Swept by the Astros and the Dodgers, okay. But tonight they start a series against the Indians. There is zero excuse to lose a series against the Indians.
I think Ventura starts running out there, and about 4 steps in realizes that it's a terrible mistake, but can't back down.
And then he gets punched in the face like 7 times by a man 20 years his senior.
Yeah, it's like he gets out there, is like "wait I don't actually know what I'm doing. I'll just gab onto him and we'll get pulled apart soon." and Ryan is like, "Nope!" and gets him in the headlock and starts mashing him.
