Shohei Ohtani Signs with the Angels

On the bright side my erection from the Olney comment is now gone and I can leave my desk.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

this is hilarious. the angels are like the one team out of the seven that none of the baseball media boobs took seriously.

Welp guess the only one who benefits from this in Chicago is the company that supplies Theo with office furniture.

[ConstableRabbit]

this guy really is weird as hell

 

In retrospect, we really overlooked the "Japanese weirdos love Disneyland" angle.

Travel time from Angel Stadium to Disneyland to Disneyland Tokyo was a major factor.

Player rejects the Cardinals: You don't deserve to play in this city, you are a moron and not a true winner

 

Player rejects the Cubs: Hmm...weird but ok

I can't find anything about this anywhere else.

 

How are you able to navigate to this website and yet can't find anything on Ohtani signing?

 

I went to ESPN's baseball home page and the Angel's team page and they had nothing. I don't use twitter. I would have thought that the Angels would have something pre written for when they signed him.

This site isn't exactly representative of all Cubs fandom.

Well, I guess that's the last we'll hear of him.

 

I live 25 miles from Angels Stadium and sometimes forget Mike Trout exists.

Neither ESPN or the Angles thought this was possible so nothing was prepped.

Twitter has been extremely rational from what I've seen. No doubt there are some idiot Cub fans probably throwing a tirade though

[Proven Veteran]

That's exactly my thought. Trout is putting up a top five all time career and you rarely hear about him.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

seattle gonna have to get real creative with that international money now

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Now the Mariners have tons of IFA money and Dee Gordon playing out of position!

it's kinda cool, trout finally has a sidekick

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm less than 10 and I tried but Trout just isn't the exciting type of awesome player. I took my nephews and I was trying to explain to two six-year-olds why it's cool that they get to see the best baseball player in the world (give or take) stand in CF all game and go 1-for-4 with a walk.

 

I'll probably try to make an Ohtani start if things don't get too crazy.

That is a very 2005 way to look for breaking news

[Bertz]

Disappointing, but this is probably the best case scenario if he wasn't going to choose us. He stays out of the NL and raises the odds that we as baseball fans get to see see Mike Trout in meaningful games while in his prime.

horsefeathers it, go sign Darvish

[biittner77]

 

 

He's already misusing "humbled".

[UMFan83]

So are they just going to put Pujols back at 1B full time, make him a very expensive bench player or just eat the rest of his contract and cut him?

horsefeathers, now I'm suddenly remembering that Lester is the baseball equivalent of 58 years-old. Sign some Cobb or Darvish to soothe my shattered nerves, stat.

Find it hard to see how he hits every day with old man Pujols being a DH only and their OF being Upton, Trout and Calhoun.
