"That Trout kid is a young and Humble. We expect to lose him at years end but still have the young guys coming up that can handle the load"

Huh???

Hamilton as we expect to lose him at years end I hope he goes to the hated Dodgers with the same 10 year deal your angles signed albert with. Trout kid is great sure wish he was a ranger angels need to focus on the young players or they will not be able to compete with tx

No. I've seen and heard nothing at all in any of his interviews to get "sick of his schtick" and, in fact, haven't HEARD or SEEN any "schtick," unless you mean his great sense of humor, a dry sense of humor.

And there is nothing wrong with having a sense of humor.

Maybe you just had a problem in "Rangers Nation."

I can't figure out what it is about CJ's personality that irritates Rangers fans so much.

"have you begun to get tired of the schtick he brings"

He's a Southern California boy - we get him. . . .

"I can't figure out what it is about CJ's personality that irritates Rangers fans so much."

He doesn't drive a pick-up truck with a rifle in the cab and a "Don't Mess with Texas" license plate frame.

At least that explains it.

I think.

Texas boys are arrogant for no reason California boys are arrogant and can back it up.

^^ What you said! :)

Well, aside from tweeting out Napoli's phone number to the public (which isn't cool)....it's probably all the weird and "stupid" stuff he said in interviews when he was a Ranger. Alot of childish bragging and bravado. He's very eccentric.

When he said he could land the team plane by himself and everyone would be giving him high 5's on the way out, Michael Young said it was the stupidest thing he's ever heard. I guess Texas fans agree more with Young than Wilson :p

I forgot about that phone number thing. But this is the first I've heard about the plane!

He hasn't said stuff like that since joining the Angels. Not that I know of, or that I've heard or read.

True...maybe part of his Angels contract was to stop saying such things in public :p

Does he do post game interviews after Angels games?

Yes, he's done several post-game interviews.

By going 3 for 4 with a homer and 2 RBIs tonight, Albert Pujols raises his BA to .278 with 16 HR and 56 RBI (now on pace for 100 RBI.) I think he's have a big second half like he did last year and finish with .300-30-100.

Pujols with 3 hits to raise his average to .281 (17 HR, 57 RBI, .349 OBP.) April is looooong gone!!!

Cue the Cardinal fan Albert naysayers.......

hee hee hee

There's a cool thread started on the Cardinals board...Trout, Trumbo and Mang. I love it!

LOL, the Sour Grapes Squad returns! It's been awhile!

They must be missing Albert about now.
