Letters To Sports: Chad Baker-mazara And Gilbert Arenas Have It All Wrong

I conscionable publication Bill Shaikin’s column connected nan Angels and Zach Neto. In it, Angels proprietor Arte Moreno was quoted arsenic saying that among Angels fans’ priorities for nan statement “winning is not successful their apical five.”

I almost dropped my java connected my thigh reference that one. Who did he canvass to get that ridiculous response? Dodgers fans astatine a Dodgers game? If winning was not moreover successful their “top five” what was?

Speaking arsenic a very long-suffering Angels fan, I tin show you what my No. 1 privilege is for nan organization. Somehow get Arte Moreno to waste nan squad to a superior proprietor who does want to make winning nan privilege and not conscionable an evident taxation writeoff for himself.

Bill Shaikin’s file connected Zach Neto and nan Angels says each location is to cognize astir nan Angels poorly tally organization. The proprietor says nan fans do not attraction overmuch astir winning, and evidently neither does he. The GM refuses to talk, but nan nonaccomplishment to motion aliases moreover connection a bully young infielder speaks volumes. Will nan Angels proprietor and beforehand agency ever aftermath up?

There’s nary uncertainty that nan Angels’ Zach Neto is talented and a cornerstone for nan squad to build around. But successful Bill Shaikin’s article, he’s quoted arsenic saying, “I americium going to beryllium wherever my feet are each day, and that is here, pinch nan metropolis of Los Angeles and pinch nan Angels.”

It seems for illustration he has Arte Moreno disease, wanting to beryllium successful L.A., but surviving successful nan Orange County. Zach, if you don’t cognize wherever you are, you won’t cognize erstwhile you get there.
