What does the MLB rulebook say about the minimum number of buttons on a jersey that must be buttoned during a game?  There's gotta be some kinda rule--and whatever that rule is, if anyone is going to test it, from all indications, that person is going to be Mike Napoli.

He's a solid player.  Can't remember what he did that caused Angels fans to hate.  

 

His numbers the last two years are funny.  Last year, 11 doubles and triples, 24 home runs.  This year, 23 doubles and triples, 9 home runs. He has always been a guy that has had an edge in home runs... and he fits the profile of someone that would do that... but both of the last two years both seem like flukes.

Absolutely this. Blame Reagins/Scioscia -- not Napoli.

Napoli was a good guy when here.  He NEVER complained to the media about Scioscia sitting him, very fan friendly at least in my experiences meeting him.  Productive player as well, could be streaky but at times carried the team.  He also never wanted to leave the Angels, Scioscia ran him out of town.  Napoli gets hate because he ended up on the Rangers, and now the Red Sox, two hated teams by our fanbase, but it worked out that way because of Scioscia and Reagins.

Napoli has that fire in him. The fire the Angels lost 'till present as soon as they let him go. 

 

I never had a problem with him hitting .250 and catching here.

 

Thing is he pushes the envelope when playing the Angels out of pure spite. While being on strong teams like Tex or Bos. They feed his confidence like the Angels never could. 

 

Anybody notice that 4 fans ran out to try to get that ball? I'm sure they were Boston drunks.

 

I'm starting to see that a lot at Angel Stadium. Nothing at those fence boundaries explicitly states that going to grab a ball over there is against stadium policy, but those rails at the bottom of the CF greenery are obviously not there to save a human in case they fall. I'm sure those fans get ejected from the stadium, but if there's nothing there saying they will be ejected, who knows for sure. I wish Angels stadium was not so hard nosed, where they can run out there to get the ball, but I know how the park is run so I doubt the fans get away with it. They most likely get the ball taken away from them then are escorted from the park.

he actually did want to leave the angels because he didn't like scioscia.
