On a lighter note, the day after the Angels acquired him, Cory Rasmus got married to....Jeff Mathis's sister.

The day after being acquired from the #Braves, Cory Rasmus was slated to get married. His now-wife: Jeff Mathis' sister. #Angels

my brain is going to explode.

[jshep]

Pretty sure this is the most entertaining piece of Angels' news for today, and that's really saying something.

[WallyWorld]

i just love that Jeff Mathis continues to hang around this franchise in strange ways.

[ELEVEN]

Napoli"s sister had the better measurements

[tennischmp]

Is she at least hot?

[nate]

Ha, that is just awesome.

 

[jshep]

Well, I guess the whole thing about pitchers loving Mathis has multiple meanings now.

[tdawg87]

I'll bet she's got a nice squat.

[tomsred]

I'm glad the title on the opening thread was pretty clear.  If it were simply "Rasmus marries Mathis" we would be on page 16 by now.

[HaloCory22]

She calls a great game.

[Sciosciapath]

I'm assuming Scioscia will be the child's Godfather.

[Chuck]

They already have a name for their daughter.

Cera.

[ettin]

I'm sure she's a good receiver? It's in the blood right?

[Docwaukee]

When Cory tries to go to second base, does she cover first? 

[ettin]

When Cory first laid eyes on her was he s-mitt-en?

[ettin]

Jeff's sister only dates baseball players.... in other words no glove, no love.

[Hollyw00d]

well played, chuck

[Docwaukee]

Did Scioscia walk her down the Aisle?

[FireThemAll]

They already have a name for their daughter.

Cera.

 

LOL!! post of the year. Well done, sir

[Angel Oracle]

Their first child's name: cERA.

[tomsred]

Their first child's name: cERA.

What?  I thought it would be "Napoli."

[Second Base]

This must be a peace-treaty arranged marriage.   

 

1. Dipoto fires the first shot, trades Mathis (2012).

2. Scioscia fires back by benching the recently promoted Conger (2012). 

3. Dipoto comes right back and fires Hatcher (2012).

4. Scioscia starts using Jason Isringhausen and LaTroy Hawkins in clutch situations to make Dipoto look stupid (2012).

5. Dipoto figures Sosh will put awful pitchers in on a consistent basis, finds the worse pitcher available in Joe Blanton to make Scioscia look bad.

6. Move backfires and makes Dipoto look bad.  Then Scioscia just keep pitching him to rub salt on the wound.

7. Dipoto trades for Rasmus and tries to get him to marry Mathis to make amends.  Finds out Mathis isn't available, but sister is. Appeases Sosh. 

8. Sosh is currently planning to set Napoli up with Iannetta's sister as a backhanded peaceful gesture.

This thread has Hall of Fame potential.

 

Here is their wedding registry (at Wal Mart, no less) in case you're still looking for that last minute gift.

At least Cory never has to worry about her hitting him. She is a Mathis, after all.

Jeff's sister said to Cory, "You wanna touch them?" and he just kissed her instead.
