Don’t Know What You've Got, Till It’s Gone

Good song.

[Spirit]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

 

What a road trip!  Even though they're out of it, their play of late is making it a lot easier to enjoy the last month of the season.

Offseason must feel so long when you're in cold weather

Well done Geoff !!!

Especially if you don't have a quality snowblower.

The snow actually helps.   So does having a good NFL team.

You must be talking about the Ravens

Ha!  Nice picture edit.  Pan left.

 

In all honesty, this has been one of the biggest local news stories of the last 2 weeks.  Apparently it's an NFL rule that for the kickoff game, a giant poster of both teams must be displayed outside the stadium.  The locals are less than pleased.

Heard there are also Flacco banners around Downtown Denver.

It's provided local Sports Talk Radio an endless supple of fodder.

Angels are working on their 100ft banner of Jeter next season. They can say that it's "MLB Rules".

[Spirit]

If it's Jeter, it probably will be MLB rules.

[Halos of Anaheim]

Doesn't feel like that right now (even though we've played well as of late). I haven't looked forward to football this much in a long time. At least last year/2011 we were still in the hunt for the W.C come the final week.

It's having me re-assess how to handle the Scioscia situation.

I've had my doubts throughout this season.

But they are still playing hard for him, and he does seem to not stick with some slumping real bad players as long as he stuck with Steve Finley in 2005.

I hate to be a wet blanket, but its important to remember that these games are as important as a solo home run in the 9th inning down by 10 runs. They look impressive and are fun, but they have no level of importance to them.

 

There's a term that isn't used much today for a player who tends to pad their stats with those sorts of meaningless home runs: a hot dog. The Angels are hot-dogging it right now.

 

The point for me is: I'm not impressed, nor does it make me more hopeful for next year. I was already hopeful for next year, but the recent play doesn't impact that at all because the games are meaningless.

Looking forward to the Winter Meetings, where we are two time defending champs!!!

[Spirit]

I'm thinking if we sign Trout to something longer term we can call it a Threepeat.

There are no winter meetings for the Angels this year.  Arte's wife is sending Arte and Jerry to the South Pacific on a monthly fishing trip where they can bond.

No way arte gets that close to Asia.

-AO.

How many days until pitchers and catchers report?

[tomsred]

Pujols and Hamilton are going on that fishing trip as well.  Arte is going to take a net, Pujols and Hamilton will go swimming and Arte will keep landing them, over and over and over again.  Jerry is going to spend his time fishing for large sailfish, but he'll keep landing baby mackerel instead.  Don't worry, they won't get close to Asia, too many press people there.

Far more than is comprehensible.  Let's put it this way, 55,500,000 babies will be born first (at 370,000 per day world wide).
