Section517

I'm not a fan of Howie. He chokes in clutch situations just like the 9th inning strikeout today. And if he demonstrated any plate discipline and scratched a hit or walk in the 2008-2009 playoff series the Halos could have had reached the Fall Classic.

He is still an undisciplined hitter with little understanding of the strike zone. He continues to swing at breaking balls a foot off the plate when down in the count. The difference is hit is fouling off these pitches (even got a hit I believe in the Cubs series); whereas in all other seasons he would swing and miss. His poor hitting approach remains, and it would behoove Dipoto to trade Howie while his value is at its peak The average and OBP are quite telling. The dude still does walk much.

+1 Bravo to whomever took the pic of the Yankees fans who looked like wannabe hip hopsters. One of the dorks looked like the character Turtle from Entourage; the other looked similar to meth head Jesse on Breaking Bad.

Was there last season when the Doyers played. It was also the game when Abreu joined the Blue. I was heckling him (and razzing Adam Kennedy) during batting practice and warmups; his glove was still colored red. Being the only person wearing Angels red (Weaver jersey....the day after he threw his no-no at home) I obviously stood out. Cubbie Bear is a must....only to say you've been there. It's just a sports bar that happens to be across the street from the front entrance of Wrigley. I had lunch at Goose Island. Food was OK. The beer is why I went since it's their brew. If you're in Downtown, definitely hit up a deep dish pizza joint. I had Pizzeria Due and Giordano's. I preferred Due's crust. Also, visit the Billy Goat Tavern. It's a throwback bar from years ago. Nothing fancy about it.

But this antiquated Triple Crown stats trumps all others.

I am seriously considering declining to renew my season seats. This is the first time in 12 years the thought had crossed my mind. It's frustrating knowing I could get similar or better seats at half the cost on the open market.

I had no problem with Shuck going from 1st to 3rd. It was Ianetta either being held up or stopping at 3rd on his own....that's where the idiotic baserunning took place.

Dude is gimpy around the bases. Shut him down before he gets Garret Anderson-itis the rest of his career.

Did the 'stros even give the Angels a courtesy reacharound after bending them over? What a joke of a team. A fat manager who sniffs his own boogers during a game and a puppet pitching coach who will never see a big league clubhouse ever again.

He looks like the Modern Family dad.

They elected Moonbeam Brown. Sadly, he probably has a legit chance in 2018.

Doug Eddings (#88) was the home plate umpire. Do you think his imbecile arse would have dared overruled or even question a fellow buffoon?

It's fitting that Will Ferrell is their human mascot.

UNIONS!!! The weakest employees are protected the most.

Disposable Angels???

Only if Tommy can pull a McSherry when handing the lineup card at home plate to the HP umpire on Opening Day.

Since you have a Galaxy S II, I HIGHLY recommend Poweramp app. There's a 2 week free trial version. And if you like the app, you can pay $5 for it. I'm a cheap a$$ and let me say that it's the best $5 I have spent for an app. It has many different features that the 2 week trial period may not be long enough to fully appreciate its utility. I got away from iTunes several years ago. As you, I prefer moving files and folders from one device to another without restriction.

LOL @ pee trough I had the pleasure of visiting Wrigley last year. It's an absolute gem.

Speaks volumes as to what Butcher FAILS to do as a pitching coach.

Wife doesn't like it. She says it will look ugly mounted on the wall

He's a man who is guaranteed millions for the next several seasons. Dipoto and Morerno have nothing to hang over his head.

....Mayor Tony Villar and the LA City Council demonstrating common sense (e.g. idiotic LA Bike Plan) and fiscal responsibility.

The S4 specs are a beast. Someone on XDA already developed a root method for the S4. I had an S3 until a month ago before trading it on craigslist for a Note 2. I'm holding out for the Note 3, but the rumored October release date seems so far away right now.

Sprint 1 Galaxy Note (mine) 1 Samsung Galaxy S3 4 iPhone 4S I pay $282 per month for a 1500 anytime minute family plan which includes free mobile to mobile (that's any mobile phone to and from any provider), free minutes after 7pm, unlimited texts and data. My group averages well over 3000 texts per month, consume between 8-10 gigs of data, and stay well within our minute plan.

Yep. Same dudes from previous years are scalping. It looks like there's a new guy in the mix as well who patrols Orangewood on a bicycle.
