It's p*ssing rain in San Gabriel right now. And I am on the fence whether to make the drive down to Anaheim if it's raining as much as it is in the SGV.

In other news,

JAPAN ATTACKS PEARL HARBOR

This has been ongoing for several years, and now news agencies are reporting it. Thankfullly, there's Twitter.

I was all for giving Hamilton another crack. Management had a different plan

The Angels will be dealt a serious BLOW after this trade.  

Does Hamilton know Ron Washington no longer manages the Rangers?  

Hamilton blowing up on Twitter.

Matt Joyce. He hits like Shea Hillenbrand and plays defense like Raul Ibañez.

What a cunny

I'd take ARod's glove over Freese's any day.

ARod's bat > Freese's bat

There is no way the Yanks will trade for Hamilton.  With all the booze, blow, and hookers in that town, Josh would either be rehab or dead by the All-Star break.

Deep fried is the South, mostly Bama, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Scioscia probably ordered a side of smoked beef brisket.

I was and so you're basically given one free acquisition?

Managers determine how much they are willing to bid on free agents.  It's a "blind" bid not knowing if other managers are bidding on the same player.  

100 damn dollars to get someone off waivers?!

If you are referring to my post, let me clarify.  Each manager is given $100 to use during the season to bid on free agents.  The waiver wire ends at 8PM PST every night. 

good or bad:

 

Jake Odorizzi

Freddie Freeman

 

for

 

Joey Votto

More info is needed to make a suggestion.  What are the league categories?  Do you play cumulative or head to head?

Joyce needs to be DFA'd because when he injures Trout taking one a poor route on a flyball, he'll end up DOA.

If only the Angels could show as much fight as their fans. Nice brawl broke out between few fans behind the Royals dugout.

Yep

Pujols stealing down 5 runs on a 3-0 count. That trumps anything Erick FUBAR Aybar has ever done.

What kind of reaction would one get from a significant other after telling them you were faithful to them 3,449 of the 3,452 days together?

I have Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, and Amazon Fire Stick devices on various TVs at my home.  I even have an LG Smart TV with built in WiFi with the MLB At Bat app installed. All of them are setup to use the MLB Premium Subscription.  I share the subscription with a friend, and with our 2 separate IP addresses we have used 11 devices simultaneously watching live games:

-Laptop computer

-2 android phones

-2 tablets

-Apple TV

-2 Rokus

-Chromecast

-Amazon Fire Stick

-PlayStation 4

-LG Smart TV

Couple this subscription with Unlocator, and it's a baseball fan's paradise.

i would think both chicago stadiums would be replete with great pizza and great hot dogs, but it sounds like they both are severely lacking.

Been to Wrigley.  Their concessions had nothing spectacular, other than a Chicago Dog.  But how many fans truly go to the game with high food quality expectations?

That's the lot where they sell the angel dogs right?

The hot dog vendor is not there as well. Apparently he hasn't been back since July last season.

I did not get a clear answer from the parking lot attendant. He did say that the property is under new management and he sensed the owners are trying to discourage drinking and tailgating.

Drove up to my favorite parking lot and see that there is now no alcohol allowed.

FYI to all you tailgaters.

Pre-ordered my GS6 today. Thought about getting it in gold, but then I noticed the gold edition doesn't release until May 1. So I got it in black.

What phone do you currently use?  And why features steered your decision toward the Galaxy S6?

It's a very nice device and with launchers like Nova available that are better than any launcher (Apple, stock Android, etc) complaints about Touchwiz are kinda silly.

 

Whatever the case, I'll be sticking with LG. My 1.5 year old G2 is still rocking and can take anything I throw at it. LG really knows what it's doing.

 

Also, having the buttons on the back is a stroke of genius that works so well once you get used to it.

Well said RallyMo.

LG could capture android market share with the G4 if they continue designing their flagship phones with a removable battery and micro SD slot.  The G2 has the best battery performance of any phone (one Apple, and over a dozen android) I owned.  And the double tap feature to turn on and off the display is brilliant, so a user does not have to pick up the phone to access the power button.
