Jon Heyman was just on WFAN. He does not think Harper or Machado will be signed by spring training, possibly not until March!
Translation: Harper press conference being set-up as we speak. Expect an announcement by this time tomorrow. 

what's facebook?  

How much longer until an @Angel Oracle or @tdawg87reaction is available. 

Out of all teams Rivera faced in Major League baseball, at 50 games or more, the Angels "got" to him, running up a .691 OPS which is #1 out of all 30 teams.
To say that .691 is a lot isn't really true but we performed well against him compared to our peers.
Congrats to MR for his induction into the Hall of Fame.

Mark Texieria’s wife just orgasmed looking at this 

Eppler shouldv'e known better than to cheat a friend, the wasted chance that he's been given. Now he's never gonna dance again, the way he danced with Trou-ou-out.

25,000 bail, wtf texas?
"sexual abuse of a child under 14" is a penal code term and not just a description of the charge. there are 8 violations in the texas penal code that fall under this charge, none of them are even remotely ok. i can't believe the bail amount, that's a 2500 bond, ridiculous.
i think john is going to be sweating through his baseball cap in a texas prison.

Let's give credit where credit is due -- he started his career as a Dodger.

The whispers are that Jon Heyman is hearing whispers in his head.

I know a number of longer term users on this board knew my dad (who went by Pablo on here). This morning, he was going for his daily bike  ride, and he was hit by a car at Seal Beach and PCH. My understanding is that he died on site, and there was no pain. Due to the nature of the incident, they are doing a full autopsy, so I won't know the details until a couple weeks from now.
I just wanted to thank everyone here. The Angels were always a thing we bonded over, and he introduced me to this place a few years ago. This has been the starting point of countless conversations between us over the years.

@Jeff Fletcher
can you just make something up and claim it's from your 'sources' so we have something else to talk about?   

They need to sign someone quickly so we can all complain about it for 72 pages 

Waiting on what? Do you think the Angels are in on Machado? I don't think they are and if they're interested in Moose, then waiting would be the worst thing to do. 
 

When/if we make it to the postseason, these are the type of FA signings we are going to wish the Angels stretched a little to get done. 

I forgot that he hit the slam in the Friday game against the A'th, off of....wait for it...……………………..Blanton!

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year.  I hope that this year brings you health and happiness.  This place is amazing and that is because of all of you.  Go Angels!  

F*ck you

I don’t know if this is a joke or not.  Mainly because I don’t know who Derek Williams is.  

I have very little interest if that's the price range.

Luigi Ferrigno should bat cleanup. 

It is amazing and it’s extremely annoying.  The Reds and Royals are the stupidest organizations in baseball.  

he should bat 4th
 
and be our closer 

I kind of hope the Dodgers get Harper, and that it's a 10-year deal.

How funny would it be if the Dodgers don't end up signing Harper.

Just saw this on MLB.com.  I hope this works out.
BTW rafibomb, I could've gone through life without seeing that pic.
