  1. I've been a member of the forum now for quite a few years now but I rarely post so might as well introduce myself as a noob. I'm from Wales (that's part of the UK for you geographically challenged yanks ;)) but have lived in Sweden for the last 20 years. I discovered baseball back in the late 80s when football (the American kind) became a cult sport on one of the TV channels in the UK. The same channel started showing the baseball and as a Rams fan I plumped for the Angels as they played in the same stadium. Baseball never caught on and disappeared from the airwaves as did my very basic interest. Fast forward to 2006 and I discovered that I had a satellite channel that broadcast live and recorded baseball as part of my TV package. I was hooked pretty quickly this time as there is something about the game that appeals to my psyche. I decided to stick with the Halos and here I am. It's a pain that most of the games take place in the middle of the night but most mornings I am able to catch the last few innings.

  2. Yep. The job of a manager isn't to polish a turd, it's to work with the talent you've got and make it the best team it can be. The evidence is coming more compelling by the day that this team is the metophorical turd that cannot be polished. It's not impossible that changes in the latter part of the season so far, but when you've got a collection of hitters that aren't hitting what the hell can a manager do about it?

     

    Mate, it all depends on the type of turd. We need some visual aids.

    I think we can rule out Type 7; the Angels don't have the runs.

  3. A question for anyone in the UK really....

     

    Does anyone know a website that sells replica shirts in the UK? Only websites I can find are US based and the shipping costs are almost as much as the jersey cost!

     

    Thanks

    Not UK but there is a German site that sells MLB gear

    taass.com

    Shipping should be reasonable enough.
