  1. Meh. They are right where they should be, at or slightly below .500. The very definition of mediocrity. Win 2, lose 2.....all year long.
  2. Ok! Can we get a mulligan on that trade? Any one of your SP for Petey and Randal instead of Crappy and Crappier this time! You pick!
  3. To be honest, as happy as I am for Albert tonight...this is the real '500' I'm interested in. If we win tomorrow, it would be the first time the Halos have had a winning record since Opening Day 2013. I think it's a big deal, personally. It's nice to be a 'winning' team!
  4. What's there to wait and see, really? Those guys have been very good so far, I think. Stewart has had way better AB's than Freese, and Cowgill is a friggin gamer. I love the dude's intensity.
  5. Angels show gastrointestinal fortitude, expose Colon...
  6. Just absolutely outstanding. Out of all the pure little kid joy that weekend brought me, this was the highlight. You guys did a hell of a job putiing that all together. I'm very proud to be a member of this community.
  7. Thanks to all youse guys for tonight. We had a blast, we'll be back!
  8. Well, it's an MLB team that I have no control over (but spend a lot of cash to go watch), so I'm not "concerned" about them either. But it sure would've been nice to watch them push 5 or 6 runs across in any of these first 2 games that I flew down here to see. Against a young stud like Bradley with our 'B' lineup in today, maybe a stretch, but yesterday our 'A' team against the Cubs 'B squad? I left in the 6th, and we had 1 run (then lost 3-2). That game also featured a few things that I would rather shave my head with a cheese grater than ever see in person again: a Kendrick 6-4-3, and a Pujols 1st/3rd 0 out popup. It was akin to watching a shitty movie again, cuz there's nothing else on.
  9. My flight leaves RTIA at 4:55 PM Thursday. Counting the minutes til then...
  10. It's sad, and little demented on my part to think this way, but I'm really fkn glad they are taking the Brandon Wood thing this hard. I never equated that situation to the current playoff drought, but I do now.
  11. "A fall at his home"....how does a young professional athlete "fall at his home"? I'm an old, fat former HS athlete, and I've never done that (although I was about 1" of equilibrium from eating some serious shit last week in my backyard....f'n ice). He was either shitfaced drunk when he ate it at his house....or he was doing something probably prohibited by his contract...
  12. Nolan Ryan, every day while I was throwing my tennis ball 'express' against the garage door. They were wooden then, and didn't make the racket that the hollow aluminum ones today do. One day my Uncle jokingly said that I looked like Nolie in my 5th grade school photo. I thought he was serious, and was never so proud.
  13. Heard that, Strad! I find myself also referring to him as 'old', even though I was 3 when he was born. Another plus for me is that Raul is a huge Rush fan..I saw that one year at Safeco on the scoreboard. He better have 'Limelight' as his walkup tune...
  14. No shit Chuck... I am so sick of missing 19 A's-Angels games every year because Reno is in the A's 'market', and their local TV broadcasts are not shown here either, like the Giants. I wouldn't mind it so much if they gave me a prorated subscription fee to MLB Extra Innings...but oh no, pony up your 2 bills asswipe!!
  15. For the last 3 seasons, every time we would make our annual trip to Anaheim to catch a series, Mark Trumbo would hit a 3 run bomb in at least one of those games (last year it was against Tex and Garza, erasing an early Texas lead). It was uncanny, and real hard for him to not become one of our family favorites. Couple that with him being a boyhood Angel fan from the area, and he was easily my favorite player (not named after a freshwater fish) on the team. I'm really gonna miss him. Good luck in AZ Mark, I hope you effing rake for a couple years, and then JDP brings you back home...
  16. I predict 2 walkoff hits vs. Halos....dude fkn kills us...
  17. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/12/mariners-to-sign-willie-bloomquist.html Fk.
  18. I have been dead against a Cano signing, but might've just changed my mind...
  19. I love Sutcliffe as a color guy, I'd vote for him or Mark Grace (if he had a DD)...
