  1. I am the opposite of you, I have lived in Summerlin for the last 6 years and there is one right behind my house,which I went to on Saturday.I had no idea so many were closed in California until today.
  2. From some of your posts, I thought it would have been shit stain.
  3. I could be wrong but I think #3 is Curt Simmons,even though he never wore #3.He did pitch for the Angels in 1967.
  4. Electric is spot on,we would go watch him warm up in the bullpen and you could hear the seams on the baseball cutting through the air.The pop of the catchers mitt was so loud you could almost hear it in the whole stadium.There were plenty of games when he pitched that there was less than 10,000 people at the game.
  5. For sure and with all that Ryan was 2nd for the Cy Young Award.I still hold it against Jim Palmer.
  6. I voted for Ryan's 383 K season, back then Nolan was the only reason to go to the games. I went with a friend of mine to every home start for Ryan,so it seems more personel for me. Ryan also picked up a save that year pitching 2 innings and striking out 4,which in the end pushed him past Koufax.The fact he passed a Dodger was the cherry on top and as always F the Dodgers.
  7. That's where the Bears played, the Denver Bears that is. I saw a Broncos game there in 1975, but by that time they had changed the name to Mile High Stadium and added thousands of seats.
  8. Close,but I think it was these guys. Captain Sum Ting Wong Wi Tu Lo Ho Lee Fuk Bang Ding Ow
  9. It's funny because I look at it as a bullet dodged.He's coming off of shoulder surgery and pitched 1.1 innings last year.He has only pitched over 100 innings twice, seems like too big a risk for the Angels.
  10. You asked why he gets no "love" and I think that is why.I get what you're saying but I think we look at DV a little different than 50 years ago. He beat up the father of his girlfriend and punched and kicked the mother of his child.How many of those older players were arrested?
  11. It's probably the two domestic violence arrests.
  12. Speaking of musicians they also had great bands on,like Cream,The Doors and The Who and many others.The episode with The Who is crazy,Keith Moon blows up his drumkit,with probably too many explosives.
  13. Somebody pointed out to me one of the guys name is Dick Fitts, parents can be cruel sometimes.I went to school with a guy named Dick Seamen, things did not go well for him.
  14. Inside Pitch delivering some facts, I think as Angel fans we might be a little spoiled by Trout's excellence. 2fWAR doesn't seem very valuable but it turns out to be more rare than I thought.Great stuff, also nice quote from Clark W Griswold.
  15. He has really been struggling in August, only 52 AB's. 173/259/288 he has more SB's than hits 10-9.
  16. I don't know about HBP but I read where it was 12 guys he walked with the bases loaded. He said he would unintentionally intentionally walk a guy to face a different hitter who he thought he could get out. The story also said that Palmer almost gave up a Grand Slam to Rico Carty but Al Bumbry went over the wall to bring it back. Palmer was a beast.
  17. This is such a great comment, I think most people missed it.
  18. You could not have said it any better than that, I don't post a lot but it too used to give me a kick when he liked my post.Cancer is just a bitch and it touches everyone someway. This news just made this day worse than it was.
