  1. Welcome, Parker Markel! Say hello to Frank and Fanny Farkel and their good friend and trusty neighbor, Ferd Berfel.
  2. Back in 1971, when I was a kid, they held an autograph session at Andy Etchebarren's liquor store in Hacienda Heights. The Orioles were in town to play the Angels. It was mobbed with kids and I remember waiting in line a long time. But I was able to get a ball autographed by Brooks Robinson, Dave McNally, Jim Palmer, Davey Johnson and Etchebarren. I still have it somewhere.
  3. There was no point in the Angels signing Rosenthal to a minor league deal. Even if he pitched well, he wasn't going to propel the Angels into the playoffs. And then he would just be a free agent at season's end.
  4. Ausmus gave a really good interview about 7 or 8 years ago on NPR. It is all about the art of catching at the major league level. It runs about half an hour. https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=150059218
  5. Otani, down in Mexico against the Astros on Cinco de Mayo, third inning.
  6. Votto is tampering! Adell is going to sign with his hometown Reds when he becomes a free agent. The Angels might as well trade him now so they can get something for him.
  7. Harvey's salary is $5 million. Nobody is going to claim him off waivers.
  8. Napoli, K-Rod, Nolasco, Bourjos, Colon, Aybar all released! Lackey unsigned! Let's get the band back together!
  9. Edmonds would have been a free agent after the 2000 season. There was reportedly some friction between Edmonds and the other Angels players which prompted the trade and made it seem unlikely he would have signed an extension with the Angels. Edmonds signed a 7-year extension with the Cardinals in May 2000.
  10. Maybe you could ask him to take a new profile picture of you.
