I remember writing this years ago and you agreeing: I would rather have had that one more year of Howie than all the years we got of Heaney. 

I didn’t “love” it but I definitely felt it was probably the correct move.  It seemed like Heaney could be a solid starter for many years.
Instead, he was annoyingly inconsistent and never really developed into what everyone hoped, and Howie had a little left in the tank.
Bummer.  Hindsight is 20/20.

I was always sad we traded howie for heaney. This shows the dodgers are, too

Are we talking about the same Andrew Heaney?

I would hope Hernandez is not an acquisition. He does not move the club forward in any way.

This would have sucked more if this were one of the Angels good seasons. 
I think. 
I don't really remember what those felt like. 

A Cohiba Siglo VI tonight, boys - along with another rarity, Graycliff Chateau Grand Cru, no longer made, one of the three finest cigars I have ever smoked. Managed to get my hands on one of the few left in existence about six months ago. No cheap seconds tonight.
When I saw how Fried's ankle turned when Brantley stepped on it at first base, I just knew that he was done. Fortunately that didn't happen.
To put this in perspective, I was 40 the last time that the Braves won it all. I have had Social Security checks going into the bank since spring.
Time for the Angels to win one now.

I'll eat anything if you put that spread on it. 
Wait. 

YES!!!  Great to see the Braves win again!  It's been a long time coming.  I was born a Braves fan, then added the Angels as my AL team in 1981.   My mom still lives in the house I grew up in, and on one wall in my old room, a signed pic of Dale Murphy hangs right between a signed pic of Reggie Jackson's 500th HR and a signed pic of Don Sutton's 300th win.  On another wall is a "Wallyworld" poster from 1986 (Joyner was born in Stone Mountain, GA, so he bridged the two worlds of Georgia and the Angels).
My first in-person major league game was this one from 1986:

Bob Horner hit 4 HR (and Andres Galarraga got beaned in the head so hard that you could clearly hear the echo from our seats way up in the nosebleed section). 
And I remember skipping school with some high school friends in 1991 to go to a rally for the Braves when they got into the World Series for the first time since the move from Milwaukee.
Maybe one day before I die, the Angels will get back to a sustained level of success--but in the meantime, I'm a happy guy tonight.

Can we taco bout it?

Have any of you ever attended a stadium/arena to watch a game on television? And if so, was it fun? 
I don't really get it, but then again I'm not a particularly social person.

Wait. 

Is she single, by any chance? 

I'm not prepared to live in a world where Dusty Baker is a World Series-winning manager. 
Get your shit together, Braves. You won one in Houston, now win one more.

There are neutral fans when it comes to the Astros? 

If you had given me three guesses as to his first name, I would have gotten it. 
I wonder if he has more Abercrombie shirts or college date-rape accusations.

The organist is play “Free Falling” for Bergman. LOL

Anybody else remember the days when you didn't pull a pitcher throwing a no-hitter? 

Absolutely fuck no
