    yk9001 got a reaction from ettin in Tim Mead - good guy   
    My daughter's best friend has an aunt, who, not only having cerebral palsy all her life, is going through breast cancer.  That is a lot of tough breaks, not only for the woman, but the whole family. She's a big Angels fan.
     
    I am not sure how they got it set up, but the family got to visit the Angels clubhouse before Monday's game.  My daughter is texting me, and it was only 90 minutes before the game.  Scioscia took time to sign a ball for the woman (she really doesn't talk) - and I saw Tim Mead in the background of one of the pictures.  I am sure Mead did a lot to get this done.
     
    The season may suck, but these people do nice things for people.

    MS figures that there is a really good chance we might only get one hit tonight.  Last time that happened it was Iannetta

    yk9001 got a reaction from Hollyw00d in Surprise! Pujols legs hurting him again - May DH rest of season   
    ESPN had a game from Busch on last week, and as they come back from a commercial, they have some sort of ad on, while showing the crowd.  What's the one jersey you see?  Pujols.
     
    Was a Cardinal, will always be a Cardinal.

    RIP - but I don't think we here at AW are a dysfunctional family... i actually think, outside of Angels-related stuff, we all get along pretty well.

    Cabrera and Verlander have had monster seasons for the club now overpaying them. We've gotten one monster month from Pujols.

    For the hell of it this summer, I quit clicking on my notifications for "likes".  It got up to 285 this week.  Now I see its down to 279. 
    I think maybe your likes stay on for some period of time, then kind of fall off.
     
    Or, people are going back and unliking something of mine that they liked previously.

    yk9001 got a reaction from VariousCrap in Don Orsillo coming to the Angels?   
    When people complain about Gubi, they have dozens of concrete examples.  Same with Smith. 
     
    When people complained about Hudler, they had specific examples.  Lots of them. (I personally liked Hud).
     
    The main complaint about Victor from Soto has been that he's "sarcastic".  And I remember one specific example about a fly out, and Victor mentioned that Trout was left on deck. 
     
    And another person doesn't like "Drive home safely".  
     
    Well, call the feds.  In this dreck of a season, if those are the biggest complaints, I am failing to see the problem.
