  1. This is simple, really. As some have said, the best "cure" is rest. Pujols should not be playing 1B. He should be the full-time DH for the rest of the season and then, if need be, have surgery in the offseason (didn't know there was a surgery for it). Trumbo is not a bad first baseman.

     

    The question, though, is why is this a problem in April? Is this another case of a ballplayer being overly macho and trying to muscle through it? If there is a surgery for it, why didn't it happen back in November? Seems like Albert f-ed up on this one.

     

    Good questions.... and where was our "top notch" training staff during the offseason? 

  2. The only treatment for plantar fasciitis is rest. It needs time to heal. For those who have never had it, I hope you never get it. It hurts like hell. You can barely put weight on your foot without being in agony. I can't imagine trying to play baseball like that.

     

    Do we have selective memories around here or did all of you start watching the Angels intently after 2002?

     

    Salmon had plantar fasciitis.  Had surgery a few days after the season and was ready to go for spring.  http://espn.go.com/gen/newswire/2000/20001006/00803046.html

     

    You all just need to get used to Trumbo playing first and Pujols DHing.  He should have the surgery in the off season.

  3. I actually work at the Oakley HQ in Foothill Ranch doing IT work (nothing to do with the retail side), and their sunglasses are no joke.  Their HDO Polarized lenses are insanely clear and crisp.  A lot of their proprietary lens technology sounds gimmicky with all these buzzwords ("XYZ" technology, hi-def optics and etc.) but they're honestly the best sunglasses I've owned.  

     

    As far as apparel, its insanely overpriced at retail pricing (IMO) but its all high quality stuff.  I get it cheaper than wholesale and usually still have a hard time justifying the cost unless I'm just buying t-shirts.

     

     

    Found out at the opening that you can get prescription lenses done by Oakley... going to get the prescription from the Dr and head out to Foothill Ranch.

  4. Buy your tickets from the Angels Ticket Exchange and download them instantly for this weekend's series against the defending American League Champion, Detroit Tigers. The Halos are looking to rebuild the momentum as they return to the Big A on April 19th! The Angels Ticket Exchange boasts most of the best seat locations and deals on the resale market because they are listed by Season Seat Holders. Your tickets are guaranteed to be validated by Ticketmaster so you will never worry about the authenticity of your tickets or need to pick them up at an inconvenient location away from Angel Stadium like you might with other online resale sites.

     

     

    :D 

    And so the marketing BS begins.
