Angel Oracle

Is the 241 fire causing a big back up on Irvine Blvd between Culver Drive and Newport Blvd???? TWENTY minutes to travel that 3 miles the past two days!!!! Bumper to Bumper the whole way, NEVER, EEVER been like that before!!!!

Took Corbett a while before he finally did something, was solid in the 1986 ALCS including 3 solid innings in game 4.

Waiting for when the renewed Latin American scouting pays dividends with a Severino like pitcher being signed

The OL injuries, and Tee Martin's Rob Boras like unimaginative play calling, are killing this offense. The after effects of just returning to the full 85 rides recently are also being seen.

It was crazy sending Moore out there in the 11th inning of game 5, after already pitching one inning plus to two batters in the 9th. Finley pitched solidly after replacing Moore in the 11th.

Calhoun may well be traded, if they think Hermosillo is ready and Upton is retained and they can get either a 2B/3B or pitching help in exchange for Calhoun. But they also have to consider that without Calhoun, the only lefty bats remaining would be Valnobuena and switch-hitter Cowart.

It's still suspicious that BadRock fell so much from his 2016 sterling performance. Groin injury carryover? Or just wasn't mentally prepared enough?

Upton is MAYBE proof that Arte Moreno does care. Let's see how that works out this winter, and what acquisitions are brought in during the next 4 months.

Baylor's slam in game 4 in 1982 made things very interesting, cutting a 7-1 lead to 7-5. Moose Haas no-hit the Halos for the first 5 innings before faltering. Alas, no miracle comeback being completed that day.

I do remember that around $70 million would be available after the season, before Upton was acquired.

If only Hassler had faced Cooper instead of Sanchez facing him in game 5, with the Halos leading by a run.

And have movement on that heat

Or the screwy girl friend

The injury history is the big thing here.

It's turning out to be a rotten contract, at least Brown is doing alright.

Jason Brennan is in the evacuation area. OC Register article included a brief interview with him. I hope for resolution from this fire for all affected by it.

Shield is back together, officially! Shield vs Miz/The Bar/Strowman at TLC in a handicap match Classic Shield, triple power bomb to Miz in the ring and also to Strowman through the announce table!

Was at Knott's today to celebrate my birthday with friends. Skies were orange and black there by around 2pm.

Agreed that Zayn seemed to stagnate. He and KO have been good friends for many years, kind of like Edge and Christian with both being Canadian. Maybe revive the late 90s Hart family anti-America storyline?

Happened the day before I was born. I can imagine my dad watching the game while being nervous about my impending birth.

Which is why I can definitely see the Cubs coming out of the NL to the WS. Kershaw's post-season inconsistencies plus Dusty Baker managing the Nats = Cubs repeating as NL pennant winners.

Biggest shocker from HIAC: Longtime face Sami Zayn turning heel to seemingly align with KO Will the Shield reunite tonight? Probably not, the tease will get bigger though. The TLC promo pic does supposedly have all 3 together on it.

It was partially the SeaChickens defense playing like their manhood was threatened after a so-so performance so far, and partially Goff somewhat reverting back to rookie Goff with several throws to either nowhere or to SeaChicken defenders. Gurley also somewhat reverted to bad 2016 Gurley. The old saying: young teams take a step forward followed by a step backwards. I can see Kupp making that late catch for the winning TD later on in the season. Goff did look like 2017 Goff on that last near winning TD drive.

Hernandez is a rock solid leadoff option, .370 OBP the past two seasons. Trout, Upton, and Pujols would clean up.

Still hoping for a Cubs/Indians rematch, both teams are hot going into the post-season.
