    Lemmy!
     
    Such a soothing voice.  After a long day at work, there's nothing like a glass of wine and Lemmy blaring in the background.
     
    Truly, the voice of an angel.

    Brandon reacted to Docwaukee in Where were you when the Angels won Game7 in '02   
    Game six:  downtown LA.  Had flown in from milwaukee for my buddy's wedding.  We were at the reception in a hotel when we heard they were down.  It was during dinner dinner and the groom (my friend) was so drunk that he grabbed the microphone and slurred something about wanting everyone to sing happy birthday to his wife even though we literally finished doing so thirty seconds prior. 
    At that point the best man took the mic and chucked it into a planter.  He walked the groom back to his chair, looked up at me and a few of my other friends and gave us the thumbs up.  I looked over at my Dad who was already looking at me and getting out of his chair.  About twenty of us went to the top floor lounge to watch, and by the time that percival sealed the deal, the entire wedding reception was up there watching.  We were going berserk. 
     
    Went back down to the reception to find my friend slumped over almost passed out in the corner with his new wife standing over him shouting 'you ruined my wedding!!!!'.  They were getting divorced three months later. 
     
    Game 7:  My dad had two tickets and one of them was mine.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get a later flight back to Milwaukee and I had to be on call early the next day so he took my Mom.  I was so mad I almost cried.  To this day I can't forgive myself. 
    I was on the airplane while the game was going on and they piped in the live feed to the headphone system.  In the eighth inning, the feed died and they couldn't get it back.  I was pacing the center aisle along with about 10 other people.  A little while later (which seemed like an eternity), the captain came on the pa and made the announcemnt.  "The Angels have just won the world series!"
    The whole plane erupted.  People were running up and down the aisles high fiving.  I actually got choked up.  My wife, who is not a sports person and is from chicago looked at me like I was nuts but I just sat there with a huge ear to ear grin and drank about five beers the rest of the way home.   I was pretty hung over at 5am for work the next day.

    At the end of the day, you probably aren't worse than 2-14.

    I don't get it either. 
     
    There was an article up yesterday that said the only people interested in this is bloggers and OC/SoCal social media.

    Brandon reacted to Stradling in Heyman on Trout's weight   
    No offense but if he makes a decision of where to play based on what idoits say on a message board then I have no idea where he should play, because every team has a fan website, many with more idoits than we have. That being said the jokes about his weight have never been funny.

    Brandon reacted to nando714 in Trade of Alex Smith to Chiefs "effectively complete"   
    It effects the draft bc ppl assume kc was reaching for a qb. Im with you, there's no qb worth taking in the top 10 imo but im sure someone will reach. I dont think Warmack will last past 10-12. I would love for my cards to get him at #7 if Joekel and Fisher are gone. yes a bit high for a guard but this guy has larry allen written all over him. Lane Johnson the OT from Oklahoma would be solid too but i value Warmack more.

    ESPN just did a breaking news on it, aside from nando also posted, and have it up on the site.

    I'm actually more worried about what KC gave up.
     
     
    Not sure it affects the draft too much, nando. No QB was worth the #1 and now teams that were interested in reaching for one (Jets, Buffalo) can wait to the end of the top 10 where some think a team will reach for Geno Smith. I also think they can resign Albert and still draft Joekel. I wish they would trade back, but no one wants to jump up for anyone in this draft. Trade back and get a guy like Chance Warmack

    Brandon got a reaction from Tank in AMC's The Walking Dead   
    Kind of getting burnt out on the show as it's now in a lull like all of season 2 with the looking for that girl the whole season, but now a war of sorts between two camps. Kind of a bummer because this season has been solid. But a zombie apocalypse where two groups of humans want to kill each other seems kind of out of line, especially how they are going about setting it up.
     
    On a side note, it's dope they have Cutty from The Wire on the show.
