Career years from a few guys plus good health is always possible. So spring always brings Optimism for me. 50 years of watching this team has brought enough surprises and great moments that I can't help but overhype and dream of what could be each and every spring. Most years it fades by the All Star break, but I just can't help but be excited once again .

The question to me is what impact Doug White will have on these pitchers coming off down years. If he can have a consistent positive impact on the entire staff it could be a fun year.

You think MLBers need motivation to perform? Except Hamilton of course.

You wouldn't think so but contract year upticks seem to say different.

With his opt out in play. How motivated will this guy be to perform during a pennant race and possible playoff appearance. I love this.

Because he hits the ball harder than most, more often than most. He will naturally get out more than most on hard hit balls

My First Live Season opener in 40 years!!!!!

So Excited!! I'm tired of looking at this team on paper. It's depressing. I wanna see Choi, Gentry, Nava, Simmons and others with a bat in their hands and see who may surprise everybody!!

2015 Angels: Watch Mike Trout then for 3 innings pout

YES!!

Our schedule has felt light, but the reality is other than K.C. who really is a strong team in the A.L.? Only six teams are over .500 and that includes the Twins and Astros. So I agree the schedule has been favorable, but I also don't see that changing, especially when they get to the western division teams.

Next step season MVP. Followed by world series MVP. NOW THATS A TRIPLE CROWN!!

Richards/ Santiago/Skaggs/ Heaney/ Newcomb/ Tropeano/ C.Ellis/ (MIKE TROUT!!!)

Future is exciting to me. This F.O. Crap will work out.

Iannetta is a five tool tool.

May 2nd 1979. Ryan beats Guidry 1-0. Both throw complete games only run was a double by Jim Anderson to score Terry Humphrey. It was also seat cushion night !!

Field of Dreams. Went to Iowa this summer and played some ball on the field. Amazing day.

Once shared a booth at Dennys with Rance Mulliniks!!
