  1. Since the latest changes a week ago, you should be fine to go back to Firefox or use this on any browser now.
  2. We all have our opinions about the lineup, but at the end of the day when Mike rolls out his lineup on opening day, I've moved on from mine and will root on the Halos for a victory. We all know Mike won't keep a consistent lineup all season long anyhow. If Callaspo doesn't hit well this spring, he probably won't get to hit in the #2 spot. So far from what I've seen from him this spring, he's out of character, swinging are more pitches early in the count opposed to working it... But that could be because he's hitting lower in the lineup too in RBI situations. LOL @ roster-bate
  3. Good post IP. I think Howie's stats and a lot of our perceptions of him being a future batting champ have really diminished him as a player, but as you said, he's been pretty good since he was named the starter.
  4. I don't think the Angels have announced their 2-hole hitter yet. Honestly I'd rather go with Aybar there over Howie, but prefer Callaspo.
  5. I remember we ran over there to get pictures of Vlad and see him, but our attention focused shifted quickly on the Dominican reporter.
  6. No. It's a community of Angels fans who love the team, the manager, the coaches in an effort to root on their team through the good times & the tough times. If you want to spout negativity all the time, use Twitter for that.
  7. I didn't say you hijacked this thread. You hijacked plenty of threads with your Butcher/Scioscia hate a plenty over the past year or so. I'm just saying, I got my eyes on you Focker. Play it cool and we have no problem.
  8. Um. We all call out the manager, coaches and players at times, but you're constantly posting the same garbage about Butcher, Scioscia and some players that have ruffled your feathers. I made a vow to the board this year that I will not tolerate constant trolling from members about a certain individual on the Angels. We banned a guy named R. Munkee because of his hate for Vladimir Guerrero. I dealt with it for about a year or so and after several warnings (like you've received) he was finally gone. Moral of the story, you're on thin ice so don't push your luck here. I don't mind a boo here or a damn there from you, but I don't need you thread-jacking or creating with posts of your hate agenda toward these individuals you've zeroed in on the past year. I say no more.
  9. Scott, I love the picture! I can't believe you still have that one. I have it somewhere on my backup hard drive.
  10. He didn't do a lot of that in 2011. You might want to actually cheer on the team you root for instead of expecting the worst in all things.
  11. Check back in another week and we'll have those for you.

  13. All kinds of brawls in the stands too. They keep showing a bunch of unruly or drunk Mexican fans getting escorted out of the ballpark.
  14. not a bullpen we'll see during the regular season thank God. Maronde did well today.
  15. We have no use for him with Callaspo, Hall, Jimenez and down the road, Cowart in the fold.
  16. Ha. But you know, Calhoun gives us a lefty off the bench who can play all three outfield positions and 1B. I think we can keep Calhoun and Wells, no?
  17. Boom! Love this kid. Hoping he makes the roster! 4. Kole Calhoun (OF) Bats: LeftThrows: Left Height: 5’9” 190 lbs. DOB: 10/14/87 (Salt Lake/Angels): .291/.352/.488 with 14 HRs and 13 SBs Kole Calhoun quietly puts up the numbers and demonstrates all the attributes managers love in a ball player, yet he gets overlooked by scouts who are concerned his 5'10 frame leaves little for projection. Oh but big things come in small packages, right? Calhoun has posted a .309/.396/.525 slash line in 294 minor league games and made his major league debut in 2012 in a reserve outfield role. A true blue collar ball player who possesses plate discipline and professionalism, Calhoun could start the 2013 in the outfield on a lot of teams. Calhoun demonstrates solid pop and gets himself in good hitters counts with an advanced approach at the plate, enabling him to drive the ball. Kole doesn't have to worry about being platooned, as he's hit lefties as well as righties throughout his minor league career. Average speed, but takes good routes in the outfield and is a smart base runner, giving him the ability to steal 20-25 bases. Calhoun has a strong arm and can play all three outfield positions, though he profiles better in right field. Former Angels Scouting Director Eddie Bane is high on this Arizona State Sun Devil who delivered with a .321/.478/.616 slash line along with 17 homers in 224 at-bats as a senior before Bane nabbed him in the 8th round. Look for Calhoun to at least lock up a spot on the bench out of spring training for the Angels, with an outside shot at claiming the right field job should Trumbo's second half woes at the plate carry over into spring camp. There's also a chance Trumbo could be given another crack at third base, giving Calhoun a shot at the right field gig. I suspect the very worst you're going to get out of Calhoun is a solid reserve outfielder and productive pinch hitter in the big leagues.
  18. I hope we don't see many of those if any in the regular season. Pujols ruined that inning by swinging at the first pitch there.
  19. Peter Bourjos is getting me excited. Really doing a better job at working the count and getting himself in hitters counts. A triple and single so far today. Hitting extremely well this spring.
  20. Here's some stats in just a half of day of collecting from Google Analytics as far as what browsers you all are using. So far apple dominates! Browser Visits Safari - 476 Chrome - 408 Firefox 317 Internet Explorer - 223 Android Browser - 109 Opera - 13
  21. Nick, I'll find the link later of the one I bought but the reviews on it were great.. Some 4-5 months down the road who had good reviews. I did some research before picking out the one I got, so hopefully I don't experience the same problems you have. So far so good with this one. If I run into problems down the road I'll just get a couple more Samsung Galaxy III batteries like you did.
