Matt Thaiss ‏@Matt_Thaiss  9m9 minutes ago Officially a member of the @Angels organization. Excited to start the journey!
 

F yeah!

Angels ‏@Angels 1m1 minute ago Present meets future. #Angels 3rd round draft pick, Nonie Williams, took in some #HalosBP this afternoon.
Mike Trout

This might be our best draft since 2009. 

0-4 tonight.  
F'n eppler.  

I hear his swing is kind of Quinlanesque. 

so now Matt Thaiss sounds like mathis and his bat reminds of CJ cron.  If someone says he looks like brandon wood I'm gonna quit.  

Matt Thais being Mathis is probably the single funniest thing I've ever ever read on this site, and that includes fleshlight.  
Also, just watching him tonight, Holy Mary Mother of God.  This kid is STRONG.  I haven't seen someone come through Orem with the ability to hit the ball with that much authority since C.J. Cron.  At least in the early going that's what it seems. 

Deserves his own thread
3-5 with 2 doubles, hr and 4 rbi.  
 

Vin Scully is what is right about baseball. 

Good way to get fans to the park

The baseball Gods must give us the resurgence of Lincecum for giving us Kazmir's shit years.

This team can't even tank correctly.
 
I love Linecum tho. Glad to have him.

if you'd have said tears for fears, i would have 'liked' your post twice.

Great post.

Thanks Lou for th look back.
ST is very different for me now.
I miss our arguments over food, who's driving, why I didn't get the "right'" pic of him, him killing the battery on my lap top, which strip club is better than the other....and of course our discussions on Angels baseball....THAT I miss most...baseball is not the same for me now. I spent over twenty five years talking and living Halos Baseball with Mike....I miss it, and him, dearly.
 
Hope all at Angels Win are well, This is a very unique and special place.

Damn, D. A couple days ago I was cleaning out a bunch of emails, pics, etc from my PC and came across a pic of Percy I took of him as we both stood outside the main entrance to Big A before the first home game following Adenhart's death. Everyone took a moment to just look at the tributes fans had left as they walked into the stadium. Looking back, I don't even remember saying a word to him. We just walked up to each other with that blank stare everyone had at the time and slowly shook our heads.
I looked through some old threads and came across this ( for those who didn't know him, this will show in a small way the man we all miss) :

I miss him. Cancer is a POS.

Just as a personal aside, and when Mike reads this he may start to feel uncomfortable, but at this point, I don't care.  I have seen the way that Mike speaks of this online community.  He absolutely beams when the name Angelswin comes up.  This place, and the people that inhabit it, mean the world to him.  Every time we talk, and I mean every time we talk, the subject of Angelswin comes up.  Mike is a diehard Angels fan, as I am, and Mike was the one that introduced me to this website and the community, and I thank him for it.
 
Thank you, everyone, for your support of Mike throughout the years.  Yes, we all know that Mike is a bit of an odd-bird, but one who is, despite any rough exterior he may have, one of the kindest, gentlest most giving people that I have ever known in my life and someone who I am proud to have been able to call a true friend throughout the years.
 
Thank you all, Angelswin.  Thank you all once again for bringing joy into Mike's life, and by proxy, into my own.
