  1. LB, if it takes 20/20 to do a 9:00 piece to either A) open your eyes to the issues of our country or show you that there are good people all around, I think you need to spend a little more time out in public. If you're observant enough you will see the good in people all the time, whether it is someone who allows the older gentleman ahead of him in line at the barber shop or the person that gives up their seat to a woman on public transportation. I don't need ABC to come up with a contrived situation of actors to alert me to the plight of our down and out or show me that people are compassionate.
  2. Gotta go with Nate on this one. I need visine my eyes are so dry from staring at the screen for 9:00.
  3. The most famous thing Billy is famous for is having F*** face written on his knob of his bat. Pass on pimp's idea.
  4. 2013 Callaspo = 2012 Wells. Lucho 2013 = Trout 2012?
  5. Way to crap on a dude who is raking. The angels pitching still gets 27 outs (or 24). So not everyone is killing it against us.
  6. Solid agreement with the Juice bar here. Langston is refreshing. We need more of this honesty. I like seeing that Langston is a bit more honest and passionate about the position of the team. I've never liked the idea of the Angels controlling what the announcers say (no lifetime, I don't have any corporate memos dictating such) but its nice to see victor take a rip every now and then at the team too.

  8. Shell, what a very special story you shared. My grand-aunt was a die-hard Cubs fan. Growing up in the 70s I counted on a package from Chicago every birthday and xmas. While she didn't have a lot of money, she'd manage to send me a Cubs sticker and something biblical every holiday. She too suffered from dementia, and it tore my heart out. She went into assisted living in her mid 80s and died 2 years ago at 98. Your mom, like my Aunt, is the best kind of fan. Undying loyalty and a passion for every player and every season, regardless of win-loss record. In the days where the majority of fans are either fantasy statistic obsessed or those who use social media to bitch about their teams, there will always be the fan like your mother. The Angels may not be clear in her mind, but they are enormous in her heart. The fact that she brought you up in that environment is awesome. Hopefully you can decorate her room with some Angels mementos so that every once a while, the spark in her mind will fire up for the Angels.
  9. I do agree that it appears we have no leadership. Not even sure who that guy would be. That's a lot to put on Trout's shoulders. Pujols and Hamilton don't want it. Maybe Weaver.
