I am so saddened to read of the loss of your Dad. I met him on the old Los Angeles Times Refugee Board so many years ago. We met up for a few games together but mostly interacted on a daily basis talking about our beloved Angels. Funniest memory was when he got everyone to start using the word Sip in place of the word suck to voice displeasure about the team. This was to set a better example for his kids. You were taken way too soon "Pablo" but you will be remembered for your wit and for just being a genuine kind of guy. My sincere condolences to his Family and Friends. R.I.P.

I know a number of longer term users on this board knew my dad (who went by Pablo on here). This morning, he was going for his daily bike  ride, and he was hit by a car at Seal Beach and PCH. My understanding is that he died on site, and there was no pain. Due to the nature of the incident, they are doing a full autopsy, so I won't know the details until a couple weeks from now.
I just wanted to thank everyone here. The Angels were always a thing we bonded over, and he introduced me to this place a few years ago. This has been the starting point of countless conversations between us over the years.

OMG, I am speechless and very saddened by this news. Your dad was a great christian man.
I have known your dad since 1997 when @Angelsjunky, @Mrinsider, @Salome @Deek Beerman, Big Del and a few others met after posting on the LA Times Angels forum.
I am so so sorry for your loss, @krAbs. Just a couple years ago we all rode in your dad's car to the Cubs spring training game. 

I will be happy when the restaurant industry tires of trying to find a way to **** up another salad, steak or hamburger by mixing in Blue Cheese.

Jerry Dipoto will never get another job as a GM.
Well, maybe he will someday, but not for a long, long, time..because, really, who is going to hire some dude who quit.

People have always judged Howie not on what he was, but what they wanted him to be.   If not for Bobby Grich he would be the best 2B in franchise history and yet the perception for many is that he was this massive failure.

Woah woah woah woah.
Baseball is not important enough to ever root for the Dodgers.

In what respect? I was about to opt out of being a mod because I know I frequently cross the line.
But if you are handing over the reigns to me, then you have to let me curse like you are allowed to. Also, because I believe we all must work together I want AO to also be able to curse, mainly because I don't think he knows how. I think when his brain thinks of the F word, what his brain actually types is %#&*! Lastly, I want an INO forum. Those are my demands, either meet them or you must stick around and watch this abortion of a team try to hit a baseball and watch you and your community blame that on the manager.

Miggy's wife says he is a better hitter

Hey, lay off my Big Bang Theory.

I am way to old. I remember when Earl was painting cars for $19.95. Of course it was paint over the dents, the bugs and so on. The commercial I can't stand is the stupid bitch teenager that has wrecked Daddy's car.

I ****ing hate big game hunters. There is absolutely no reason for it besides compensating for an incredibly small penis.

I guess the fan didn't realize the rarity of a baseball that Josh Hamilton had made actual contact with.

it has nothing to do with that, and everything to do with him being completely unapologetic or taking any responsibility for his actions. 
This is about accountability, not drugs.
Not to mention being a complete baby and not having the stone to see thru his commitment here and wanted to go home.
Dont act like were all jerks for this... i dont have an issue with his drugs or his relapse, i have a huge issue with him not owning it and acknowledging nay responsibility in the matter for how he left the club.
the rest is your issue, not mine
 

Clearly it will be #5...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

They could win one game and the Angels lose one.

Angels paying for more DL stints...

Lol, Hamilton out with an injury tonight. What they're calling "lower half stiffness"...
 
somebody mix up some viagra with his blow?

After Beltre saw 4 straight balls, Hamilton came up with runners on the corners with 2 outs...
Struck out swinging on a change up in the dirt
Shocker!

I sure as shit hope he doesn't retire.  He can roll out a 120 or higher wRC+.  I hope he spends the rest of the year ramping his overall numbers to that.  I would take him being a 120 guy from here on out.  
 
He is the 3rd best hitter on the team and we have no one to replace him.  
 
Don't retire Albert.  Just strap on some balls and get it together.
