These are the best unis ever....and the WORST

Rojas is 0-14 - Nice Story...terrible ball player. 

Mike Trout No Likey KC Stadium....but this game lies at the feet of Walsh's groin....(whatever that means...)

Halos win the series!

Guess the make up game has to be on an Eastern swing when the Jays are playing in Buffalo.

I think Albert's throw to Inglesias is still floating thru the air. Good try Stradler.....

Exactly - Albert is making me forget about Steve Garvey's putrid arm. Remember Albert's sh!t throw to Felix Pena covering first in '19? Pena had to leap to catch the dog-ass throw...landing awkwardly...blowing out his knee?

Pujols throws like a 48 year old...which...he is.

Channeling his inner Dick Dietz circa 1968

Fortunately for Drysdale, Harry Wendlestedt told Dietz to come back to the plate, or else the scoreless innings streak ends at 44+.

WE BE THAT OLD TO REMEMBER THIS INCIDENT - https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-jun-30-me-dietz30-story.html

WAIT A HOT MINUTE - Opening game - Halos rally in 8th. CLOSER BROUGHT IN: 1-2-3 Light that baby up!

GAME #2 - Maddon brings in his freaking closer down 7-6...Homer - out- single - HOOK

GAME #4 - Maddon - who attempts a 5 out save - forgot to tell him to GET THE OUT AT FIRST - his E allows Sox to tie, but Walsh did the real saving that night.

GAME #6 - Maddon brings in his freaking closer in tie-game...and we all know what happens.

CAN WE JUST USE HIM IN SAVE SITUATIONS? 4-5 out saves suck & only bring him in to protect that damn lead. 

END Rant...

Replays - Commercials during broadcasts - 4 minute commercial / promotion breaks between innings - Directors that refuse to turn off a field microphone that is right by a loud mouth fan who thinks he's (95% male) funny / witty / good trash talker. 

BREAKING NEWS: JoJo26 has declared Jared Walsh the Angels starting first baseman for the remainder of the season. Call it Wally Pipp 2.0

Albert Pujols will serve as DH only when Ohtani isn't hitting 455 foot bombs.

How about just sitting down and watching the game and eating when you get home?

I live in Ventura - left at 2:15 pm - got to the Big "A" at 5:15 pm....game over at 10:10....got home just before midnight (because I guess that Easter traffic only happens during daytime) If I lived 15 minutes instead on 90 {without traffic} that would be an excellent option. 

Food order thru the app worked for me ONLY IF THE WORKERS COULD READ THE ORDER:

Example: My order: Hot Dog with relish, onion, brown mustard; Mr. Pibb in a souvenir cup.

What I got: Hot Dog - small container of chopped onions, 2 packets of yellow mustard; Coke. 

The food is placed in a brown bag. The worker gal - after calling my name - says" Large Coke" - I say "Mr. Pibb". The lady says "Oh - they're all Coke" laughing.

I guess it was false advertising - as my Mr. Pibb tasted exactly like regular Coke. Somehow - I didn't care as I got to watch live baseball 

Among other things:

- Face coverings are required inside Angel Stadium and may only be temporarily removed when actively eating or drinking within assigned seating pods.

Angel Stadium prohibits all bags, backpacks, and other carriers from being brought into the stadium with the following exceptions:

- Small/clutch purses (4.5" x 6.5")

- Medical bags

- Diaper bags

- All transactions at Angel Stadium are cashless. Patrons with cash, can purchase gift cards at the Advanced Ticket Windows inside of Angel Stadium near the Home Plate Gate.

- Please consume food and beverage while at assigned seat.

AND MY FAVORITE: - Guests must be seated in their ticketed locations throughout the duration of the game (You're going to sit here...and like it!)

WHATEVER - I'm There Opening Night - 

Sorry if this is a repeat...but with ALL THESE FREAKING POP-UPS - I can't see straight.

Damn Chuck....

Yeah he looks clueless. 

Are we talking about his play in RF? Or at the dish?

When was he offered more money?  Uh, never.  It was an extension deal.

https://www.espn.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_/id/6889644/jered-weaver-bucks-scott-boras-advice-new-los-angeles-angels-deal 

"... left tens of millions on the table by signing 15 months before he reached free agency. He might have been able to get a deal that approaches the seven-year, $161 million contract CC Sabathia signed with the Yankees before the 2009 season...."

I believe Sosh did protest the playoff game....and I have yet to see Dougie Eddings in any playoff series since. I do recall - in one Angels regular season road game - Eddings effed up a call. Sosh asked for replay. Call got over turned. Later that SAME GAME - Eddings blew another call (at second base - if memory serves me) and once again, Sosh asks for replay.

The call was UPHELD - because to over turned Eddings TWICE IN ONE GAME would have looked really bad.

That 2nd call was way, way wrong (worse than call #1)....but MLB backed up their boy. 

FACE IT: Doug Eddings has always been a crap ump - who feels it necessary to fire the ball back to the pitcher instead of handing the ball to the catcher. Once - with Weaver on the mound - Eddings threw a "50 cent-type" throw back to the mound. Weav just glared at Eddings. I think he handed the balls to the catcher the rest of that game. 

IN CONCLUSION: Doug Eddings blows....

Let's get some fire in that dugout. J Weav.

Dude learned from Lackey about work ethic {before the Boston fried chicken party}. Dude stayed with the Halos when offered more $. 

Halos need to dump Coach dickpick - and keep it homegrown. WEAV....

once i get my stimulus check (thanks, nancy!!), i may put in a bid.

 

 

i'll only have to come up with another $34,400.

Nancy? 

Hmmmmmmmmmmm 

I wonder if he really just stepped away...or something else. After all, he did apply for the GM spot. Conflict of interest?

The later years are a bitch /Pujols

"later years" meaning 2014 - 2015 - 2016 - 2017- 2018 - 2019- 2020 - 2021? 

Let's just hope Canning gets thru this start unscathed
