Guess I'll be the apologist here.
 
37-for-41 in save chances last year.  Perfect in save opportunities in August/September.
 
Four consecutive lights-out innings in a row.  Only one baserunner in all four outings combined.
 
Breathe, people.  Breathe.  Frieri ain't pretty, but have you looked around the league lately?  Nearly every closer seems to be injured, suspect, or ejected from the role already.
 
Closers throw mistake pitches.  Shit happens.  We're 6-7 not 6-14.  Pujols is mashing, Santiago's start portends great things to come... the weak link in our rotation is Weave!  
 
Color me more optimistic than most.  Tonight smarted but it's one game.  149 to go.

I'm ok with Dipoto finishing what he started. If you keep swapping out GMs every three years your club will never have a clear direction. I would extend his contract to be a complete 5 year run then evaluate.

Cool.  Mrs. HaloFromVegas and I will see if we can make it!

Seriously.  Who is the absolute dead-last guy on the Braves depth chart.  No, not that guy... he's too good.  I would take that guy's ugly step brother who doesn't even play baseball in return, if the Braves would take Blanton and pay him the major league minimum (we pick up the rest).

The Angels are overhyped? Wouldn't that require being at all hyped?

A couple of us Angels fans here in Las Vegas were thinking of hitting Aces and Ales near Cheyenne & the 95 for opening day.
 
If anyone else is interested, please come on down, it should be a fun time.
 
This is going to be totally informal and there are zero plans to do anything other than consume bar food, watch Angels baseball and enjoy a few adult beverages.
 
So, if you're in the Las Vegas area and are interested, stop by.
