New hot rivalry: Rangers vs. Angels
The latest on the East West Coast Bias in sports media...
"No matter how many tickets they sell, no matter how many headlines they generate, the Red Sox and Yankees just aren’t as interesting as they used to be. But baseball is lucky. Two fresh franchises have come to the fore.
Meet the Rangers and Angels — the most interesting rivalry in the game this year."

Did you see VW and his .218 avg. on Clippers Live tonight? The Clips are in Dallas tonight, so I guess he's hanging with Mr. Hunter.

KR's latest including: Mike Trout on X-Factor (didn't know he could sing) and the Angels "DH problem"
"The Angels' surplus of first base/DH types isn't exactly a problem, but if all the candidates are healthy, at least one trade seems inevitable before Opening Day."
If I was Kendrys, I'd start walking around with a limp.
Our friends over at the Ravine just can't catch a break. First James Loney and now this.

SPRING FORWARD!
Welcome to a momentary distraction from the cold, dreary, winter looming before us. The Angels just announced Spring Training 2012 packages. Anybody here making plans to go?
My wife and I went last year and had a great time. Considering the current state of the economy though we may need to consider with a little more thought.
Luc for GM!
Luc Olhava-Henderson has autism, but heck it sounds like the kid really knows the team and the game. He's my pick for GM :)

Chopper + Story-time + Animals = FUN!
My friends at OC Parks asked me to spread the word on this. Have you ever fantasized about Angels Pitcher Rich Thompson talking about animals and reading aloud to you? (Don't deny it). Well here's your chance....

The Big A is a Zoo!
Just in case some of you nature geeks didn't make it out to the stadium today.
At the risk of sounding like a corporate shill, I wanted to let everyone know that the 40% off jersey sale is going on at the Angels Team Store until 7/3. Just picked up a pair of authentic retro jerseys for a song. One for me and one for the Missus. My "Morales" jersey was originally $122 (now $74) and my wife's "Weaver" jersey was originally $85.00 (now $51). These are the real deal!

Just had lunch at Yorkshire Grill in downtown LA. I'm thinking that the owner is a closet Halo fan. Chopped liver? That about says it all.

Andrew Gallo Sentenced to 51 Years-to-Life

on Halos Heaven
Andrew Gallo, the driver who killed Angels’ pitcher Nick Adenhart has been sentenced to 51 years-to-life in prison. In addition to Adenhart, Gallo killed Adenhart’s friends Courtney Frances Stewart and Henry Pearson and critically injured a fourth victim, Jon Wilhite.
I’m not sure how sentencing goes in California, but in jurisdictions I’m familiar with, when you get an "X-years-to-life" sentence, you have to serve at least the X-years part. It’s when you’re merely given a term of years (e.g. "51 years") that earlier parole is available. I’ll update how it will work in Gallo’s case when I can track it down.

"Those employed by Frank McCourt have been noticeably uncomfortable when asked in recent days about Vladimir Shpunt, the 71-year-old Russian healer who was paid by the Dodgers owner and his estranged wife to send positive energy to the team from his Boston-area home."
