Odd way of keeping score?

AnaheimHalos61 — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 03:28:42 -0000

I've always liked this piece of memorabilia. I got it signed by Scioscia, Salmon, Washburn (at spring training this year!), and Shields. The weird thing is, it keeps score on here, but it shows Kenny Lofton's last at bat flying out to center field in the 7th, when we all know Rory Markus's call(here's the pitch to lofton...). Does anyone know how to keep score this way?

Apparently the "Anaheim" part of our name still counts. Being sold on mlb shop...

Cool Retro Website

AnaheimHalos61 — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:06:15 -0000

So, I was bored on the internet the other day and i found this thing called the wayback machine. It shows older versions of current websites. I typed in mlb.com and went Oct. 28th 2002, and it was pretty awesome. I also found press conference coverage of the Mo vaughn signing XD, and tons of other cool stuff. The oldest angels website is from 98, but if you type in the dodgers in goes all the way back to 1996!

Manny's a Dodger

AnaheimHalos61 — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:04:09 -0000

According to an AP source, yahoo.com says the dodgers and ramirez have agreed on a 2 year, 45 million dollar contract. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-dodgers-ramirez&prov=ap&type=lgns

What do you guys think of this(though it was inevitable)?

I thinkwith a full year in the NL(without him being manny or injured at all) he could hit somewhere close to .380.

Scott Boras is Ruining Baseball

AnaheimHalos61 — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 03:35:56 -0000

Okay, maybe I'm stating the obvious, but who else in the game has ticked you off more than this guy? Mr. Boras routinely makes average ball players who are nice guys look like greedy money hogs, and in this economy, it especially does not look good for them.

The Angels (and no doubt other teams) are tired of his selfish tactics.

I suppose he does what an agent is supposed to do , but isnt he going a bit far?

he may have ruined the angels chances at tex, too.

Japan's Kawakami?

AnaheimHalos61 — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:33:24 -0000

Yahoo Japan has reported that we are interested in Kenshin Kawakami, a 33 year old right hander from Japan. The article from the Angels website says he has the best cut fastball in Japan, and has won the Sawamura Award, which is basically a Cy Young. I think we should take a chance on him. It says he would probably cost about 6-7 million, almost half of what Garland cost us (12 million) last year.

Here's a video too. I'm not sure what it says or what language they speak in it because the sound is broken on my computer...

Happy Thanksgiving! :^)

AnaheimHalos61 — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 05:13:30 -0000

Hello All,

Know this is a little late, but i hope everyone had a happy and safe thanksgiving. What are you most thankful for, in life and to do with the angels? What is your favorite thanksgiving memory? And finally, what is a tradition you do every year that is unique. (my family goes to see a movie). Hope everyone had a wonderful and stuffed Turkey day.

God Bless,

AH 61

Brandon Connette?

AnaheimHalos61 — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:51:05 -0000

Brandon Connette, quarterback for Corona Santiago, should be on our radar. This kid is for real. Not only did he pass for 1108 yards and 10 touchdowns(eleven picks), but he ran for 750 yards and 10 touchdowns. As shown in this video, he is good at evading trouble and making something out of it. His INT rate may be a little bit high, but at least 4 of those interceptions came in one game. He is a junior.
