"I just don't see that playing time for Maicer Izturis, because Kendrick is going to get 800 at-bats"

ESPN Fantasy profile of Howie Kendrick. Nothing all that new, but its always interesting to see what ESPN analysts think of Halos.

"I will not sign Barry Bonds." (damn right)

"I was ready to cross that line..." (pertaining to voiding GMJs contract because of steroid use)

"Long term we have to continue to educate our kids." (is he running for Miss America)

- Arte Moreno, CostasNOW

Old news... but every time the boss man is on TV, its worth watching.

Further reason to love our amazing owner.

May he own our beloved Halos for years and years to come.

Go Angels!

Angels History

BruinHalo — Sat, 31 May 2008 18:24:47 -0000

So after reading the article about BoSox bandwagoners, I feel a distinct shame in that despite growing up in OC and cheering at early/mid-90s Angels games, I know very little about Angels history. Yeah, I'm only 20 (that wasn't THAT long ago right, old guys?), but if a random ESPN journalist were to ask me to name the only Angel to win the batting title (which I have since learned was Alex Johnson in 1970 with a .329 avg), I would have been unable to do so. And so, my question is this:

Outside of straight up memorization of every man on that top 100 list, what's the best way of bettering my knowledge of Angel lore? Are there are books on this? Documentaries? Crotchety old men I can talk to that can reflect on the good old days?

All help is appreciated.

Single Game Tickets

This may have been previously asked (I check pretty often and I can't recall it being asked) but when are single game tickets available? We gotta scoop up those Yankee/Sox tickets quick. It's !(cool) when that happens.
I'm pretty bored sitting here in computer science and !(cool) means "not cool" Anyway, I'm stretching for character limit and would like to share that I find it ridiculous that C++ uses the same English words we use to describe something completely different. Pretty damn confusing.
