I've been an Angels fan for the entirety of my life, from when I went to spring training games in Palm Springs, where I grew up, to taking my young sons to the camp in AZ... I've had tickets, bought suites for games, the whole freaking deal... and I'm done, completely done, with the idiotic nature of the Halo's front office.  Now I understand that Scioscia had some issues with Napoli... maybe he looked too much like Mike to Mike, but, either way, someone has to get the idiot patrol that is Tony Reagins under control and keep he and Moreno from totally destroying the team, or, maybe Scioscia is just jockeying for the "best manager" title in MLB history... he deserves it if this team finishes 1 game over .500 in the 2011 season... this may be the WORST Halo team EVER, and yeah, I'm including the ones that wore that stupid periwinkle blue pinstripe clown costume of a uniform.

Well, in what might be GREAT news for the Halos, CC Sabathia will sign with the Yankees; so says the New York Post.  Now they should be able to sign Tex, however, he is now leaning towards the BoSox....  We'll just have to see if the Halos get shut out of all of the top free agent signings.  The best pitcher now on the market is definitely Peavy, however, it looks like he'll go to the Cubs.

Well, it's good to be back....finally, both in my house and watching games/online again...Big News Below....

Okay, so, here's the deal, it's about time for a start of the season get together, what do you think?

It's obvious that everyone, including Mike Scioscia, is towing the MLB line about the World Baseball Classic, he won't say that it hurt Colon at all. Colon's stats from the WBC were:
14IP, 1R, 13H, 2BB, 7K, 191P, 107S, 3G
for those of you that are counting, thats a measly 0.64 ERA, and 1.071 WHIP
In addition, his current personal trainer is of "questionable" background and was the Puerto Rican team's trainer as well.

What do you think, WBC = Pitcher Destroying Joke?

the LAT is reporting that Bowden asked for one of the following:
Lackey, Santana, Weaver
AND
Kendrick or Wood

I have a link and the full copy from ESPN on Soriano here.
Jim Bowden MUST be out of his mind, hope he doesn't mind not getting anything for Sori, who'll be a free agent at the end of the year anyway.

Impromptu blogging get-together for more tomfoolery.  Location TBD(SlideBar in Fullerton maybe), time (6:30ish).  Reply to me via email or here if interested, expect more details posted here.  So far ladybug is interested, anyone else???

S

BTW, props to the Halos if they really DFA WTE
Now if we could get a stick and start hitting....

We're confirmed...for tomorrow, at 6:30 for the 6:40 game.  If you haven't sent me an email confirming, let me know, I want to have enough space for everyone.  We're meeting at Danny K's in Orange.  We're looking forward to meeting everyone, it's always entertaining to put a face to a name.  In addition, if this goes well perhaps we can do it once a month, or so, if people are interested.

S

Come have some beverages and meet your fellows while the Halos are out of town.
