A sincere thanks to LSB

I'm a fan of the Angels, and have visited your site a few times in the past. But, now I enter, not as a rival, but as a person offering sincere thanks to all of you who have given words of encouragement, and heartfelt support in our time of need. The response to the tragedy and loss of life here has been phenomenal, and not gone unnoticed at Halos Heaven. many, myself included, have decided to personally thank all of our friends and well wishers, with our deepest thanks and love, for the love given and best wishes received. It is unfortunate that the best humanity has to offer, is only shown when we as a people are in dire need. Once again, from the bottom of our hearts and souls at Halos Heaven, thank you for the love and compassion.

I posted a musing at cbssportsline.com(under the name socal909) if just winning the west or getting bounced in the ALCS is acceptable. I mean, of course as Angel fans we want to win the series, but have we become spoiled due to recent successes? I have been a lifelong fan of the Angels, and any other diehards would agree we were socals redheaded step child for a long,long time. Its just since '02, we have become major players in the world of MLB. I remember a time when the very notion of making the playoffs,let alone winning a series(or ring)seemed almost impossible. Have we become so accustomed to winning ways that we don't appreciate the big picture? Is just making the playoffs considered a good season? Or is it a case of win it all or bust?

SLOW DAYS(AND NIGHTS)

Hola from the I.E. Another night on graveyard duty, are there any fellow halo heaven brethren, or sistren(is that even a word)out there? What if anything is a compelling sports story? Or, should we just focus on Super Tuesday and voting? What the HELL should I do with the rest of my day(or what would be your night) any relavent sports topics and discussions are eluding me, as of right now. Here's a quick question. Is Britney Spears still hot? Or just crazy? Am I the only one , that still thinks Brit is hot? I LOVE CRAZY WOMEN, JUST ASK MY EX WIFE!!!!!!!

Who do ya love to hate?

I am sure this question has been posed many times before, but as we head into the 08 season, which teams do you, as fellow Angels fans truly loathe, the chisox hold a infamous place in my heart(due mostly to the playcalling of Eddings)as does the tribe, I was there at the Big A, when we lost to Cleveland 11-0, after Bart pitched a gem. What made that game worse was the fact we were the featured game of the week on ESPN after the stadium face lift. I was also witness to El Duques premier at the Big A, so again it must be asked, WHO DO YOU LOVE TO HATE???

Just pondering.....

Heading in to the 08 season, of all the teams that made it to the postseason, and those who are expected to make the postseason, who is most likely to flame out, or surprise the league? Will it be the same old, same old, or will there be new contestants in the upcoming season? Looking forward to fellow halo heaven input.

What would you do?

halofolife — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 07:28:00 -0000

A few days ago I posted the scenario of Brandon Inge at 3B, and was brutally rebuffed, if you were GM for a day, what would you do? Re-sign Frankie? Make a trade to solidify our holes at SS, or3B, or none of the above? Waiting for your responses fellow halo brothers & sisters. What would you do? P.S.

Inge, anyone

halofolife — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:23:29 -0000

What are the chances, if any of landing Brandon Inge since it was a strike and a miss with MigCab, what could we, and should we, give up to get him? Or are there better options out there?

INGE ANYONE?
