Ervin Santana throws 60 pitches in a good outing, and other Angel related news.

..And the Rams are on the clock.

The Lions have agreed to a six year deal with quarterback Matt Stafford, with reportededly 41.7M in guaranteed money. The Rams are officially on the clock, and the Draft is only hours away. Is anyone else besides me anxious? Part of me wants to see a playmaker like Curry, but the other part wants to see a solidified offensive line that can lay the foundation for the offense. Let's hope the new management behind the Rams makes the right pick.

Favorite Non-Anaheim Moment

Well, this time of year is terribly slow for baseball, with spring training games just on the Horizon.

What a great time to ask you what your favorite baseball moment is outside of Angel Stadium (actually being there).

Mine actually happened in a trip up to San Francisco, on vacation with some of my family. Being the person I am, I knew that the Angels were in town, and persuaded my family to go. I even persuaded some Canadians that I didn't know to go. Anyway, I was in the ballpark of the A's, what a trashpit it was, and the Angels were tied with them in the 9th inning with k-rod on the mound. Jason Kendall was on first base and I believe it was a 1-2 count. K-Rod throws his nasty breaking ball that should have been called a strike and ended the game, umpire blows the call. K-rod is clearly disgusted and lets the umpire know. Whoever the catcher was at the time threw the ball back to K-rod, who was still pissed, and K-rod lazily drops the ball. Kendall seizes the opportunity and scores ending the game. Not exactly the brightest moment for Angels fans, but hilarious none the less.

Apparently he baffles hitters, which includes Ryan Howard.

Manny makes most sense

Rob Neyer says he thinks Manny makes the most sense for the Angels...is there a chance in hell?

Proof of the Red Sox Media Bias

Upon visiting the ESPN website after news broke about the Angels pulling their offer from Teixeira, I came across this little gold mine.

This story couldn't possible be labeled under the Angels.

Let's analyze the thinking behind this a little bit...

ESPN: Hey look the Angels pulled their offer from Mark Teixeira

Other ESPN employee: Now which team does this concern most?

ESPN #1: Well, what is always the answer to that question...the Red Sox of course!
