Weekend Halolinks: First Edition, Signed Copy, Rare

in Angels Rumors And Links
on Halos Heaven
Hello all, and welcome to your brand-spanking new Weekend Halolinks. As you can see by my name above, I am linkbruin. No I am not dead--despite my nonappearance around these parts for the last few months. Thank you for your concern. Long story short, life got real around these parts. But hey, that's all taken care of now.
The first weekend Halolinks might be a little rough around the edges, but I promise you it's only going to get better/more awesome/please just love me.
Since news is naturally a little slower heading into the weekend, there won't be as much Angels talk. I'm going to involve some pop culture, other sports, and just other interesting news and noteworthy items. If you have any suggestions for topics or cool links you find that might not fit in during the week, shoot me an email (it's on my bio page), and we can get the ball rolling on this stuff.
And with that, let's get to the links:

Angels Win 2-1 In Rainy, Fan-less Miami

in Angels Postgame

The game started a little late in a rainy Miami and no one was there to watch it (4000 in attendance); however, despite the rain, it was a similar story to all other Angels games this year--strong pitching, non-existent offense.
Interesting take on McCourt ownership situation, or the Dodgers are just a shell corporation
Yeah it's a Yankee's blog that's affiliated with ESPN, but this is a great read on the sinking ship that is the McCourts' ownership of the Dodgers. There is a really interesting flow-chart about halfway down the page that describes how the McCourts separated operation of the Dodgers into 20 separate entities. I imagine this is a pretty standard corporate model, but it is still very convoluted. This chart also brings to light the nightmare scenario that when Selig repossesses the Dodgers, McCourt might be able to still own the ticket/parking business he created and he would still own the land as well. The Dodgers, as they are now, are just "a shell consisting of player contract liabilities." The whole thing is interesting/mind-boggling/should-be-criminal.

1-1 going into the 8th.
Howie activated from DL, Willits optioned down to SLC.
Howie to start in LF tonight
From Mike DiGiovanna on Twitter:
"Howie Kendrick has never played OF in pro ball but is unfazed about start in LF for #Angels tonight: 'I'm not going to stress about it.'"
Tonight's lineup:
Aybar SS/Abreu DH/Izzy 2B/Hunter RF/Kendrick LF/Callapso 3B/Trumbo 1B/Mathis C/Bourjos CF

Angels Shut Out And Blown Out By White Sox
by linkbruin on May 10, 2011 12:37 AM EDT

on Halos Heaven
The White Sox have been described as an unlucky team by many national pundits thus far in the season. A quick glance at their record and the (hitting) talent on their roster, and one would probably agree with the pundits for once. The White Sox were anything but luckless tonight blowing out and shutting out the Angels tonight 8-0.

The game might have taken two hours to start and the weather might have threatened to freeze the Angels out, but the Halos looked red hot today.

Are the Angels overusing their Aces?
I don't entirely agree with everything Saxon writes in the article, but he does raise an important question: is Scioscia overusing Weaver and Haren? The Angels will probably only go as far as Weaver/Haren can carry them, and should Scioscia be so reliant on them at an early stage in the season? I personally think you gotta do what you gotta do to win; however the season is verrrry long.

The game is tied going into the 10th. Gubi probably says it best here: "At the end of the day, you just have to score more runs than the other team."

Dan Haren pitching like a beast. Our bats are making Jeff Francis look like a beast.
This new thread is the mojo our bats need before the game is handed off to the bullpen.
