Angels on Jack HD?

While listening to Biggsy on the Drive tonight, I thought he said that Angels games would be simulcast on Jack FM HD. I can't find confirmation anywhere, but if true, it's good news for those who are out of good 830/980 reception area and who have an HD radio receiver.

The Angels spotted the rest of the American League West six weeks. Their starting rotation was in disarray, their bullpen was a disaster, their defense was spotty and their power was nonexistent.

The division had its chance. Nice try.

Nice Try AL West
The lead-in to Bill Shaikin's story on the 5-4 win is possibly the best thing I've ever read about the Halos in the Times

Looks like the Angels might be signing Seanez, who pitched for the Phils last year.

Halos Heaven March Madness

red floyd — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:24:06 -0000

For those who didn't know, there is a Halos Heaven March Madness pool over at Yahoo! This is for fun only, not for ca$h.

You can find it here. The password is halos2002. I believe that you may be required to open a Yahoo! account, but I'm not sure.

Come on guys, so far there are only three of us in that pool. Where are the rest of you?

Sincerely,

red floyd, pool commisioner.

John Henry calls for a Salary Cap

John Henry calls for a Salary Cap

When the owner of the BoSox calls for a salary cap, isn't that a bit like Barry Bonds calling for a ban on steroids?
