"To the rich go the spoils." -Teix

-Mark Teixeira in the LA Times, trying to justify the Yankees win by citing values from the Middle Ages. Of course, his misquote (it should be "to the victor go the spoils") makes the already brutal and archaic saying even worse.

Pettitte has a cold or is on coke

I just watched an interview with Andy Pettitte on MLB network. He sniffled about 20 times during the interview. Is he feeling the flu shit that's going around? Is he working the White Lines that Grandmaster Flash warned us about? Either way, I'm feeling confident that Colonel Joe Saunders will get it done in New Yawk. Fuck all those ESPN pundits who said this series won't go to a game 7. THIS IS HOW THE HALOS ROLL.

Angels Fan in Afghanistan

Nice piece on an Army lieutenant serving in the 'Stan and following the Angels.

HH in SF Friday

yeswecan — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:21:46 -0000

I will be in San Francisco on Friday, watching the game at The Dubliner in Noe Valley (near the 24th & Church J Muni stop). I'm pretty sure the game will be on (it has a TV in the smoking patio and is always packed with sports fans), and it should start early enough before the big local crowd arrives. They have internet access, so maybe I'll bring my computer and hit the Game Thread like a total and complete nerd. Please join me!

Just look for the beautiful girl in this photo -- she will be with the Angel fan seen here with her in Yanker Stadium earlier this year when the fucking game rained out and I couldn't come back to NY to see the make-up game. Grrrr!

A wild game of Who Can Pitch Worse ended with the Los Angeles Angels winning that dubious contest.

John Lackey finally received some run support, as the Angels opened up a 9-2 lead in the 4th on a string of singles followed by Bobby Abreu's 2-run home run. But Lackey struggled, giving up 6 runs in 5 innings. Even so, he was still on track for the win until Darren Oliver surrendered the tying run on a wild pitch in the 6th inning.

Gary Matthews Jr. came through in the 7th with a single that scored Howie Kendrick to put the Angels ahead. But then in the 8th inning, Kurt Suzuki singled off Jason Bulger to tie the game, and then the A's broke the game open, capped by Mark Ellis' 3-run home run to put the A's out of reach.

LET'S GO HALOS!

I'll be in NYC to see the Halos

yeswecan — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:39:05 -0000

I will be in the new stadium representing Halos Heaven on Sunday when our Angels take on the Yankers. My girlfriend is afraid I'm going to get us mugged, but the last time I saw the Angels in the Bronx in '96 I only got a few "Hey whydoncha go baaack to Anaheeeeiiim!" catcalls because of my Disney-winged Halos visor.

I think I'll leave my "If Yous A Yank, Yous A Skank" poster at home, but if anyone has any suggestions for good ways to use my time in NYC, I'd appreciate any advice from this blog (cough, cough).
