Orlando Cabrera

The wizard of O.C. is still the Wizard of O.C. in my books. I read the story last night too and got a little sad. He thinks Mike Scioscia is the BEST MANAGER in baseball hands down, no competition.

He reminds me of an animal in a shelter where he had a home with he loved then got abandoned and taken into an alright home. The story made me remember about Tod (the fox) in The Fox and the Hound when they take him to the game preserve.

Song
“We met, it seems, such a short time ago
You looked at me – needing me so
Yet from your sadness
Our happiness grew
And I found out I needed you too
I remember how we used to play
I recall those rainy days
The fire’s glow
That kept us warm
And now I find – we’re both alone
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart is a memory
And there you’ll always be”

I am also compelled to post my sheer astonishment in response to your analogy and offer my heartfelt condolences. I sincerely hope that the “fire’s glow keeps you warm in these rainy days.” :D

Seriously though, do you have the song lyrics committed to memory, or did you cut and paste them? Hilarious!

turns into an Acuda bashing contest! Comedy!

and the Angels were good to Cabrera but in the end he was simply in the way of too many up and comers. Aybar is a better fielder at SS and may well end up being better with the bat as well, if he isn’t already. Behind Aybar you’ve got Wood and Rodriguez who will both be ML ready real soon. Picture the Angels with a homegrown infield of Kotchman, Kendrick, Aybar and Wood with Brown, Rodriguez and Morales as backups. I can see this happening by next year, with still more homegrown players on the roster.

Catcher, of course, Napoli and Mathis with Wilson knocking at the door. Pitchers: Weaver, Santana, Saunders, Lackey, KRod, Shields, Adenhart, O’Day, Green and Arredondo. OF: Willits, Evans and Morales (again). I’d like to see an OF of Figgins, Hunter and Rivera with Willits, Evans and Morales as backups and Vlad at DH. By next year we could have a 25 man roster with about 90% homegown talent.
