LOL I voted for the last one thinking noone had voted on it.

BUT I actually want JUANCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and his hot bat (which he sniffs everytime he makes any kind of contact) playing EVERY DAY!!!!!

I have been a Juancho fan ever since he got here and have been waiting for him to start playing on a regular basis ever since he healed his broken leg

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're missing an option:

No, I’ve sold HGH to Gary again so he can play like he did in 2006

The other three options are jokes, right?

Radio Broadcast

Rory & Terry reported that the Soth had a sit-down with GMJr. today, and told him that for the next couple of weeks at least, Rivera is the 3rd OF.

the article on the Angels website has Sosh saying that GMJ “needs a blow”. I think he must be blowing the skipper to get that kind of treatment! I just hope Sosh was being polite, and that this is it for HGH. I just hope that JR rakes so much that Sosh can’t bench him.

I laughed at that, too...

T.V. broadcast too

Phys said Sosh told GMJ they are “going to give Rivera a longer look.” That was the best news I heard since, well since the A’s traded Harden and Goudin.

I swear, if one more person tells me to "work smarter, not harder"...

this is getting ridiculous!

we should be running away with the effing division right now, but instead we are letting the rest of the division stick with us! time to pull our heads out of our asses and bench HGHjr let Juan n’ gone play!

time to bring up a closer (im not saying F-rod blows, im thinking of the future). maybe even pull off a trade at the deadline for a bat. lets do this

GO ANGELS!!!!!
