How odd
Because every time Robb Quinlan was in the lineup over Casey Kotchman, I found myself thinking, “Well, you can’t always get what you want.”
And it’s too bad that Jose Guillen isn’t still on our team, though I don’t think there would be very much sympathy for that devil.

Rolling Stones have an extremely popular song by that name

i dont know why i think this
but i always thought that morrisey sounded like mick jagger, maybe its because i dont really listen to the stones or morrisey but when i heard the songs on the radio i was always thrown off by the two, and not knowing who was actually singing

The funny thing about the GMJ section...
..there are so many other appropriate titles (All Mixed Up, Back to Zero, Gotta Get Away, etc).
One final note...
My favorite lyrics from a Stones tune, “…There’s fever in the funk house now…” from Tumblin’ Dice could apply to this Angel’s season!
if they were snoop dogg songs:
ga-lodi dodi
dondo-neva have 2 worry

q-back up off me
juan-i believe in you
krod-can’t say goodbye
srod-ups and downs
ervin-bring it on
saunders-my heat goes boom
shields-one chance (make it good)
speier-oh no
teixeira-serial killa
weaver-issues
willits-hustle and ball
wood-who am i (whats my name)?
"Life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end."
Jose Guillen and "Cocksucker Blues"
off the Exile on Main St. album of course.
You ever feel as if your mind had started to erode?
I was DJing at a bar last night
while watching the end of Angel game, this post came to mind, so I had to throw some Stones on.
Thanks for the inspiration
