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.

Justin Speier
For me, Justin Speier’s song should be – No Expectations. But that’s just me…

Rolling Stones have an extremely popular song by that name
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Sep 1, 2008 12:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
i pledge alliegance... to mike Scioscia

and to each pennant and ring we are sure to win.

Very underrated song.

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!

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
