Tell me, Wraith

If you go into a rage and throw your computer through the window, and shards of glass/computer then strike random Stanford Fremont fan #1, can you be charged with:

   (1) Murder in the First Degree; or,

   (2) Voluntary manslaughter (and would this fall under provocation or extreme emotional disturbance and then the partial excuse or partial justification theory)?

At the civil trial, would you be allowed to make a case, or would you not be allowed to do so, under claim or issue preclusion?

Now, if you somehow get off of those above charges and choose to bring action against MLB.tv for the damages to your computer, how likely would a court be to grant summary judgment to MLB.tv? Could you prove their negligence, or would they be able to demonstrate that they met their Hand Formula burden?

Don't take this lightly. This is a fantastic accomplishment.

For an old-timer like me who had to endure the drought of 1987-2001, winning the division is signficant. A frustrating 15 years of futility marked by teams that either hoped, sucked, or choked, but never made the playoffs.

What a fun year so far (it's far from over)

But can’t help but feel at least part of it is accomplished! The first step!

And they said the AL West was going to be a tight race this year … HAH! Remember April when we were all worried about the Mariners?! LOL.

This next series should be a fun one …

So fun to have gotten this far with you guys … here’s to a RED OCTOBER!

I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious.

Way to go boys!

Now lets do it in October!

Write to the Angels front office. Get Tim Salmon's number 15 retired!

Rev putting up the Magic Number countdown well before September!!!

Thanks to Pattimelt for the game/celebration photos...

..couple of notes;
 - Hatcher looked trashed already!
 - Can we take Speier’s wearing of Hunter’s jersey as an acknowledgment that he is auditioning for the outfield?

WHAT A GREAT NIGHT…WHAT A GREAT SEASON…SO FAR!!!

The motto from here on should be “Let’s FINISH this celebration at the end of October!!”

Hey you! What are horse mackerel!

Exceeding expectations is less a matter of luck than possession of certain assets.

Pretty Cool.

Here in the back 1/3 of my life, and these are The Good Old Days!!!!!!!!

Francisco Rodriguez: 202 career saves. 4 career Panthers, almost 1/2 as awesome as GMJ.

i am SO pissed that i couldn't watch the celebrations take place,

but I did get to hear Terry Smith say “It’s official: The Angels have won the American League West!”

that was cool.

Kotch would've had that.

by howiestheman on Sep 10, 2008 10:36 PM PDT reply actions  

I'm watching, too...but...

want to find out where the players are hanging out…this party is certainly not over at this time of day.

by Downing Rules on Sep 10, 2008 10:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Go to...

The Goat Hill Tavern on Newport Blvd (I think—it’s basically right at the end of the 55-South). I saw Napoli, Lackey, Mathis (+girl giving him lap dance), Oliver, Quinlan, Weaver, and Moseley there after Game 3 of the ALDS last year. I’d imagine there’s lots more of them there right now—that, or apparently a place in Yorba Linda.

Light Up That Halo!

but thanks clutch. gotta work at 6am, as well.

by Downing Rules on Sep 10, 2008 11:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

you know what else was great?

to hear Lackey tell reporters how excited they were for Tex, because this is his first postseason.
our team is amazing… to embrace a guy like that after he comes over in the middle of the season speaks to the chemistry of our team

Kotch would've had that.

by howiestheman on Sep 10, 2008 10:44 PM PDT reply actions  

Tex was pretty cool, too...

trying to sidestep the issue of rolling his old franchise under the bus, yet really excited about FINALLY getting to the playoffs.

by Downing Rules on Sep 10, 2008 10:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

true

saying how he was jealous of us for 5 years, and always went home angry.

but now, he loves this city. :)

Kotch would've had that.

hahahahaha

Steve Phillips basically just said:

The Angels suck because Joe Saunders and the bullpen suck. They won’t win in the playoffs.

….douchebag

Kotch would've had that.

by howiestheman on Sep 10, 2008 10:45 PM PDT reply actions  

notice my headline to that comment

what a douche.
there’s really no other way to say it.

Kotch would've had that.

by howiestheman on Sep 10, 2008 10:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

it's hilarious how far out of the way he goes to bash us

the stupidity never ceases to amaze me

Kotch would've had that.

by howiestheman on Sep 10, 2008 10:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

i think he's still pissed about the Mo Vaughn trade

at least, that seems to be the common thought here

Kotch would've had that.

by howiestheman on Sep 10, 2008 10:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

he's a media whore

When you’re at the top, some folks will go out of their way to try to minimize your achievements. He wants the attention of being the naysayer.

I dont know if any of you are fans of South Park

But Ol Stevey-boy is up for the “Biggest Douche In The Universe” award this year. He’ll probably even beat out the Giant Douche.

But will he beat

Congrats Angels!! You earned it. Now go get that home field advantage!

I wish I had one of those 2008 Division Champs shirts…I have a good idea for a pic of me wearing only that.

Whatever dude.

On Sale

I already received an e-mail from the team noting that the shirts & hats are available for purchase.

Whoo f'ing Hooooooo! Felt soooo good to send the email out to all of my M's fans friends this morning!

I had the text msg cued up just like the Rev…pushed send as soon as the called K3yerout happened!

What a beautiful thing! Let’s go kick some playoff ass!

Whodathunk we would be rooting for a former Ranger come August...?

by K3YEROUT on Sep 11, 2008 9:50 AM PDT reply actions  

I feel like sending one to one of the M's fans I know reading simply...

“hey did the Mariners play this year? Didn’t hear anything about them….”

load the spaceship with the rocket fuel... load it with the warriors...
