It's AM 830
When are they not playing some kind of forclosure or debt-relief commercial?
Between that and the signal being overtaken by some worship station down here in SD half of the time, my commute is pretty interesting sometimes. Thankfully, it’s only about 20 minutes long.

if a radio station is on the air, but nobody listens to it, does it truly exist?

I think that's a zen koan, not so much Confucius.
Good question though. The lead guy has the personality of plasterboard, and his topic can be completely covered in about 20 minutes.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
confucius. zen koan. hideki matsui.
what me worry?

I need to write a letter to TIm Mead
I’m a First Amendment absolutist, and it’s Arte’s station to do whatever the heck he want with. But I would point out that the “Top Gun” DUI guy and the “Ridin’ Dirty” bit are… for a lack of a better word… tacky.

Im not really sure how that gets on their air.
Im really curious about other programs they declined, before they green lighted that masterpiece.

Michael Savage?
Hey-o…he IS off 830 now, right? IIRC?

They should play his walk-on music, "Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult

That'd be sweet. Do you know if that was really his walk-up music in NY?
On another note, one of the first things I thought about was the classic rock connections of the last two big acquisitions: Matsui(Godzilla) and Kazmir(Kashmir). Now if only the Angels would sign a rad closer with the last name Highwaystar, my life would be complete.
Whatever dude.

That's what it says in his Wiki page.
And his personal translator’s name is Roger Kahlon. We will probably get to know him.

I love that! Definitely going to be a crowd pleaser.

No
No, but it does mean that sushi might become popular. Panda Express=Chinese, Sushi= Japanese

As Meat Loaf once poetically put it
2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
Maybe its not so bad
After two days of venting, I can be a little more philosophical about this. Matsui is relatively low risk, doesn’t tie down the team and still has gas in his tank. He can be a good middle of the order type of hitter.
Moreover, if the Angels can parlay the money that they did not spend on Lackey or Figgins and use it for a front line pitcher (who?), than maybe this won’t be that bad.
Although Matsui is old and slow, much like Vlad, at least he has a higher baseball IQ. He probably won’t run into as many outs on the basepaths. Vlad seemed to have the unique ability to get thrown out at second or third at the worst possible times.
If you feel that all of this is a load of garbage, please work with me, I’m trying to be optimistic.

Ben Sheets
Would be my first choice.
Bedard or Garland would not upset me either.

save the money
We have four top-of-the-line starters still on the staff for this year—enough for the playoffs. Those guys are going to be wanting more money in the next few years. Save the cash for Weav, Saunders, and ?. Look past this year, folks.

Good left-handed bat for playoffs in Fenway or the Yankee Stadium Launching Pad
Meanwhile, Lackey looks funny wearing a Boston hat..
I am fan various years ago.
Matsui is clutch and epic
Unlike dear ol’ Vlade, Godzilla has come through in the clutch innumerable times over the years, and his last Series game was epic. Reminds me of Reggie Jackson vs. the Dodgers in—what was that—‘77? In fact this whole deal reminds me of our pick-up of Reggie in—what was that—’82? (When I became an Angel fan after moving out here in ’79.)
He tried
but he flopped too much getting out of the way of the fastball….and went back to basketball…
