Los Angeles Hideki Matsui of Anaheim

not to see him in a Yankee uniform..this my take a while to get used to haha

Bring on the Popeye Theme song.

gross.. no offense to matsui, but I woulda much preffered that to be Vlade.

This picture of matsui is nothing but writting on the wall for vlade, i wouldnt hold it against vlade if he signed with the mariners, baseball loyalty is dead.

Till I saw Matsui’s stats against Lefties. 13 HR in 131ab with a .618 slg pct. Wow.

I thought the short front porch in RF at Yank stadium contributed to Matsui’s numbers. He hit more HR’s in less ab’s and did significantly better in all offense categories AWAY from Yank stadium. Guess the Zoo that is Yankee home games had a negative affect on Matsui.

Vlad should have took what we offered. He can hardly walk. That’s his fault (I was for getting Vlad back).

Go Matsui!

I like this signing. Matsui doesn’t roll two nearly as much as Vlad does.

that much. At least he did’nt get traded for some fat floosy that Phi Slamma wanted.

So I’ll just drop it here…

Just like all of you, I’ve been following what’s been going on this week with the Angels. I’ve gone back-and-forth on how I feel about the loss of John Lackey. I’ve waivered on the circumstances of the rumored Roy Halladay acquisition and the possible loss of other Angel players. I’ve gotten pissed off at the additions the Mariners made, especially one of last season’s Angel all-stars, while the front office seems to do nothing. But then I remembered this is an organization that knows what its doing and has proven it repeatedly.

When looking at things, not just Angel things, but almost everything in my life, the analytical side of my mind tries to come up with analogizes to help explain to the emotional side of my mind what’s going on. The analogy that keeps running through my mind for this week is automobiles.
  
My analytical mind tells me to think of the Angels as a BMW. Not the big expensive 7-series, or the least expensive 3-series, but rather a well equipped 5-series. A first-class ride, at a more affordable price. The New York Rolls Royces and the Boston Benzs are filled with high priced extravagances that the Beamer doesn’t need. A $17 million dollar cup holder? Why, when the $6.5 million dollar one does the job just as well (plus, there’s money left over for those $5 million dollar floor mats). How about that $20 million dollar drive train? The BMW will use the $3 million dollar one, and get just as good of mileage. How about that navigation system? The BMW’s GPS has proven to know the right road to get you to your destination safely and repeatedly.

Alright, that’s enough of that.

Another thing that caught my attention this week on Halos Heaven was the post and comments about how Arte Moreno is only in it for the money. I certainly hope so! I’m digging what he’s doing and I hope he keeps it up.
