Halosphere a Cacaphony in Wild Week

IT was a pretty wild week, historically, for the franchise. How did the Halosphere hold up?

L.A. Seitz: Burned By the Hot Stove?
Great Read: Temple City's finest, Bill Seitz, checklists the Angels' offseason activity.

Stories of the decade: Angels - PE.com
Nobody reads this at all. A Poll of the biggest Angels event of the Decade. They had 11 votes at Noon on Saturday after having been posted since Friday morning, so your vote will have influence.

Dodgers on the OCR Angels Blog?
Shit For Brains Has-Been Mark Whicker has posted 6 Dodgers news items on the OCR's Angels Blog, garnering a grand total of 7 comments from the peanut gallery. New picture in the dictionary next to "Obtuse."

Matt Welch Posts a Bo Belinsky Anecdote
This is a funny little story from a great womanizer who also happened to pitch for the Angels.

I HEÅRT HÅLOS!: FML
Most cathartic creative tagging of a blog post ever. (see "Labels")

True Grich: Angels are Older, Slower and With no "Ace"
This Angels blogger does not mince words. Ouch!

In Play, No Outs: Do. Not. Panic.
Advising Tony Reagins to be patient.

Speaking of Zeppelin, saw that new Page/Edge/Jack White doc on the plane, and it's good

Two great moments lift it out of the bland-high-concept category:

1) Watching Jimmy Page listen to Link Wray’s “The Rumble.” Oh dear is it satisfying, and somehow very explanatory.
2) Watching the Edge & Jack White finally crack their cool facades w/ shit-eating grin once Jimmy stands up, straps on the gee-tar, and plays the riff from “Whole Lotta Love.”

Also, Belinsky-philes should definitely check out Steve Oney’s sad story in L.A. mag from a few years back. Really a horrible, pathetic, violent life the moment he quit baseball, including but not limited to shooting his wife in the hip just after she gave birth.

I'm going out in the front yard to dance.

Just to make a fool of myself to get some laughs.

Nick would be proud.

Right on Seitz

I like the Lackey analysis. That pretty much sums up the feeling I think a lot of people have towards him now. At least for me it does.

What in the wide wide world of sports is uh goin on here???

Instead of Zep

I would turn up Metallica. Once made the baby next door cry. Had me smiling for days. I still smile years later. Bad, bad man

Oh wait, you mean Bo Belinsky was the womanizer.

Sorry.
