just saw john lackey at the goat hill tavern

gives an offer with a nice time table on it.

Nothing new, not surprised.

The 90-minute deadline policy needs to be re-evaluated. Can we at LEAST give it the length of watching Avatar??

No wonder we can’t sign anyone.

A) You should always post on Halos heaven first if there is news or gossip fit to print.

B) This is your place to vent about anything to do the Angels and the players.

C) Was Krista wearing a fur coat?

when I read about the Boston jackets. That’s all we need, more “lifelong” Red Sox fans.

Has this happened before? Any link to proof of this? Do other teams NOT do this?

I’d have thanked him for his time, then said burn in hell. Or something to that affect.

Lackey has a good competitive spirit. It would’ve gone something like this if it were me:

“Hey John, thanks for the flags, man. It was great rooting for you…and its going to be fun rooting against ya now. Good luck.”

I think he would’ve laughed at that or at least been able to appreciate it. I feel for surfpunk though, that must be pretty weird to see.

Asked him how his wife was feeling with that Boston puke all over her, and then wished him good luck and Merry Christmas in Boston.

I heard that story from somebody I know, don’t really remember any details other than Naps being plastered to the 9th degree.

As for the negotiating tactic, I dunno if it was that short but something like 4-12 hours seems pretty logical. This is a business, decide where you want to play and be done with it.

As for if you did the right thing, surfpunk, I would say probably. Maybe you should have gone up to him and just asked “The Red Sox? Reeeeallly? Why?”

But given that there was booze involved that might not have gone well…meh.

is hot.

And he… is whipped.

4 yrs, $72 mil?

and yell at his face

THIS ONES MINEEEEE JOHN, THIS ONES MINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

then id promptly find a less douchey watering hole than goat hill.

“Good luck in Boston. I hope we get to beat you in the playoffs this year.”

love those tshirts

This sure was fun to read through! Everyone of you guys knows that you all would have done the same as surfpunk and held your tongue until you got home to your laptop, and then written down the whole story here on healos heaven! I, however, would have had the bartender send over a round of Sam Adams to their table with the advise that the sooner they learn to suck down second best, the better!

On the 23rd at my store, i helped him out for a little while and the whole time i wanted to say something about lackey, but i didnt say a word. (I’m guessing he was at the stadium working on Rodney’s contract) I figured there wasnt a good reason to talk about a pitcher who has already signed with another team or even ask him about FO politics.

 I did talk to juan rivera at the beginning of the season, i asked him how he got into baseball, and he said “growing up u either play baseball or soccer and baseball scouts are always in south america, they liked how i played and things just went from there.” He made it seem so easy, tony might have the same idea, “you can always find another Juan Lackey in south america”

said i’ll miss you man! while crying on his shoulder.

that Boston shit in OC, dontcha think? Or are you just an asshole?
