Enjoy the game...and so long.

I just wanted to drop back in really quick to say thanks and goodbye to some blog members.

I only interacted on this blog for a few months, but I really appreciated many of the excellent insights and comments. Kaplan, linksbruin, Suboptimal, (and one of the howie’s…can’t remember which) in particular…just excellent stuff. Thanks for the conversations!

I really don’t think there is another Angels blog out there to compare to this one. The level of knowledge and discourse here is without parallel. There are a few people who think they know it all and a few who treat others with disrespect, but you expect that in any blog. For the most part, I’ve found a high level of respect here. Sadly, the same cannot be said of the head honcho and that’s why I’ve curtailed my activity. I just refuse to be treated like a jerk.

I know the Rev feels I’ll just use another account to comment here, but that’s not my plan. My son has an account which I set up for him, but he hasn’t used it yet and I think he’s forgotten about it already anyway. Besides, he’s only 12 and gets all his good stuff from me. I’ll check in from time to time and read up on my favorite posters.

Good luck to you all, and good luck to the Angels in 2009.

Feel free to rip me up at your leisure. Some of you were going to anyway. Heh.

Besides, you know what a cautious fellow I am.

whoa whoa whoa...

are you saying Rev is a self-important jerk who works for LA’s biggest joke of an art magazine?

no!

9 fanposts at an average of 50 comments each. You certainly offer better fanposts than I do… at least ones that generate good conversation. I suggest you stick around and grow a thicker skin to some of the negative comments. I developed thicker skin real quick via internet blogs.

Damn - Thought it linked.

Try here . Looking forward to seeing how the young guys fair against Franklin Morales, who at times is stellar.

is it just me

or are we holding off our regulars more than usual? maybe my memory is deceiving me, but it seems like we had at least a few more starters playing at this point last season

by ihearhowie2.0 on Mar 2, 2009 12:04 PM PST up reply actions  

You have to remember

Spring training is extra long this year, no point in starting the guys up too early.

Looks like no audio today

The KLAA Gameday Audio link is just transmitting what’s currently live on KLAA, instead of the actual game. Lame.

Thanks Time Warner Cable

Well, nothing to do but pack my walkman in my bag and wait till 18:00. See y’all later.

MLB.com text message package

Everytime a home-run is hit, or a lead change happens in the 7th inning or later, I get a text telling me. $3.99 a month, pretty good deal

For what it's worth, my room mates names were...

…Bruce Lamb (Saco) and Steve LaCock (no joke). I believe Steve is still in Hinsdale. Last I heard, Bruce had moved to Seattle.

This was in the late 70’s…

Dad was a angels fan because of reggie jackson

And I just kinda picked up the passion. Ive been to a couple games in my life including the game this past year where KROD blew a save against the Orioles and Figgins won it in the 9th with a walk off walk.

How bout you?

I grew up in LA. My Dad was passionate about baseball.

His first passion was hatred for the Dodgers (I didn’t inherit that gene). His second passion – once they came into existence – was the MLB Angels (he had loved watching the AAA LA Angels before that. Soem of my earliest baseball memories are of attending Angel games…at Dodger Stadium!

by sothball on Mar 2, 2009 1:15 PM PST up reply actions  

haha thats great

Angels games at Dodger stadium! must have been weird

No home runs all of spring and 3 in the first two innings… About time

by SMUangelFan on Mar 2, 2009 12:49 PM PST reply actions  

Two things

It’s the top of the fourth, and every Halo starter now has a hit. Awesome.
Both Wood and S-Rod are not flashing scary k rates (so far). Also awesome.

Everyone’s got themselves a hit already…

kendry racking up the walks this year?

great news for his on base percentage. his lack of patience was a weakness.

I just saw OC signed with Oakland.

Apparently he has settled for being a backup to Crosby?

by sothball on Mar 2, 2009 2:08 PM PST reply actions  

I think it means...

they lost faith in Crosby due to health issues.

by Wytelitning on Mar 2, 2009 2:11 PM PST up reply actions  

You're right. I just went back and read the artilce.

Crosby will either be a utility back-up or he will be traded. I also didn’t realize they had placed him on unrestricted waivers in their attempt to sign Furcal.
