I know it is slower than Juan Rivera on the base paths but for those at work who cannot listen to the game…
Hey as an aside
I’m heading down to Tempe to catch some spring training games this weekend. Any advice on things to do or see (or things not to do or see)?
GA GA he's the man, if he can't do it, no one can
My wife and I try to get to the stadium around 9:00 AM.
The players are usually out on various practice fields around the stadium. It is generally low key..some fielding drills, BP, that kind of thing. Usually, you will find Scioscia on one of the fields working with the players on drills…hitting ground balls and offering encouragement/advice.
Then the players start heading back along “autograph alley” to the stadium. This is the time most fans will be as close as you can ever get to the players and coaches.
We usually have fairly low key evenings, cathching up on March madness at a bar/restaurant, or meeting friends/relatives that havealso made the trip to Mesa. There are lots of restaurants within 5 +/- miles of the stadium. If you are interested in a movie, there is a mall off of Baseline, about 3-4 miles south of the stadium.
3-4 years ago, the Suns had a game on Saturday night that we attended (that was when they were really dominant).
as long as your not allergic to college kids
its a great street with a ton of shopping, bars, restaurants, etc. Kinda like ASU’s version of UCLA’s westwood marketplace

Hey, Moondoggy,
I’m gonna be there with a buddy (first ST roadtrip for me, ever). I’m catching the Cubs at HoHoKam and the A’s at Tempe Diablo.
Wanna meet up?

Not sold on Aybar and Morales in same infield.
So I turn on my first ST game while working from home, and hear THAT…
Any updates on Santana?
I get the sense that the injury is much worse than the Angels are letting on.
Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!!
It allright...you do such a good job summarizing I was starting to miss 'em.
So, I did my best filling in.
Bottom of the 5th...
Arredondo got 2 quick outs, gave up a triple to Davis, then a K. To the top of the 6th we go…
Insider Note:
When doing color, Ken Forsch dropped the tidbit that Arredondo was head case through 2007, when he got a sit-down chat from Preston Gomez. Everything good we know about Jose is a consequence of what happened after that chat.
I don't recall the source, but I had heard that before.
In fact I seem to recall the sit-down chat was only a couple of weeks before Gomez’ accident.
From a Mike DiGiovanna article:
Arredondo was a self-described "troublemaker" as he came up through the minor leagues, a prospect whose arm was clearly major league-caliber but whose temper threatened to derail him.
In June 2007, at double-A Arkansas, Arredondo threw a tantrum when he was pulled from a game and got into an altercation with veteran outfielder Curtis Pride, who was trying to calm Arredondo in the clubhouse afterward.
The Angels suspended Arredondo for a week and demoted him to Class-A Rancho Cucamonga, where he brooded his way to a 2-4 record and 6.43 ERA in 28 games.
Arredondo had also been at Rancho Cucamonga in 2006 when he and catcher Michael Collins got crossed up, the right-hander firing a fastball when Collins expected a changeup. They then argued and fought in the dugout.
Matt Brown with an RBI single in the top of the 7th, driving in Terry Evans.
4-2 Angels headed to the bottom of the 7th.
End of 8. Bottom half of inning was pretty much listening to crickets.
Going into 9th still ties 4-4.
P.S.
7th inning stretch tune for the A’s turns out to be the Green Acres theme song. I think I would have preferred the commercials.
Angels DUI song is better.

I hope this does not end up a tie game.

Yes, the A'ss are our bitch.
