PrintIf a thousand people pay to get into the Oakland Alameda Colisseum tonight, first off, I will be surprised. Second, unlike Charter Television customers, they will get to see the baseball game where the Angels will send Shane Loux against Dallas Braden and the Oakland Athletics. Loux, Anthony Ortega and Matt Palmer have an expiration date appearing on them called Moseley-Santana-Lackey. So let's hope Shane keeps our memories of him as pleasant as possible.
Today at 5:05 PM is the premiere of my occasional radio rant: REV HALOFAN'S SERMON ON THE MOUND. You can catch this almost-weekly preaching to the converted via the web or radio on AM 830. Keeping me from going out of control will be the host of THE DRIVE (KLAA's 3 PM - 6 PM Call In show), Jeff Biggs.
Your calls to today's show will be greatly appreciated. The subject of my sermon will be the Angels. I would like to include the congregation here in assisting me in devoting my attention to the issues of most concern to the major league Angels. This is no minor league assignment. For you or me.
Post here now and Listen to my Sermon on the Mound during THE DRIVE today at 5:05 PM...

Not calling in...
My mouth will be extremely sore — having a molar crowned at 2PM… ugh…
Angels fan since '67
My drive starts at 5:30
Will you be on until 6?
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
Will there be a reading from the Book of Tanana?
This bullpen collapses faster than the Austro-Hungarian Empire
Who's the "Lackey" you speak of?
Sounds like a mythical creature to me…
God needed a starter. RIP #34
Ever notice how crazy some sports radio callers are?
I’ve listened to only 830 am in my car the past few weeks, mostly because right now the radio is the only thing that is working. I had rarely ever listened to sports talk shows before, so it’s still somewhat surprising to me the amount of weird or crazy ass people that call in. Bunch of rabid fans out there, that’s for sure. Either they’re going crazy and tangential or they sound like a 95 year old on their last breath. Entertaining stuff.I will say however that it’s mostly the people calling in at night that are kinda looney…not so much drive time.
Whatever dude.

bring up wood
we havent discussed it here enough!
oh and f-rod vs. fuentes…
and talk about the current state of the rally monkey: should he/she/it be retired or not?
yay!
GO HALOS!!!
"Man, this is baseball. You gotta stop thinking. Just have fun. I mean, if you were having fun you would've caught that ball."
Topic
If I were going to rant about one thing Angels it would be Brandon Wood not getting his playing time. Don’t let the Angels get away with it, Rev!
RIP Nick Adenhart, #34
Agreed with Wood, I would like to see a discussion of him in the context
of our slow outfielders. Putting Wood at third-base, and putting Figgy in the outfield might help both offensively and defensively.
Angels in 09!
Wood that be Termites?
They love wood, too.

Hey so do...
nevermind.
Self-realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "I drank what?"

Here's a topic for you...
For many years now the Gospel of St Mike has been speed, defense, first-to-third and a while-chicks-might-dig-the-long-ball, hitters bow in awe before a mightly arm. This year, in the post-steroid era, the game has changed – it’s not about sitting and waiting for a pitch to crush, speed and defense are everything.
How does this play for the Angels, ahead of our time but left behind as other teams have become younger and faster or masters of the new(/old) ball?
I see red people
this will be cool.
I think you were on The Drive not too long ago also – that’s how I found this site. It’s been a lot of fun chatting during the games with other Angels fans.
Can’t wait to here you tonight.
Texas just put up 6 runs against Seattle in the top of the 10th
All done after the first 2 outs. Sweet.
O'Day got the win...

Rev on the radio
I think that he is right about Mathis/Figgy being showcased. For example, why would Soth being trying Napoli at DH since Vlad will be the full-time DH once he returns?
Angels in 09!
Because he likes to win?
I still love you.

Good job on the Serman Rev.
But I can’t help but notice that your voice is suspiciously similar to Matt Drudge
I got a fever and the only prescription is... more Kowbell!
good stuff
Solid radio the way you took on the TV and trade issues. Keep the edge sharp, Rev. You’re definitely going to draw listeners.
Go Mizzou.
Lackey update
so far, Lackey has pitched 4 innings, with 0 hits and 0 runs, with 3 K’s to 1 BB. only 50 pitches so far as well..
World Series '09 - In Memory of #34 Nick Adenhart!
