Angels, John Lackey Not Workin' in 9-5 Loss

it wouldn’t accept the vote

seems like yesterday

Does BTMRR have to do with losing?

oh shadddup

yes, sore loser here!

for the first time ever, and only because of the rules of the alphabet

but still – whoooo!

..(OK, here goes the glass half full sermon), it’s still too early to give up.

Positives;
 - 3 1/2 games back. Not insurmountable by any means.
 - We are finally getting healthy.
 - On a 9 game road trip against 3 tough opponents, we are 4-4.
 - The bullpen can only improve, or so my deluded mind wants to believe. Rich Thompson looked sharp tonight.
 - Vlad had 2 hits!

Yes, there are lots of negatives to counteract the positives (Lackey getting smacked around, slugging % still anemic, GMJ in the line-up, and so on). But, I STILL believe this team will improve over the balance of the season. In ways, I am still amazed we are over .500.

And if they don’t improve, Mrs. Sothballl and I will be part of the 15,000 sitting out there for that game against Texas near the end of the season.

The new format SUCKS and does not work properly. I went to manage fanpost (in the upper left hand corner) and started from there then it worked. Clicking on new fanpost in the fanpost column does not work unless you hit the save button and then it goes to your personal page and you can publish it or edit it from there.

I missed the game, had to work, but it looks like Big John got knocked around a bit. Too bad, so sad. Lackey looking rusty still.

Typically, you enter your title in teh box lebeled “Story Headline”.

Then, in the main body window titled “Intro and Extended Entry”, you enter your opening text in the space above the bar with the word “jump” in it. Minimum word count is 75.

As to not clutter up the front page of the blog, for long posts put the balance of your text below “jump”.

At any time, should you want to insert a picture at a particular point, spot your insert cursor at that point and click the little icon that looks like a picture frame in the box to the right of the main body (you will see the icon under “MEDIA & ASSETS”.)

Or, should you want to insert a video at a particular point, spot your insert cursor at that point and click the little icon that looks like a TV in the box to the right of the main body (again, you will see the icon under “MEDIA & ASSETS”.)

Then, I recommend clicking the Preview button to verify that everything is going to appear correctly to your audience. I would imagine that if you are going to have have problems clicking Publish, they will manifest themselves first with Preview.

thanks for looking on the somewhat….slightly…bright…not so shady side.

My layer hid it, read it and r-approved it.
