PrintThe Los Angeles Times reported today that the Angels signing of Hideki Matsui will be bringing the team additional revenue via billboards among other potentially lucrative streams.
This Chicago-owned fishwrap, who by the way killed off their Angels blog as it got them zero traction among their coupon-clipping Drysdale-era sports readership, the Has-Been Times is today reporting a story that Halos Heaven reported 71 days ago.

How do you think I'm gonna get along without you when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had and kicked me out on my own
Are you happy? Are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip to the sound of the beat...

I blog about the Angels at The Diamond Aces
We need to go after the local television news stations now.
For barely mentioning or not even mentioning the Angels in their daily sports news casts, while all of the allotted baseball reporting is dedicated to any little thing about the Dodgers and the McCourts’ divorce.
Rob Fukuzaki of ABC7 Eyewitness News, this means you!

ABC7 Eyewitness news claims to be the most watched news station in the southland.
I propose we target them first and Rob Fukuzaki, their sports anchor, first with an e-mail campaign from HH fan members then move on to the other stations in some order. I just sent an e-mail to them requesting equal air time reporting for the Angels and the Dodgers which I think is only fair. The e-mail address is: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/feature?section=resources/inside_station&id=5788340. Please feel free to drop them a quick e-mail and tell them how you feel.
While searching their site for the e-mail address for ABC7, I looked at the MLB sports page on their website. Lead story about washed-up has been Manny Ramirez not returning to the Dodgers in 2011. Nothing about the Angels, zero, nada. You think they might at least have an old story about the Angels hosting the All-Star game this year or something.

The cadaver once known as the L.A. Times
It’s hard to believe that the sports pages that once gave us Ross Newhan, Scott Ostler and the great Jim Murray has devolved into the virtually unreadable "All Manny & the McCourts, all the time!" tabloid that it is today. Who could forget how it took almost two weeks for T.J. Simers to write any kind of acknowledgement that Nick Adenhart had died? Granted the Times had been in decline for many years, but as the Rev correctly observes, it truly bottomed out when Sam Zell’s Tribune Company took over.
"All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine."
I stand by several of those quotes
And I actually worked at the place.
For all my ex-colleagues who despised the guy, I always tell them this - he’s the last sucker who believed in the newspaper industry. Never again will anybody except scavengers from the business world think about investing in a legacy newspaper company. His treatment at the hands of these ninnies—ooh! he said “pussy”!—-was just icing on that cake.

I learned to use the dots … like Ferdinand Celine … in his novel Death on the Installment Plan.
Is anyone shocked by this?
The old dinosaur media is dying. Just ask NYT shareholders…
God needed a starter. RIP #34
