Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

Here's a post from April 17th of last season. The Angels were in the midst of a 2-6 string of games from Apr 14-19. All hope was gone. 2009 was not to be. What really sealed the deal was a second 2-6 stretch from Aug 20-27. It was simply too much to recover from. A lost season.

Look people, I freaked out then. And I'm not going to say I'm not concerned now. But seriously, get it together. It sucks to start the season this way, but it's really early.

The money quote: "And all the while, Brandon Wood languishes in AAA with a 1.065 slugging and nowhere to fit in the crowded Angels lineup." Give him some time folks. He had a couple of opposite field shots today, and he's also a notoriously slow starter. I should clarify that. He's been kicked off of winter ball teams what, 2 years now? And I believe his spring last year was bad too. My point is just simply that it's such a small sample size to judge.

Quit with the panic switch (for now).

Didn't even realize

We started 2-6 last season in April as well. In the end as long as we have the division crown wrapped up, I don’t really care how we start out.

Also, would anyone suggest

Mark Texeira, Adam Dunn or Carlos Lee be sent down to the minors?

They all have lines that are pretty similar to Brandon’s at this point.

Time to see what Wood's got!

Same lines,

different reputations.
