Rex Hudler Reunites with Angels

PrintBREAKING NEWS:
Broadcaster and former major leaguer Rex Hudler will be back with the Angels as a radio broadcaster - he will be doing a Tuesday afternoon radio show on AM 830 KLAA prior to Angels home games live from Downtown Disney's ESPN Zone.
(L-R: Rex Hudler, Rev Halofan and Jose Molina in 2005) via assets.sbnation.com
It is not known whether this is the ratings-hungry influence of AM 830's new ESPN affiliation (as I predicted ON APRIL 27 would cause something like this) or a rebuilding of burned bridges between the much-loved loose cannon commentator and the top-button-buttoned Angels corporate chain of command.
One thing is for certain - Angels phone operators and letter-readers will get a respite from the overwhelming spontaneous outpouring of Hud-love from Angels fan faithful, who reportedly bent the ear of management on the topic of Rex's return with more passion and volume than even the legendary 2004 outcry over the team's name change.

What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.

Exactly why the Angels are getting Rex back
A sign from management that they believe this is going to be a long losing season.
When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!

Bound to happen sometime.
Might as well be now.
The Devil went down to Georgia, and all I got was this gold fiddle. Go Angels! helpfindscottajob@gmail.com
hell yea
well is about time Rex comes back. cant wait
YESSSSS!!!!!
Actually, the word I heard was that it is all due to a “brilliant” posting on the “essential Angel’s blog, Halo Heaven,” entitled “Dear Mr. Moreno: Bring Back Hud,” by “relatively unknown HH contributer” “Raaddad” in February.
Mr. Moreno was totally impressed by this piece and decided then and there to do everything in his power to find some way to restore our Hud back to us.

Great !
May his hyper-enthusiastic, yet “mellow” ways rain sunshine and happiness and good karma on this Angels ballclub that really needs a dose of positivity at this point. . .
do any
of you when we can start licening to rex on the radio?
MAY 11 is the next Tuesday home game.
I love this team.

So wait, he's on Tuesdays only before a home game, right?

YES!
SO looking forward to this. Now, if only we could have Hud back on the radio air during game time—maybe filling in for Jose every couple of innings at least? But I’ll take what the Moreno has given us this time around—GO HUD!
Light up that halo! RIP, Nick.
Maybe this hiring will facilitate more Hud exposure later
If things go well….(Hud behaves himself (?))

I hope Hud gets to be Hud. That’s why we like him. As was said a while back he might be a goofy guy but he’s OUR goofy guy.
Right--I'm with you
But perhaps a compromise of sorts will enable the Hudster to percolate in more areas then the occasional tuesday show—but we’ll take what we can get for now—dat fo sho!

this is
the best news so far this Angel year, since we cant even win games n are playing pathetic baseball

I'd love to hear Rojas with Hudler...
Then, I might actually listen to Rojas. I am open to the fact that it might not work out, though.
I love this team.

Awesome news - maybe some of that good Halos mojo in the ether
…today will carryover into that Bawston craphole we’re playing in tonight.

REX HUDLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh happy day!
Oh happy day!
This is the perfect remedy to a 17-8 loss and Saunder’s 43353462346234623.234623642346236236 ERA. Get your WS rings ready, Halos. This put it in the bag.
The dugout in Texas has exactly 12 steps.
Hopefully they put Hud back in the booth with terry smith jose mota is not suited for tv or radio interviews yes
Now that Lackey has turned to the enemy lets kick his ass

"Today is the best day ever!"
Quote from another dude with a positive outlook
Woot-Woot! I was indeed one of those letter writers…..I didn’t think the management paid attention to stuff like that. Guess more folks than just me were writing and calling too.
Maybe they will let Hud do every Tuesday if it goes well, then maybe Thursdays too, and then Wednesdays, and…..
Yay!!!!!!
I am so happy to hear this! And thanks Rev for the hints that if everything goes right we might get him back more often! Our family sure has missed him!! Thanks for listening to the fans Moreno!!

More Hud Please !
what the Halos are saying: We really need an Angels homer with a positive attitude, especially during this season.
When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!
Love the HUDman

Rex Hudler
I was always very disappointed when they let Rex Hudler go awhile back.
Now Iam so happy to know we will get to hear his passionate interest and enthusiasm agian for the Angels. We need it now when the team is in a funk. Hurrray for the Angel beloved fans.
Paulo Palito
It's a start...
Can we move Gubicza to the radio show and put Rex back in the announcer’s booth now?
rex
I think the curse on the Angels is due to the lack of Rex just not the same I want Rex back all the time and on TV. it is just plain ridiculous with out him. It like every game is is on the road. come home permanently Rex Hudler. Please bring him back to TV< before its to late for the Angles.
REX
I will for certain listening to radio on tues, even if it means sitting alone in my car
