James at True Grich insists we stay optimistic... All things considered....
Meanwhile, in case you didn't read it, Rich Lederer looks at the payroll and writes a Letter to Tony Reagins
Guess who is pitching tonight Sunday for the Yankees? A dude named Bartolo Colon!!!!!!!!
VIDEO LINK: Biggest story in Nebraska: Erstad named new Husker baseball coach. Their teevee dude calls us the California Angels twice.
Brown Nose of the Week: Bill Plunkett slobbers as he writes: Angels Wells eager for new start to his season.
The Angels will be hewing to Obama's policies. Get it?!?! Talk is they are GONNA DRAFT LEFTIES. GET IT?!? C'mon Sarah, that was funny.
More OC Register propaganda about our NEW SCOUTING DIRECTOR. Thanks for reminding me that I gotta write a pre-draft article!
DAN HAREN UPDATE: Keep Clicking THIS LINK until Dan gets well.
Photo of the day: Souvenirs, anyone?
An unsigned editorial at LAAI says we will need more offense at the trade deadline. And you know about the TWITTER CONTEST, right?
Hey look, the Riverside Press Enterprise has Angels Coverage for May 22 and May 26 up on their Angels page but because they also print their monthly Angels story on toilet paper instead of bloggers getting access, their sportswriters get stadium press passes while their publication's readers just use that paper to wipe their... car windshields....
FINALLY: Trivia Question: Who was the one hundredth player to ever take the field for the Angels franchise?

Bartolo Colon.
The Angels are ill-served by a front office that willfully disregards both modern and classic performance measurements when it comes to Jeff Mathis. Astonishing, and nearly unforgiveable.
If I guess the trivia question do I win a Vernone Wells t-shirt?

bartolo for the no-hitter.
What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.
I thought Ivan Nova was pitching tonight for the Yankees?
Bartolo isn’t supposed to pitch until Sunday

Someone please write a FanPost/Shot praising Sam Miller's latest at B Pro
Tour de force on Scioscia & catchers’ ERA. I’m too busy!
I just read that piece and you are right

Jeff Mathis Batting Average Watch: .216
This really is an amazingly well done piece. READ IT!
By far the most succinct summary of the Mathis vs. Anyone Else issue(s) I have ever read.
This should be required reading for Angels fans – especially those of us constantly complaining about Scioscia’s use of Mathis. (Not that the article will necessarily change your mind about complaining – nor should it – but that you have, here, a rare opportunity for deep insight into the core issues).
But at the core of "expertise" is a dangerous belief in oneself. The more of an expert you are, experts (ironically!) tell us, the less you consider the horrifying fallibility of your own brain. Michael Lewis noted this in Moneyball: "There was the tendency of everyone who played the game to overgeneralize wildly from his own experience."
That. Is. Golden.

Done
What a fantastic article. I’ve always thought a lot of Sam’s work, but this one is in another orbit. Thanks for the tip.
I'd have to customize the Wells T
No celebrating his presence on the team for me.
I'd like to DFA Reagins
I voted for the shirt out of irony. and the fact that it is the only one of those 3 things i would purchase.
My preferred poll choice would have been none of the above.

You've made one of the classic blunders!!!! The most well known is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"
Ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Bill Plunkett slobbers
or slurps?
Mathis is a sign of The Apocalypse.
"And God looked upon The Angels lineup, and, behold, it was corrupt."
IS THE TEAM STORE GOING TO SELL 50TH ANNIVERSARY LICENSE PLATE FRAMES OR NOT?
Sorry to shout, but I have checked at all 15 games I’ve been to this season and every time I get the response from the employees, “dunno check later.”
After throwing all that lame ASG crap at us last season, I can’t believe they’re not trying to sell me anything for an event that actually matters & that I actually care about.
Time to go up the ladder
with that.
