Majors Dull? Angels Minor Leagues Rockin'! Daily Halolinks

Only one player from SLC too, and that player (Moore) is likely a 4th outfielder at best.
 
As for the schedule for the remainder of the season: just stop now with the “who has the easier schedule” stuff. The fact remains that if the Halos don’t play their best in every game remaining, the schedule means nothing. Right now, Seattle’s rookie pitchers seem to own the Halos. If the Angels can’t beat Seattle……

Won’t that interfere with Trout playing in the world series?

Oh never mind, Scioscia still thinks Vernon Wells should be in the lineup.

Lyle must need a new underdog, now that thousands of shouting voices have finally silenced his whimpering pleas for you-know-who.

That thinks “Owlz” is the worst name ever? The owl is a fascinating creature, but that forced “Z” is just dumb, regardless of the reason (I assume it’s that Utah thing that keeps the letter “Z” in team names, even when the names reference a form of music that has no relation to the state – much like a certain other NBA team).

That minor league list is awfully down in the minors. The best Angels are pretty much with the big club now, so outside of more bone-headed FA signings (aside from Kernel-approved sluggers Pujols and Fielder) or the return of the Ghost of Kendrys Morales, this Angels team is roughly set.

That I hope the locals can answer.

Why is the High-A club called the Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernadino? I’m from the inland empire so I understand the reference, but is it a direct reference to the parent club’s lengthy official name as well? Is it a similar contract reason? Speaking from personal experience, I’d think the name more favorable if it left out that whole actual city part.

I understand that showing up to your industry’s biggest annual meeting is hard because, like, it starts early and you can’t find the hotel and stuff, but come on, Tony. How do you not wave, grunt or press 1 on your phone when Berkman comes by on the wire?
