GREAT PHOTO: Eric Kay Twitter Account: Darin Erstad throws out first pitch
Linked above, Halo great Darin Erstad throws out first pitch with his kids at last night's Angels game.

Ten Years to the day that he threw out that first pitch, Erstad played a big role in a comeback win for the Winged-Logo Disney Halos. Last night was also the tenth anniversary of the lowest paid attendance crowd at Angel Stadium/Edison Field since its 1996 remodel: 13,763... they say the darkest hour is right before the dawn.
Rangers Put Bush-Meat Poachers in Their Sights - CNN.com
I did not get a chance to read this article about some suave fans in Arlington seducing Laura Bush in her front row seat at a Rangers game while Nolan and George went to get a beer, check it out, let me know the details, okay?
Bill Dwyre: Angels bringing the heat at the right time - latimes.com
I suppose that unlike his Jeter Tribute debacle of an article, Bill Dwyre did not leave it to an intern to write the headline on this article.
World's Quietest Pennant Race - ESPN
It's as if the Angels don't quite know what to make of this race, so they ignore it.
Wait a minute - ESPN is shocked that after lathering the YankSawx with national coverage, the only interesting pennant race in all of baseball is "quiet"? Is Bristol, Connectacont also the home of the world's largest douche-kit factory?
Richards Providing Some Relief - Pasadena Star-News
Well now, a little old lady from Pasadena will get to walk out to her front lawn and pick up her home-delivered copy of the Pasadena Star-News to read about Garrett Richards returning from the disabled list and being assigned to the Angels bullpen. And then she will have an ink smear on her nose later in the day and one of her kids, jockeying for position with the inheritance, will buy her an iPad. She will then download the free SBN iPhone app, create an account here and mock our knowledge of this game. And she will never read the Star-News Angels coverage again.
MLB Playoff Race Heats Up - Neon Tommy
What is awesome about this pathetic article is that it is from the Annenberg School of Journalism and it reads like one of those bloggers who started a blog in 2008, wrote every day for a week, than once a month and now makes a "playoff race" entry as the first time he has visited his blog since opening day.
The Annenberg Foundation (a dirty mid-century quasi-mafiosa ankle-breaking family turned shit-don't-stink regal patrons of the arts) literally spend tens of millions of dollars on antiquated notions of journalism and the utter pablum linked above what they produce in the age of dynamic blogs.

Just want to put this out there again
Even the Indians and Giants think they are still in it and they are 7.5 and 7 GB,
Back to being skeptically optimistic.
But they aren't in it

Bush-Meat Poachers:
The conservation society believes it is not acceptable to have such an open market for something that is illegal.
100%, Total, Unmitigated, Agressive, Liberal Propaganda from CNN. Roger Fotso is the narc;
The wealthy consumers are the "BoogerMen".
Fotso says there’s a new breed of consumer in the city that buys the meat for prestige instead of sustenance
.
Is this snark?
Or are you really siding with the right of urban rich boys to eat endangered species in some James Bond fantasy of white jacketed British colonial infamy?
You do realize this “liberal propaganda” is buried so deep in CNN’s ass-end of its Afrrica section that the only folks viewing it are folks like Rev who get accidental hits on it for keyword alerts like “rangers”. It’s hardly an advocacy piece — the practice is already very illegal in most African countries because it hurts their main industry, tourism, and exacerbates rural hunger.
Jeebus, the paranoid victimology of the contemporary political junkie just gets worse by the hour.

snarkasm does not exist in the political sphere
The more someone is into politics the more bitter they are. It is like the opposite of a quest for beauty.
It didn't used to be so pervasive, but it has always existed.
We always did have the crochety old codger factor in politics, but it was limited to the barbershop, or the local VFA, or anyplace where the few with enough time to formulate their own reality in the vacuum of their own mind could gather and hornswoggle their peers.
But the internet has opened up this unfortunate experience to the masses, and we have knuckleheads with pitchforks screaming at bogeymen all over the place.
Maybe the Founding Fathers were right after all. Maybe not everybody should have the vote.
Against stupidity the very Gods themselves toil in vain.
I enjoy Dwyre.
I wish I had noticed him long ago. He’s obviously in cruise control toward retirement now.
I don't think Wumbug uses One West Bank.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
Darin Erstad: one of the greatest defensive outfielders ever, WS champ, pro-athlete, throwing out the 1st pitch
Both his kids have a look on their faces that says, “Dad, you are such a dork.”
You can’t win.
Captain, there are doubt's...
"It’s a good opportunity to show we have the strength to respond" - Arsene Wenger, 2011
That's because instead of throwing home he
turned and threw a grounder to the second baseman. He loves him some 4-3 putouts.
How does this team win with this offense? Hey, anyone....DRAW A WALK!!!

Mrs. Erstad says she's got it.... Mrs. Erstad... MAKES THE CATCH!!!! And Darin Erstad has a successful ceremonial first pitch!!!!!
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
This team needs more players that embody the spirit and desire of Erstad
I believe Trout and PB have those traits, but need more emotional maturity before taking more leadership within the team.
True
But what made Erstad so great is that he combined those qualities with top-level talent.
Sadly, it was also those qualities that shortened his career.
You boys stick around--there'll be turkey and ice cream later!
I love it how some ESPN announcers accidentally still call the Big A, Edison field!!
No joke… I had a dream last night the Angels went into the last series of the year, a game up on Texas!! I wanna go back to the playoffs!

oh GOD, the Big Ed.
Remember “kiss your Big A goodbye?” How’d that work out for them?
We moved back to SoCal in the Fall of 2001
and kept hearing about upcoming concerts at Edison Field and didn’t realize it was The Big A. I don’t know how we missed the naming sale to Edison, but we were living in the bay area prior to that and news from the SoCal area was difficult to come by, and I still had dial-up.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Which is the bigger problem?
Poaching in Deng Deng or ping pong in Ding Dang?

As long as you don't lose in Ding Dang
I’d go with Deng Deng

Corrigenda re Pasadena
Well now, a little old lady from Pasadena will get to walk out to her front lawn and pick up her home-delivered copy of the Pasadena Star-News to read about Garrett Richards returning from the disabled list and being assigned to the Angels bullpen.
1) The little old lady sold her car and moved to Palm Desert.
2) The Pasadena Star-News is home-delivered to the gutter in front of the driveway—sometimes even the correct driveway.
3) Wait—The Star-News still has reporters?
You boys stick around--there'll be turkey and ice cream later!
