Tuesday Halolinks: Albert Pujols Valentine's Day Lovefest

And a card. Dinner later, maybe?

God I’m boring.

She doesn’t want me to overspend on Valentine’s Day things. She wants something, but nothing that gets the price tripled to gouge men who are held hostage by a ridiculously overblown holiday.

required the perfect storm of Fox and the Dodgers and the Lakers. $250M has to come from somewhere.

She got me this. It is the greatest Valentines Day present of all times, forever.

I think it’s like $140 on eBay

Yesterday, the Casper Star-Tribune in Wyoming reported that an "unnamed Pioneer League" team will be visiting Casper in May to see if they want to re-locate to Casper in 2013. The Rockies’ team was there since 2001, but they grew tired of minimal fan support and moved the team to Grand Junction, CO for 2012. The location is vacant, but the team looking to move there is unknown.

Might it be the Orem Owlz? It would make the most sense for the mystery team to be from the South Division just due to travel purposes, as the other four teams in the league are all in Montana. Has there been any noise that the Angels are displeased with their location in Orem?

Probably unrelated, but the franchise that moved to Casper for 2001 and became Rockies property was the Butte Copper Kings, an Angels affiliate from 1997-2000.

To one of those massage envy places. One massage a month included and discounted services beyond that.

Trying to not dwell on the fact that she will realize she is 10.5 years younger than me. I am 31.

Weave could a lot worse, Jim.

DiGiovanna details some of El H’s charity work.
Nothing shocking, considering we know him to be a quality guy in the first place.

Aside from the fact that he’s doing great things for a lot of people, here’s a minor quibble: I can’t help but wonder why El H would decline to talk to DiG for this article. I can assume that he is a busy man (obviously), so it’s plausible that he didn’t have time for an interview, for scheduling reasons. But I would think that the LAT is more than the usual amount of PR exposure, so why turn down an interview? There could well be a simple explanation, but for some reason that seemed curious to me. Any journalist/PR people out there who could shed some light?

Clearly we all remember the 2007 trade for U-Haul, which came a year after the big Torii Hunter signing.

I’m surprised he didn’t suggest that Arte was on the grassy knoll with a sniper rifle and took out Kendrys’ ankle to open up space at 1st Base.

And, sadly, I obviously clicked through and gave him a page view.

an all red CA snapback hat so her hair can go through, which she wants me to return, and cooked swordfish with avocado fries and blackbean hummus, which she didn’t eat.

I have that particular Dave Collins card in question. I was a Cincinnati fan as a kid and remember Collins’ days with that team. I always wondered about that picture; the blond hair really had me puzzled.

and I got her new Red Toms for Angels games! Yeah! Geared Up!

She bought me the blue Angels shirt with Pujols 5 on the back.

I bought her a dozen roses.

Now, I’m buying us a nice dinner.

and read a new instruction manual for my companies new data entry program, maybe with a nice bottle of wine. or whiskey

Trading one of Morales/Trumbo/Abreu only leaves the team exposed to risk. Cassevah deserves a shot to make the bullpen, and some internal competition for the 5th starters spot can only be healthy.

Establish the team, then look to improve it.

sweet!

I’m gonna dress up one of those fan blown “Happy Dancing Waving Guy” street ad things all sexy and we’re going dancing. Then it’ll be all Vodka and shame from that point on. Just me and my girl…. Waverly.

i got her a 6 dollar herb garden

In our 10.5 years of marriage, we have never “celebrated” this “holiday.”

Treat ’em well every day of the year, or at least most of the year, and Valentines becomes irrelevant.
