Tooting my own horn on Baseball Prospectus radio

First link on the page, direct link here, listen to myself and a couple of my classmates talk about my senior project. Essentially, we developed a shirt that can show when a pitcher's mechanics degrade. This is kinda the sum of my work in college, so I'm pretty proud of it. I do get in a "go Angels!" near the end.

You can watch a video here, sorry for the gratuitous Red Sox footage, my school is in Boston.

I'm Marcus, for the record.

Figgins Will Primarily Play 2nd Base In Seattle

Interesting little interview with our former All Star 3rd baseman, leadoff man and super utility player. Apparently he and Lopez have switched positions on the diamond. He also talks about living with GA and a little of his personal life and Torii Hunter's comments.

Download and use it for your own personal firefox persona. once you have downloaded the image, its simple to set up, click on the little fox in the bottom left corner, select custom then select edit.

Tim Brown (Yahoo Sports): Brandon Wood's Time is Now

Yahoo Sports' Tim Brown has a decent piece about Brandon Wood. I did not know that Brandon's dad's name is Kerry. Strange. No, he's not THAT Kerry Wood.

Torii Mea Culpa: Cultural Differences Apart From Race

Angels CF Torri Hunter explains that he was referring to cultural differences between players in a discussion that was misunderstood as a commentary on race. Thanks to our poster Kokey8 who first reported Hunter's comments here.

No surprise here folks, looks like he was involded in a roundtable and some douche took it and twisted in another way. I for one still love Torii

Umpire SUPERVISORS Fired?

I missed out on this story.

All three names of the fired, I recognize from years of watching games on TV. Not a lot of info in the article, but it brings back bad memories. The comments are interesting, too.

He will always be synonymous with Angel's baseball.

Pettit done for the Season

Looks like Pettit has requested surgery and will be out for the season. I guess it'll help the Scioscia decision for bench players just got a little easier.

yeah yeah yeah - we should do something like this. If Donald Sterling was our owner we would have to do something like this and be billed for it as group therapy.

Bourjos Gets Some More Prospect Love

Bourjos Gets Some More Prospect Love

Fangraphs' Erik Manning takes a look at what Peter Bourjos' contributions at the major league level might look like. I think Manning's projection -- a 3 WAR player -- is mid range, with Peter's upside being a full 2-3 wins higher (league average bat, more value on the bases, and maybe a full ten runs better in the field).

Anyway, nice to get a neutral outsider's perspective.

R-Rated Jack-In-The-Box Fast Food Video

Very NSFW video by some band featuring fast food mascots getting high. Since fast foodies advertise heavily on baseball games I decided this link was important to this site, but it is kinda hardcore so don't blame me if you don't get into heaven after clicking that link.
