I missed the Angels groundskeepers food drive this past weekend. I haven't seen any updates on it, so I'm hoping it was a success.

Hit this one out of the park--go vote on Tuesday, November4th!!!!!

We've seen this before, eh? "Another superb regular season -- the best in franchise history and in Major League Baseball -- was tempered by the Angels' elimination in the American League Division Series at the hands of the Boston Red Sox for the third time in five seasons."

Sean "Out of Nowhere" Rodriguez

Will Teixeira make the catch? Or will a fan get it? Tex? Or fan?

No, wait! It'll be....Sean Rodriguez, out of nowhere!! What! A! Save!

Okay, maybe it wasn't really that exciting, but I'm practicing for being a cheesy sportscaster in my next life. And it was a pretty cool catch.

This ad makes me think of that scene in Jerry Macguire where Cuba’s character is complaining about doing mattress commercials instead of the big 3. It almost seems like it can’t be worth the money for the embarrassment of being in ads like these. Poor guys.

LA Laughs

Remember that show LA Law? My sister just reminded me of something that still makes me laugh. The night it premiered, she was watching it with her boyfriend. I was just a kid, sitting nearby but not watching the show.

At the commercial break, they saw the name of the show and couldn’t figure out why it had such a stupid name. “La Law? What’s that supposed to mean? Is it Spanish or something?”

Then the announcer said, “L.A. Law will return after these messages…” We all lost it then and laughed for the rest of the show. “Oooohhhh, El Ay! That makes much more sense.”

Homegrown

How cool is it for Tyler Chatwood that he gets to play in the MLB in his hometown? Is that every teenage boys dream come true or what?

His pitching looks great, and who cares about his small size? It’s not like this is the NBA or NFL. Good things come in small packages.

Go Lakers, Go!

Don't fret, Lakers fans. They just threw Game 1 to make things more exciting for us. The more games there are, the more chances we have to buy LA Lakers NBA tickets, not to mention hats, shirts, shoes, beers, etc. I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist on this, as it seems that every sports finals seems to go to game 7 in recent years. But hey, it keeps the seasons going, so I won't complain as long as the Lakers win in the end.

So far, June is my favorite month of this year. We haven’t lost a game yet all month! J The Mariners never saw us coming. Truth be told, I don’t think we saw us coming, either. If April showers brought May flowers, maybe May flowers are bringing us June powers.

Stoneman out as Angels GM

Well, after the disappointing sweep by the Red Sox that knocked out the Angeles in the first round of the playoffs, something had to change. I'm not so sure that losing Bill Stoneman is going to improve things though, as the Angels made the playoffs 4 times in the 8 seasons he was with the team, compared to the 3 times in the almost 40 years before he took over. Tony Reagins, who's been with the team since 1992, will be the new GM. Hopefully he can pick up where Stoneman left off and finally get us a championship title!
