Random Angels Thoughts and Rumblings

[riverdunesrat]

huh? was joe maddon in the Angels organization before he became the Rays manager? and that's a weird promo that they had, huh?

oh, and it's a battle for last place...or 3rd place depending on how you look at it M's and Angels this weekend.

Oh snap......its my turn to make someone on this board appear a fool (no offfense Prov A's). Yeah, Maddon was on the Angels squad for like 23 years and the black horned-rimmed glasses were like his trademark.

yea, I found that out later...:ohwell:

last place again for the Angels. Do you think they'll try to get back in it with any moves or will they keep going with what they got like they said in the off-season?

The cavalry has arrived......Erstad is back......

[DravenX]

Activated RHP Bartolo Colon off the 15-day disabled list; Optioned RHP Jered Weaver to Triple-A Salt Lake.
I wasn't really happy that they sent Jered down to AAA. He was doing great and he deserves a spot on the starting rotation.

Placed OF Darin Erstad on 15-day disabled list and recalled OF Tommy Murphy from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Placed 3B Dallas McPherson on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 22, with lower back spasms. Recalled IF Erick Aybar from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Halos are 7 back now...uh oh

You mean again......this is why I root for the A's to sweep the AZ team......plus the fact that I hate them with a purple passion......

[Providence A's]

don't you live in AZ?

[riverdunesrat]

Western AZ......on the border of CA/AZ.....the same distance exists between the BOB.....OOPS, Chase Field and Petco....about 180 miles........My allegiances and my heart are still in SoCal. Like a good San Diegan, I hate most things AZ. Don't even ask me why I moved here......I ask myself that nearly every day, and can't come up with a good answer. Like you I don't plan on dying here.......

Yuma or Lake Havisu area?

Yuma or Lake Havisu area?

Yuma dude....home of the SD Padres ST for 25 years.....and believe me there is lots of bad blood for that pull out for a greener $$venue$$. This is a divided city. It is a yearly struggle for allegiance to either SD or the AZ team.....they had a poll in the local paper and SD won.....The main selling point I think is that SD is a more appealable vacation spot.....Who in SD isn't tired of seeing the mad exodus of Zonie license plates escaping the summer heat?.......Funny thing is that there is a mad exodus of SoCalians heading for the river all summer long.......go figure......
