"It’s good for your soul to give yourself completely to something you have no control over." Ben (Jimmy Fallon) from the movie - Fever Pitch

I don't need a break from Angels baseball... maybe some Angel fans, but not baseball. No way. The off season is too long and not having baseball to watch is awful. The way I see it, following the team through ups AND downs is part of the journey. It's funny to see fans bailing in April, but that's their prerogative. If they're just going to whine and complain and play the blame game, I'd rather they did take a break because having them around makes watching a game far less enjoyable. I get frustrated and angry too, but I'm not about to take a break. That's MY prerogative. I love baseball - especially Angels baseball, warts and all. That's just me. Again, if people want to bail or take a break - more power to them. I'm fine with intelligent conversations about why the Angels have sucked so far, but the venting gets old. It's perfectly understandable, but it still gets old.

At the rate he's going... the Angels will look to sign Vernon Wells when he's a FA in two years...

I'm glad they didn't take calls... if they're anything like the ones Terry Smith takes it would have been embarrassing.

interview is over... parting comment - Dipoto announced that "buttercup" will play between every inning starting with the next home stand.

Angels to sign Albert Belle per Angel Oracle's suggestion.

Dipoto says he will insert himself as the closer soon.

Turns out Joe Blanton is Dipoto's half brother (j/k). He's not going to the bullpen.

Looks like Jimenez is up to stay.... can play some 1B too.

Albert is back at 1B tonite... he obviously read this thread and wanted to make a statement to all of you.

He's actually Earl Weaver... who isn't even alive.

Hamilton 3 for 4, HR

It's too early for THIS =

Have a great time Chuck. By Monday things should calm down and all the natives won't be so restless...

The sky is falling

Iannetta 1 for 4, Single

Anyone else cringe when he leaped into the air before jumping on home plate?

There's probably a thread like this for every team...

Jerry West approves of this thread... Awesome finish last night. I'm happy for Howie and even happier the team won and that's all that matters. It doesn't change my overall opinion of him as a good, but not spectacular 2B.

I'm glad to see he's happy. Thanks for sharing that!
