  1. I don't see anything for the Angels listed on Dish today.
  2. I was severely disappointed with it. Deleted it halfway through. Too much CGI. Too much rambling commentary. You could tell, this was a FOX production.
  3. Looks very cool. Thanks for the link, was trying to find stations that carried it. It's good that they are putting it on regular standard programming.
  4. Yup. You have to watch soccer for that. Regular season is fine, since it's already a grueling long season anyways. But nothing like a triple overtime thriller in the playoffs, with the goalie making just sick saves.
  5. Except for the save against the kid. That was nails.
  6. Brad Penny released by Royals after reportedly punching wall in anger
  7. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/one-in-six-draft-picks-will-click/ In short, 73% of first rounders according to BA, with 39% lasting more than 3 years. Quality of the player though is another question.
  8. I agree that the Angels should look at him. But if they do seriously consider him, it has to be for more than 1 year. I would say at least 4 but I'd be more comfortable with 5 years at around 5/$50-$60 million. That's the amount of control you would have in the MLB of a first rounder. Of course not all first rounders do anything in the MLB. So 4 or 5 of benefit (barring an injury), over 6 of maybe might help IMO would be worth it. But not one.
  9. His agent is the one that hosed him, not the system. Rosenthal: Ervin Santana wants more than $100 million
  10. That's actually pretty smart of him. I wouldn't have thought of that loophole.
  11. I'm sorry. Did you get a refund? Is Chuck with you, or I should say if he is with you, is he still conscious?
  12. Man, we really needed him to do well. As MT said, we got nothing else. I hope we don't make a desperation move and sign Santana to long term deal while losing our first rounder.
  13. I like it. Never seen Open Gallery before. But it was super easy to use with a mouse wheel. Much easier and better than a slideshow when you have to click after each picture.
  14. So who was saying squeel like a puig, and who was oinking? Oh wait, I forgot, puig doesn't squeel. He just falls down at the sight of Trout. Which is also appropriate for what you describe.
  15. McCourt bought the Dodgers for $430 million, with about $5 out of pocket cash, and sold it for over $2 billion. Edit: forgot to add. And McCourt still kept the parking lot.
  16. If I remember right. Even when he was on the Angels, he had elbow issues. Think it caused some debate on the forums, because it was described as a strain. And the MD's were debating on what exactly a strain meant/severity of it.
  17. In the Valley, Meh should be changed to Porn stars.
  18. Neither has boasting they should get $100 million+ contracts. I wonder if Santana would have been signed a long time ago, if his agent didn't make that claim?
  19. Ervin Santana's Representation Currently Unsettled doh
