  1. The Perfect Catch: Angels' Trout turning everybody into believers Reading the other piece, made me do some research. This was actually posted on the Original AW.com forum by Poozy. Didn't get much notice back then. http://angelswin.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=65882 But it's is a great writeup on what happened in the draft, written in 2012. There is some great insight on who Mike Trout is, why he was picked by the Angels, and why he was picked behind Grichuk.
  2. What the article fails to mention is that the Angels also had the pick before. So even if they didn't offer Teix arbitration, they still would have picked Trout. The reason Trout was picked later was simply slot money.
  3. Google’s $35 Chromecast Internet TV Streamer Sells Out Online in Less Than 24 Hours
  4. Good news is, doesn't look like terrorists. Bad news is, conductor was and idoit.
  5. I believe that was under the old CBA. You had so much time to sign them, if you didn't sign them, then you couldn't sign them till after May. The new CBA got rid of that.
  6. Avengers made what, a billion. This is like reality tv. One success means you ride that donkey till it's dead. And the donkey is still chasing the carrot. Although thankfully, reality tv is close to dead.
  7. Oh, and if it's true what was said about Zimmerman helping the homeless dude, that would throw the DOJ case on a loop. And probably create more rioting.
  8. And at $35, I can't wait for some reviews to come in. So far, it sounds very interesting.
  9. I think the low pressure situation plays more into his success than anything else. The talent was always there. It was the head that got in the way. If he was on the Angels this season, he probably would be up in the 4.00+ era area. Because the bats weren't hitting first half of the season, and everything would have been on his shoulders. Especially after Weaver went down and CJ had a slow start.
  10. So even the server was getting in on the you are honored to eat at that cafe, if you don't like it, you can leave business model?
  11. Dang it. I wanted to see if Blanton could get to 25 losses, on our way to a protected pick.
  12. I'll spoil the ending for you. In the end, Creed says I don't need an old up geezer like you, then Rocky comes out of retirement and whips that whipper snapper good.
  13. Sad thing is, it should be one of the most exciting.
  14. I'm glad Texas traded Olt to Chicago. I'd have hated to see Stanton on that team mashing it like he's on roids.
  15. We will win. Or the board will go nuts. Well, more nuts than usual. That is, if that's possible.
