its not his fault hes not good, and its especially not his fault we gave him a retarded contract. hes a nice guy who thought he’d finally found a home in LA…
So obviously Keith Law did not read my rant in the Tex blog...
Just stop! Don’t even go there unless you are SERIOUSLY thinking about playing him at 3b and moving Figgy to ??? This is pure and utter BS…the Angels have nowhere to put him unless they move an OF or two! Just stop! Enough with the Tex rumors already!

I could give you 10 Million stupid reasons.

okay, okay
BESIDES the obvious 10 million stupid reasons
:P
howiestheman - July 26, 2008
Kinda like those reason you wanted to trade for Casey Blake?
TheOptimist - July 26, 2008
Just wait until he's the missing link that leads a 80-82 dodgers club into the playoffs
Northwest - July 26, 2008
man that division sucks....
howiestheman - July 26, 2008
I think the D-Backs will go on a bit of a run
and win it with like 86-87 wins. They have a BOATLOAD of talent.
Caseys Kiss of Death - July 26, 2008
Unfortunately for them right now, that boat is named the Titanic.

woah, scioscia talking to torii in the dugout
i never see him talking to players midgame…
Carl Johnson - July 26, 2008
Probably telling him he got a shitty jump on that steal attempt
highlandhalo - July 26, 2008
See ya GMJ
This Rivera kid can hit, so I’m told …
highlandhalo - July 26, 2008
the missing link!

I new it was gone
before it left the gamecast

granted i do feel bad for gary
its not his fault hes not good, and its especially not his fault we gave him a retarded contract. hes a nice guy who thought he’d finally found a home in LA…

I thought it was “roll the hole?”
K3YEROUT - July 26, 2008

K3YEROUT - July 26, 2008
He has
Moreno takes the hit and GMJ is a late inning defensive replacement.
vladtheimpaler - July 26, 2008
I believe you are on to something!
K3YEROUT - July 26, 2008
it will be really interesting to see if the angels re-sign rivera in the offseason
maybe a 1 year deal with a chance to play a full year and up his value even more. win/win situation for both sides right?
ihearhowie2.0 - July 26, 2008
Forget the one year deal
Ole gimp leg doesn’t have a knee injury. He is fine now so sign him for long term.
vladtheimpaler - July 26, 2008
hold on there cowboy
He’s 30… let’s not go TOO long term. we already have an old outfield. let’s not add too much to that.
howiestheman - July 26, 2008
I'm standing by my post, hoss.
vladtheimpaler - July 26, 2008
whatever you say, buddy.
howiestheman - July 26, 2008
A 3 year deal should work fine
though we’d have to include some playing time guarantees, I think.
Zu Long - July 26, 2008
Nice walk, Figgs.

Throwin’ it out there
