How odd
Because every time Robb Quinlan was in the lineup over Casey Kotchman, I found myself thinking, “Well, you can’t always get what you want.”
And it’s too bad that Jose Guillen isn’t still on our team, though I don’t think there would be very much sympathy for that devil.

For me, Justin Speier’s song should be – No Expectations. But that’s just me…

halofan4life - September 1, 2008
Rolling Stones have an extremely popular song by that name
Caseys Kiss of Death - September 1, 2008
i dont know why i think this
but i always thought that morrisey sounded like mick jagger, maybe its because i dont really listen to the stones or morrisey but when i heard the songs on the radio i was always thrown off by the two, and not knowing who was actually singing

Very underrated song.
jjackflash - September 1, 2008
The funny thing about the GMJ section...
..there are so many other appropriate titles (All Mixed Up, Back to Zero, Gotta Get Away, etc).
sothball - September 1, 2008
One final note...
My favorite lyrics from a Stones tune, “…There’s fever in the funk house now…” from Tumblin’ Dice could apply to this Angel’s season!

I was DJing at a bar last night
while watching the end of Angel game, this post came to mind, so I had to throw some Stones on.
Thanks for the inspiration
