I will be a guest of Jeff Biggs on his world famous THE DRIVE show today at 4 PM. You can listen to us live and call in to the station as well to discuss the Angels and Baseball ... as opposed to talking about Michael Jackson, although that did happen last time as he had just died that hour and we were both in shock. If you are out of the AM-830 audio area please VISIT THE SITE and notice the simple live streaming links in the upper right corner of the radio station's website there. Listen today at 4 PM Pacific time (that is midnight in England). And call in!
UPDATE: Well that was fun. Big thanks to Jeff Biggs for the invitation, to all of you who tuned in, and to Sandy at the Angels front desk for the box of Godiva chocolates as a parting gift. Mmmmmmm...

The Drive... AKA the Greg and Jeff show
Anytime I’m listening, it’s either one of those blowhard callers chewing up the airtime while Biggsy impatiently waits.
I’ll be tuning in though!
clover_black - August 3, 2009
Agreed.
Bigsy, seems like a cool guy, but I find him a little “hard on the ears.” I’m certainly no expert, but the guy doesn’t know how to handle callers very well. The other thing that makes his show kinda slow is that 90% of it seems to be just anybody and their mother calling in spouting off about this or that. I know most people don’t like Roger Lodge in the morning, but compare the way the two handle the phones. It’s like Bigsy is always apologizing for maybe cutting people off and asking “is there anything else you want to add?”
Give people one minute max to give their 2-cents worth and move on. You the old saying about a**holes and opinions.
I called a radio station once in my life and actually made it on the air. The DJ let me talk for about 20 seconds and hung up. No one was on the line afterward apologizing for not giving me more time. It’s a radio show.
3rd Echelon - August 3, 2009
Caught a little of Roger Lodge this morning.
He was promising us such a hilarious moment that we needed to roll up our car windows and turn up the radio to be able to hear someone farting somewhere near Tiger Woods during the Buick open this weekend. He wanted callers to call in and tell him whether it was Tiger, his caddy or someone in the crowd.
I’m all for a good fart joke but this was pretty pathetic.
opiejeanne - August 3, 2009
lodge is HORRIBLE
Four Ts - August 3, 2009

I really don’t get Lodge. I do my best to support every Angels product but he is hard to listen to. Fire Lodge!
SalmonStream - August 3, 2009
I love the older sounding lady that calls up and is a Dodger fan. Every time she calls, it's just to complain about the Angels.
On another note, did anybody else get irritated at the fact that EVERY SINGLE CALLER to 830am in the past three weeks pronounced Roy Halladay’s name as Holiday? It started to become like nails on a chalkboard for me.
Mayheminthehood - August 3, 2009
ditto!
Everybody calls him Holiday. Nails on a chalkboard describes my reaction exactly.
Downing Rules - August 3, 2009
Me too.
Also.
As such.
opiejeanne - August 3, 2009
I heard one where the caller got both Holiday and Halladay mixed up in the same rant.
About needing another big bat and needing another ace pitcher and back and forth until Biggsy’s brain was scrambled. Half the time the caller was saying Holiday for Halladay and vice versa.
44FAN - August 3, 2009
Ohhhh! I haven't heard her but I think that sounds like
it’s either very funny or very irritating.
opiejeanne - August 3, 2009
I hear her about once a week. It's hilarious because, as usual, Biggsy is very nice and just kind of shuts up while she goes on an inane rant, then he'll come back wit a "okay, thanks for the call. Bye"
The last time I heard her was on Friday, and she was giving Biggsy shit because he said “I’m glad we didn’t get Manny Ramirez”, in regards to the story that broke earlier that day.
Mayheminthehood - August 3, 2009
Just the idea that someone would call a team's radio show
and rant about that team, just that is hilarious.
Is she a little off her rocker?
opiejeanne - August 3, 2009
that's the very reason
I felt David Smith was superior to Biggs. David Smith was a hell of a lot smoother and the show was way more entertaining.
I wonder why Dave Smith hasn’t been picked up on ESPN. I just found out that they have an L.A. Sports show at lunch time, with Andrew Siciliano and Mychal Thompson. Dae Smith could add to that.
Jay Cal - August 3, 2009
Dave Smith seems to have been missing from the Sports Lodge the past few weeks. Wonder where he's been, or was he just a temporary guy on that?
Mayheminthehood - August 3, 2009
David Smith
Was originally the host of the Drive and Co-Host with Rodger Lodge on the Sports Lodge. However, Rodger announced shortly after Smiths departure that he was gone due to budget cuts.
Jay Cal - August 3, 2009
When did Mychal Thompson jump?
He used to be on the Loose Cannons on KLAC 570.
red floyd - August 3, 2009
I think that the Rev should explain why we call Bobby Abreu "Chupa".
red floyd - August 3, 2009
You actually missed the remaining blowhard...
Can’t leave out Bud in Hawthorne lest the missing three amigos.
HALO N BRIMSTONE - August 3, 2009
I think Rev should explain what
6WG means.
And I think there in the tradition of Halos Heaven Rally Rat shirt, the Halos Heaven faithful should sell a 6WG shirt. If I had any photoshop skills at all, I’d have already designed on.

red floyd - August 3, 2009

HaloDutch - August 3, 2009
I think Rev should analyze
If you put this season’s hitting and defense with last season’s pitching, would that imaginary team be one of the best regular season teams ever, similar to the Mariners in Ichiro’s first season?
haloalex - August 3, 2009
How can I call in from England? Skype?
highlandhalo - August 3, 2009
Please discuss this one Rev
Where do we bat Vladdy when he returns to the lineup? Talk about the offense with and without him and what may happen if Scioscia bats him lower in the order. This topic has been bothering the hell out of me.
jtkelly86 - August 3, 2009
There is no place for Vlad but DH the rest of the season/career.
He can’t play right field because of his knees. Expect some regression from the DH spot until Vlad has a few at bats and regains form
44FAN - August 3, 2009
So that sets up a good question...
…if Vlad DH’s, that reduces Nalopi’s time in the role. So to kepp Nap’s bat in the line-up, do you reduce Mathis’ catching days? Teh answer to me is yes, but it may not be to Scioscia.
Interesting question one way or the other.
sothball - August 3, 2009
I think the answer to that is obvious.
Unless Napoli starts playing another position.
44FAN - August 3, 2009
The "obvious" spot is 1B, but you don't want to do that... We've got Kowbell there.

The OC Register had an article a week or two ago about an older guy who was found dead in his apartment. His name was John [Jones, or something]. His middle name was Samo—John Samo _. Made me wonder…very sad nonetheless!
Clutch - August 3, 2009
Wouldn't that just be Rev versus baseball tonight
since everything Ca1LIFORNIA ANGELS writes is just the badly recycled babbling that comes from Phillips, Kruk, & the rest of the baseball “experts”

“Episode” as in “incident”. This was when Rev got all over the case of Physioc here and got some angry stuff back, including a columnist from the OC Register.

Dono Romantico - August 3, 2009
Q: If the Halos pitching woes continue this season
and the current hitting carries the Halos to a WS title, where does that put all of Scioscia’s “pitching wins championships”? If I recall correctly, 02 was won with hitting the crap out of the ball more than pitching.
Dono Romantico - August 3, 2009
we had the best bullpen in the league though....
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - August 3, 2009
only during the final third of the season and the playoffs
Dono Romantico - August 3, 2009
so...the most important part of the season?
I just mention it because your assessment is only partially true and doesn’t entirely lineup with this year. Although our BPen HAS been looking much better….
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - August 3, 2009
in 02 Frankie was called up late in the season
and pretty much from that point in the season the bully was solid, but if it wasn’t for the Halos hitting everybody to death, the Halos don’t win the WS.
This season, pitching is way below normal Halo standards and the only reason we are where we are at is because of the ridiculous hitting going on now. Very reminiscent of the 02 season.
Dono Romantico - August 3, 2009
Wow. You're not just a pretty face.

Ooh. That sucks for the Rangers. I cannot believe that as hot as the Halos have been, the Rangers are still hanging. I thought their collapse would have begun. I hope they keep a bit of pressure still, as it will allow our team to keep its edge. If we coast to victory, we will be slapped back to reality come playoff time.

Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
Arte went out of his way to change the name to Los Angeles
“for marketing reasons”, yet the name Los Angeles is never used during the game by the stadium announcers or the FSW announcers. You don’t see them putting LA anywhere on ANYTHING sold at the stadium.
Dono Romantico - August 3, 2009
I thought he was complaining about that
because that is true
Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
It goes deeper than everyday advertising, I would think. The name was more for the TV executives’ perception of the market, not for everyday “Joe Fan’s” purposes. While it has brought more LA-based fans into the stadium, I still maintain that TV is the target.
Downing Rules - August 3, 2009
I don't buy that at all
the TV executives now the audience they are broadcasting to (the market area). Since everybody in the LA area knows that the Angels are in Orange County and Orange County is Not L.A., it will not make a difference.
Dono Romantico - August 3, 2009
R U arguing against the name change?
Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
I'm arguing against the reason used by Arte for changing the name
Dono Romantico - August 3, 2009
I'd like to see what kind of TV revenue stream has been flowed the Angels direction...
before and after the name change before making a statement like that.
Downing Rules - August 3, 2009
winning drives revenue more than marketing
imo
Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
Then how do you explain the Yankees and Sawx in their not so great eras?
Aggressive marketing, HISTORY of winning, or wealthy ownership? The first two, to me, seem to be the same thing.
Clutch - August 3, 2009
I think you're right
I work w/ a&m guys all the time there’s no way to emperically measure this stuff. it’s all gut
Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
Maybe Arte is going the Raiders route
with just using the team name to generate popularity. LA for the east coast haters, Angels for everyone.
eyespy - August 3, 2009
TV is a Visual medium
so why not put Los Angeles on the Uniforms or somewhere visible in the stadium? Why not allow the announcers call the team it’s real name???

However, I was saying to keep jabbing them with the Angels own the Yankees rhetoric. My Yankee fan friends are getting quite tired of hearing/observing the ownership.
Downing Rules - August 3, 2009

and got toasted by Dibble..“you’re just talking numbers. The East is a better division.” you can’t argue with retards (with al due respect)
Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
The AL West has been a “pick one” sort of division; with all four teams having shots at the top spot. The AL East is ALWAYS Yankees and Red Sox (at least in the small study I did looking back to 1994). Those two are fielding perennial winners.

Angels were playing Bo Sux last year in the playoffs and I couldnt believe how every Yankee fan was rooting for the Angels along with me. NYY fans could careless about the Angels. If anything, they respect us for owning them over the past years but all their hate and passion goes against beating the BoSux.
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - August 3, 2009
To be honest, in a Yanks vs. BoSux ALCS, I'd do the same (in reverse).

Jay Cal - August 3, 2009

Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
Don't eat the brown (acid) guacamole.
Funke5ive - August 3, 2009

Moondoggy - August 3, 2009

UK Halo - August 3, 2009

Moondoggy - August 3, 2009

figgifig - August 3, 2009
I had to make up for being on hold for so long
Just kidding. I’m long winded.
Jay Cal - August 3, 2009
You don't get them if you ask.
Biggsy has to offer them.
red floyd - August 3, 2009
Well done, Jay Cal

Jay Cal - August 3, 2009
i was going to call in w/your name
and use a really gay voice…
(and gay, i mean happy…yeah)
figgifig - August 3, 2009
I thought about using a real happy voice too
it would have been funny.
Jay Cal - August 3, 2009
hey boys!
its Jay Cal!
figgifig - August 3, 2009
Hi guys!!!
I’m super Rev, thanks for asking. Biggs you ROCK!!!
Jay Cal - August 3, 2009
is that your real name Biggs...
or is it implying something else?
figgifig - August 3, 2009
How Ironic
GayCal calling in
Dono Romantico - August 3, 2009
I wish I had a tape to record it
rats.
Jay Cal - August 3, 2009
when my buddy got on local TV....
they sent him the tape for free when he asked. You might want to hit them up…they might send you a recorded version of the show for a small price….
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - August 3, 2009
good idea
thanks BHM.
Jay Cal - August 3, 2009
(younger generation scratch their head)… “tape? What’s that?”
Downing Rules - August 3, 2009
I don't have a digital recorder.
Jay Cal - August 3, 2009

Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
"tape"
Is that Scottish?
Funke5ive - August 3, 2009

Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
Ive been an Angel fan since 1997

UK Halo - August 3, 2009
Also note that Mark Teixeria is in a launching pad
mastermind565 - August 3, 2009
and also he has more at bats than K-MO

Downing Rules - August 3, 2009
about 50-60
Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
so you can add 3 or 4 HR"S
mastermind565 - August 3, 2009
maybe...but that would be a healthy hr per AB ratio
Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
take that back...you're right
Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
I rec that.
But if we kept Teixera, Morales would have played Left Field. Rivera would have played Right. And Abreu would be playing somewhere else.
Jay Cal - August 3, 2009
yes

When I visited OC many moons ago
one of the carnies at the Orange County fair said “Welcome to America” after finding out that I was from Hawaii. Then I got to ride the Zipper for around 30 min.

bruhahahahaha
Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
Yep

eyespy - August 3, 2009
So you avoided staying in Hawaiian Gardens?
44FAN - August 3, 2009

Moondoggy - August 3, 2009
Such a lush place are those Hawaiian Gardens.
Downing Rules - August 3, 2009
I can smell it from here in Glendale.
44FAN - August 3, 2009

A Samoan guy that I met lived there

in the 70's
there were 25,000 Samoans in Samoa, 25,000 Samoans in Hawaii, 50,000 Samoans in Hawaiian Gardens

eyespy - August 3, 2009
Biggs is correct about GMJ batting from the right side.
Funke5ive - August 3, 2009
He gets all funky, and his stance changes from pitch to pitch.
And from the left side he stars to go lower ,and lower as the at bat lengthens.
