But the injury had nothing to do with his pitching or last season’s elbow problems, Santana said. According to the right-hander, he banged his elbow on a piece of furniture three days ago, causing the bursa sac to become inflamed.
I am desperate need for one more team in our Fantasy League.
If i cant get one more person then i need to find a new league.
this league is for Halo Heaven fans.
Not hard core for fun and head to head.
Live draft is this weekend.
Rivera had to run the ball down. Sounded pretty exciting on the radio. Rivera sounds like he’s moving well this spring, another year removed from the broken leg.
If I had gone 202 E to 143 S, I would have been able to continue at 65MPH. I didn’t realize that a different segment of freeway had a 55 zone within it. My bad, you are right, but sneaky of them. I had a 5 second gap between me and the next car in either dirction, so I tend to think I was driving safely. I am certain I was screened out by a semi when I passed the “55MPH” speed limit sign.
Well, there are threats of grandchildren on the horizon and they will live near Microsoft.
But no one’s pregnant yet, and son-in-law just left for 6 months in Beijing, so I see no need to rush into this. Next spring would be a better time to put it on the market, but I have observed a feeding frenzy over a much smaller house in somewhat similar condition two blocks away, on a much smaller lot. It went for a bucket-load of cash, and there were 5 offers the first day it was on the market, one for $12k over list.
and to add to the misery, it is very windy there. If you’re looking for a lot of sunshine you should look at central or eastern washington where, like whidbey island, it is very beautiful and there is nothing to do!
the M’s announced yesterday that Lopez is going to play 3b this season and Figgy is going to play 2b…seems like a waste of a fab defensive 3b in Figgy…
Take me out to the Ball Game..
Take me out with the crowd!
Buy me some peanuts and Crackerjack™
I don’t care if I ever get back
So it’s root, root, root for the ANGELS!
If they don’t win it’s a shame
For its 1… 2… 3 strikes you’re out
At the old ball game!!!
Doesn’t mean he hasn’t been sent down yet. The big league club always brings along a few of the players in minor league camp to fill the bench. However, I honestly don’t remember if he’s been sent down already.
Here’s a health unto Her Majesty
(with a fa-la-la la-la la-la)
Confusion to her enemies
(with a fa-la-la la-la la-la)
And he that will not drink her healt
We wish him neither wit nor wealth
Nor yet a rope to hang himself!
(with a fa-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
with a fa-la-la la-la la-la)
The “Pitch-f/x” value is currently defined as the measurement of
the distance between the location of the actual pitch thrown over the
plate, and the calculated location of a ball thrown by the pitcher in
the same way, with no spin, The new Break value, which is
more appropriate for the common understanding of the term, is defined
as the measurement of the greatest distance between the trajectory of
the pitch at any point between the release point and the front of home
plate, and the straight line path from the release point and the front
of home plate. By this definition, a Barry Zito curveball will have a
much greater Break value than a Brad Penny fastball.
There’s a Broadway star/singer named Brian Stokes Mitchell, and is who I keep thinking of every time I see our new pitcher’s name…if we really hate Brian later on in the season, we could go with “Kate,” as in “Kiss Me Kate” that BSM starred in.
Plus, calling him Mitchell gives us an excuse to make all sorts of MST3K references!
go Angels

Santana was scratched, it's Garrett Richards now.

the kid just got drafted
what do you want from him?
b0rd3rline - March 23, 2010
Just a little bit more control than he showed.
Seemed like he was trying to be fine with his pitches instead of going after the batters. He’s got the stuff to overpower.
angelskid2210 - March 23, 2010
Player pictures are so bad
It is like looking at my daughters yearbook
DAD OF VLAD - March 23, 2010
33 pitches….not good
angelsfan7 - March 23, 2010
will he even be on the 40 man this year?
DAD OF VLAD - March 23, 2010
Nope.
~MMP~ - March 23, 2010
not even close
we just drafted him. it’ll be a few years..
b0rd3rline - March 23, 2010
He's only had 8 starts in the Pioneer League
So he’s very inexperienced. Though he shouldn’t be walking some of these craptastic batters.
XYZ123 - March 23, 2010
Yeah for all the talk of no Seattle offense...

1 run is nothing to be stressing out about.

Does he walk less than GA?

Why would anyone walk a free swinger like him is my real question...
once he is on, it doesn’t take much to score him from any base…
K3YEROUT - March 23, 2010
GA is no threat once on the bases…

this league is for Halo Heaven fans.
Not hard core for fun and head to head.
Live draft is this weekend.
DAD OF VLAD - March 23, 2010
If I join an all Angel fan league, I'm likely to get Juan Rivera stolen from me again
Not that it was a big deal, but he was taken out of “revenge” 1 pick before me in another league and now I have Mark DeRosa starting in my outfield.
In fact, several of my sleepers and backup picks would be gone.
Commander_Nate - March 23, 2010
That would not happen
i have him as a do not draft
DAD OF VLAD - March 23, 2010
Is the whole Angel roster like that?
He was taken because I took Scott Kazmir and apparently that was more of a no-no than I realized.
I guess an outfield of Braun, Either and DeRosa will do for now.

Wow. That's pathetic.
XYZ123 - March 23, 2010
Idk about pathetic.
Lopez hit 25 HR’s last year as a 2nd baseman. I don’t like the fact that Shields gave up a HR, but I don’t think it qualifies as “pathetic.”
b0rd3rline - March 23, 2010
My expectations are very high.
Mainly based on how good Scot was in the past.
XYZ123 - March 23, 2010
My comment was on my "gut" feel that Scot had dominated Lopez in the past
And that’s pretty much true. In 21 career PAs, Lopez is .200/.238/.250 (no HRs).
A limited sample size, but one in which Lopez has had little success.
source
XYZ123 - March 23, 2010
It is just spring
Plus, Shields’ injury is likely the main reason we picked up Rodney and Stokes.

I had a 5 second gap between me and the next car in either dirction, so I tend to think I was driving safely. I am certain I was screened out by a semi when I passed the “55MPH” speed limit sign.

The sooner we get in-dash speed limit indicators the better.

Who did he learn that from?

SoCalWine - March 23, 2010
Blame it on Nathan Haynes...
he gets all sorts of undeserved (my opinion) credit for “fixing” Figgins at the plate.
Downing Rules - March 23, 2010
Aybar?
b0rd3rline - March 23, 2010
Thanks for the update.
I’m following Gameday and “Figgy” disappeared off the basepath and I was worried he had scored on a Kotch HR.

Sorry to hear about that.
Funke5ive - March 23, 2010
Well, there are threats of grandchildren on the horizon and they will live near Microsoft.
But no one’s pregnant yet, and son-in-law just left for 6 months in Beijing, so I see no need to rush into this. Next spring would be a better time to put it on the market, but I have observed a feeding frenzy over a much smaller house in somewhat similar condition two blocks away, on a much smaller lot. It went for a bucket-load of cash, and there were 5 offers the first day it was on the market, one for $12k over list.
opiejeanne - March 23, 2010
In sight of Mordor itself?
red floyd - March 23, 2010
Close, but it rains more.
We are looking at places on Whidbey Island, which would make it somewhat tolerable. Less rain, more sunshine, nice climate.
opiejeanne - March 23, 2010
Whidbey Island still gets a lot of rain..
and to add to the misery, it is very windy there. If you’re looking for a lot of sunshine you should look at central or eastern washington where, like whidbey island, it is very beautiful and there is nothing to do!
Boz86 - March 23, 2010
However, any grandchildren of mine will be completely outfitted in Angels gear from the moment they are old enough to attend a game,

If they don’t win it’s a shame
For its 1… 2… 3 strikes you’re out
At the old ball game!!!

YAY! And I still want to sing it twice at the games, like we used to.
opiejeanne - March 23, 2010
Me too.
Let’s get rid of that Buttercup song, it’s about a loser anyways.
red floyd - March 23, 2010
Harsh, but correct.
opiejeanne - March 23, 2010
Confuse the hell out of people; play the theme from "Maude" instead

Lady Godiva was a freedom rider...
She didn’t care if the whole world looked!

Lady Godiva...
is that the chick that has a song about paparazzi?

I thought it was that she was a flake and a tease, but in an abusive way.

So what?
It’s still a great song.
Not like they are playing Loser by Beck, or Radiohead’s Creep.
UK Halo - March 23, 2010
I'd prefer either of those.
opiejeanne - March 23, 2010
What do teams without two syllables insert instead of "Angels"?
UK Halo - March 23, 2010
Well, teams with one syllable stretch it out. Not sure what they do for more.

Something like that.

Patchett playing SS and batting 2nd, Rivera moves to CF, Aldridge playing RF
~MMP~ - March 23, 2010
They haven't sent Patchett down yet? Is he doing better today?
opiejeanne - March 23, 2010
Just because he's playing today.
Doesn’t mean he hasn’t been sent down yet. The big league club always brings along a few of the players in minor league camp to fill the bench. However, I honestly don’t remember if he’s been sent down already.
b0rd3rline - March 23, 2010
I am kind of surprised he's still playing at all, after all the errors a couple of days ago.
opiejeanne - March 23, 2010
He patched up the defense today.
sorry about that.
Downing Rules - March 23, 2010
Oh, so maybe he's settling down a bit, even if he's being sent down.
Sorry, I’m very impatient and I want them to be perfect RIGHT NOW DAMMIT.

I think Patchett pacthing it up was a joke...
or attempt of one..

It probably is, but I am not up on manga stuff. It's my one failing in life.

Rivera in LF
WTF? I guess my comment earlier about him moving better was legit?
Rivera is the new Figgins. Can play all OF positions, as well as the right side of the IF. How bout we try him at 3rd or C next?

I guess they don’t want to overwork the big team bullpen this early.

Not really, he was a Rule 5 pick who was just returned, so I'm guessing they are just letting him get his work in here
~MMP~ - March 23, 2010

Good infield & outfield defense...

Seattle is the mid-2000 Angels.
Turks Teeth - March 23, 2010
Slows down in the middle a bit
with Milton, Kotch, and the Kid, but certainly the first two can fly
Raaddad - March 23, 2010
The middle of the lineup has good strikezone judgment.
Still a plus, when power isn’t forthcoming, since they can take pitches and advance the runners.
Turks Teeth - March 23, 2010
No doubt about it
gotta keep Figgy and Ichi off the bases
Raaddad - March 23, 2010
Angels should look to partner...
…with Tums and Pepto for a fan giveaway night. At least for ST. And for the season too since I still eat too much at Reagin’s office…er Del Taco.

Turks Teeth - March 23, 2010
he will be called up this year
DAD OF VLAD - March 23, 2010
Maybe late, but I hope not earlier.
He’s still rough. He needs constant at bats, and needs to get better reads on the bases.
He’s super fast, but he gets caught stealing and picked off quite a bit.

red floyd - March 23, 2010
Just out of curiosity
On Gameday, I assume “BRK” stands for break, but is it horizontal or vertical? And what’s PFX?
red floyd - March 23, 2010
According to Yahoo Answers...
The “Pitch-f/x” value is currently defined as the measurement of
the distance between the location of the actual pitch thrown over the
plate, and the calculated location of a ball thrown by the pitcher in
the same way, with no spin, The new Break value, which is
more appropriate for the common understanding of the term, is defined
as the measurement of the greatest distance between the trajectory of
the pitch at any point between the release point and the front of home
plate, and the straight line path from the release point and the front
of home plate. By this definition, a Barry Zito curveball will have a
much greater Break value than a Brad Penny fastball.

Nickname idea for Stokes
Mitchell.
There’s a Broadway star/singer named Brian Stokes Mitchell, and is who I keep thinking of every time I see our new pitcher’s name…if we really hate Brian later on in the season, we could go with “Kate,” as in “Kiss Me Kate” that BSM starred in.
Plus, calling him Mitchell gives us an excuse to make all sorts of MST3K references!
Anyone?
Clutch - March 23, 2010
When you have a name like "Stokes"...
…do you really need a nickname?
Especially “Mitchell”?
Turks Teeth - March 23, 2010
Yeah. Obvious nick is "Stoked"
red floyd - March 23, 2010
Ah, fine then.
Clutch - March 23, 2010
too complex

Clutch - March 23, 2010
Like calling Ricardo Montalban "Doug" or something.
Turks Teeth - March 23, 2010
It can't be "Doug". It has to have a rrrrrrrich rrrrrolling "Rrrrrr" sound!
