WiHalofan is out for the day, RevHF is in with your links...
AUDIO: Jim Abbott on Jered Weaver ...A 1-minute clip of Jeff Biggs interviewing Angels great Jim Abbott - Biggsy had been notified that Weaver just passed Abbott for 15th place in strikeouts on the franchise list and Abbott had plenty of praise for Jered despite the dethroning.
GAME RECAP: Monkey W/ a Halo Blog: Game Rewind – 5/25/10 ...An Angel win over the Blue Jays in which having no gnomes turned out to not be a problem.
True Grich: Life in full focus ...James at True Grich missed his first games of the season this homestand because of a family tragedy. Our prayers and thoughts go out to a solid member of the Halosphere.
The Angels, In Order: #51 Tom Burgess ...The Angels in Order blog has made it to the 1962 season in its player by player run down.
Angels Locker has multiple posts on Maicer coming up and Wood going down.
NEW Baseball Blog: You Can't Predict Baseball | You just can't! ...I like it because it doesn't smugly dismiss anomalies like Stat-Core purist blowhards. Instead, it celebrates anomalies that confirm baseball's greatness precisely because they cannot be explained.
90>95? ...My favorite Stat-Core site, The Baseball Analysts, has a detailed examination of pitchers throwing 90 with movement being superior to the ose throwing 95 with none. And who might those be on the Angels? Jepsen (good 90) and Bulger (bad 95).
THIS Date in Baseball History:
1990: Don Baylor is inducted into the Angels Hall of Fame. The seasoned veteran averaged 23 home runs and 87 runs batted in, while batting .262 in six seasons for California. He won the American League MVP as an Angel in 1979.
1993: Carlos Martinez of the Cleveland Indians hits a fly ball that caroms off the head of Texas Rangers outfielder Jose Canseco and bounces into the stands for a home run. The unusual home run helps the Indians defeat the Rangers, 7 - 6
BORN TODAY: Willie Fraser (1964), a bullpen arm the Angels could use right about now...

If I wore a jersey to the game that said "Mice Tits" on the back, would I get thrown out?

I voted dating Salma Hayek
Mostly because I wish I was dating Salma Hayek and I figure if I can’t he should!

Did you scroll down on the YCPB site and see the minor league scoreboard?
10 Friggin’ errors!!!!
red floyd - May 26, 2010
has anyone brought up the fact
that the Halos are going on a daunting 14 game road trip, which was the time needed for the set-up and takedown of the U2 concerts…but now that Bono has gone on the DL the concerts have been postponed?
so essentially the Angels get to go on a 14 game roadie for no reason at all. thanks U2!!! Joshua Tree my ass!!!
I wonder if they’ll reschedule the concert during next season and demand the same thing….probably. Does anyone know if Bono is a Rangers fan????
2pintsofbooze - May 26, 2010
they're telling people to save their tickets
So I’m betting we will have the same problem next year. It’s bullshit, in all honesty. Would they ever do this to the NFL???
firebird81 - May 26, 2010
In the NFL that's one road game, maybe 2 at the most.
red floyd - May 26, 2010
I don't understand why they allow it...
They should just force U2 to do a smaller show that can be setup and taken down in a reasonable time frame.
I understand their problem. their music hasn’t been any good in over 20 years and they need a big spectacular stage to take attention away from their music… but that’s not our problem.

They should move it to the Honda Center
That thing isn’t being used in June.
Commander_Nate - May 26, 2010
you lose a whole lot of seats if you move it
DAD OF VLAD - May 26, 2010
Have U2 go ruin Dodger Stadium
oh wait… too late
ryanfea - May 26, 2010
Do multiple nights
The primary purpose of Angel Stadium is Major League Baseball, and more specifically, Angels Baseball. It shouldn’t have to be diverted from this purpose two seasons in a row now because some rockstars want to have a fancy light show. The NHL is done by June and you can sell out the Honda Center as many nights in a row as you want without interfering with anything.
I’d be just as against this if it was blink-182, AFI, Rise Against or some other famous band that I might want to see. Stadiums are for sports first.
Commander_Nate - May 26, 2010
Send their butts out to Devore!
The Pavilion seats more people than Angel Stadium anyway!
firebird81 - May 27, 2010
This.
dmhead - May 27, 2010
Hmmm. . .
I wonder if this is connected in any way with the Great Garden Gnome Debacle?
rspencer - May 26, 2010
it is an 11 game trip
with 3 at Dodger stadium. Big Whoop!
Rev Halofan - May 26, 2010
And we'll dig all the home games when we really need them laster in the season

true…but still!! hahaha

Maybe they can use the date for a Phish concert instead!

I thought of calling in sick to work today with a strained hip flexor
RexTookMyStash - May 26, 2010
Sounds like baby food for zombies
Gerber strained hip flexors.

I missed Izzy's error...
but find it amusing that he made one his first day back. How bad was it?
Out of the three (Wood, Frandsen, Izzy), he is probably the better one defensively but damn, the hot corner ain’t looking so hot with the leather lately.
First day back though, I’m sure Mice Tits will get back in the groove on the “D” quickly.
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - May 26, 2010
Just a simple boot
as he was charging a grounder, I think. No big deal, really. I would totally chalk it up to rustiness. Remember, he didn’t even have a rehab stint.
jjackflash - May 26, 2010
no rehab stint?
damn, we were REALLY anxious to get him back in there.
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - May 26, 2010
He was hauling ass charging that grounder too. Lotta room for error
Higz - May 26, 2010
So nice to have Izzy and our real team back.
44FAN - May 26, 2010
We might need to extend Wood's DL assignment

I see what you mean
“Where do you want it—the elbow or the knee? Or the hip again?”
rspencer - May 26, 2010
Soth as Bob Uecker
Soth: “Brandon, there’s a guy from the minors we need to bring up. Where do you want it? The hip flexor or the knee?”
RexTookMyStash - May 26, 2010
Whyyyyyyyyy? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????
