btw: Los Angeles = "The Angels" in Spanish.

I can understand the push thematically, but geographically Anaheim is 30 miles south of LA in an entirely different county.

It feels like a different country for the most part.

That is fucking idiotic.
If it's that big of a problem they should change the name to the Anaheim Celestial Beings.

They could put them in Dodger Stadium and no one would even know.

New Jersey Giants
New Jersey Jets

I guess there is a bit of precident. That one goof from Denver had a decent idea on Around the Horn that the Angels should go by the O.C. Angels (for Orange County).

I still think the dilemma would best be solved by just renaming the team. They could name it after that stupid monkey or something.

hey if Kenny Rogers can pitch in the playoffs with pine tar, what's a little rosin on the hat?

Indeed Steve!

Apr 7 Bob Watson, baseball's vice president for on-field operations, spoke to Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim general manager Bill Stoneman Friday, April 6, in regards to a blogger's accusations that CL Francisco Rodriguez had doctored the ball in the series against the Texas Rangers. Manager Mike Scioscia said Watson told Stoneman the matter was not being investigated, according to the Associated Press.

Lately I've noticed several hitters wearing gloves.

Mana is a performance enhancer, right?

"It's easy for a guy sitting at his desk, watching television, to put pictures on the Internet. But I hope he has something better to do than to mess with people. He has no clue what he's writing about. I don't even know who he is."

So K-Rod (if healthy) has pretty much guaranteed probability of breaking Thigpen's season saves record.

He got his 42nd save today with 62% of the season complete vs Thigpen's 57.

He needs 16 in the next 61 games.
