Dumbest Thing I've Ever Read (and other stuff)

user-pic

Some quick notes for today...

  • I read the most ridiculous article from a "respected" source this morning.  The Orange County Register has an article online written by sports writer Bill Plunkett asking the question should the Angels trade Vlad Guerrero for Manny Ramirez.  Plunkett must have fallen out of his chair and smacked his head on his keyboard, desk, and trash can before finally hitting the floor to write this dribble.  Or else the room full of monkeys banging on typewriters in his spare bedroom finally came up with something and this gem was it.  Vlad is 5 years younger, $5 million cheaper for 2009, and 5 times the team player than "Manny being Manny".  There's an accompanying poll with the article asking readers opinion, the last I checked it was  NO - 76,  YES - 11.  I bet the Register is happy to see there are 11 people in Boston reading their crap.  Here's the link to the story:  Dumbest Trade Ever


  • Recent trade rumors traveling the internet have the Angels sending Casey Kotchman to Atlanta for Mark Teixeira.  Mentions the possible addition of Juan Rivera in the deal.  I don't like this deal and hope Reagins doesn't do it.  I admit to be in favor of a trade, but not at the expense of a player such as Kotchman unless the Angels get more than a 2 month rent-a-player or if they get the right to negotiate an extension with Teixeira before pulling the trigger on this one.


  • Last night's win made it six straight victories over the defending World Series Champion Red Sox.  When the Angels swept Boston during their last home stand, some people thought the wins were "tainted" because the games were played in Anaheim and the Red Sox were without DH David Ortiz.  Well, shut up fools, the Angels won again...in Boston...with Ortiz.


  • Interesting post on an Angels fansite I read daily, Halos Heaven.  One of the posters remarked about one of the similarities between this year and the nightmare season that was 1995.  After 103 games:

1995:
Record: 64-39
Lead: 10.5 games

2008:
Record: 64-39
Lead: 10.5 games

Uh-oh, don't start printing those playoff tickets just yet.

  •  A few years ago I moved from Orange County to western Wisconsin.  I'd lived my whole life in California, except for a few stops in Memphis and Dallas, and really miss a lot of things about home.  Here in Wisconsin, its hard to get any sports news other than what Brett Favre did yesterday, what Brett Favre didn't do yesterday, where is Brett Favre, and who's this Aaron Rodgers (yeah, I watch a lot of ESPN News).  Mixed in with the Favre news we do get some baseball reports and I've got to say, that Ryan Braun guy is kinda good.
