Since BadFish(2) Gammons is no longer here to bless us with day to day Angels news and highlights (unless they were in the playoffs getting swept), I'll bring you up to speed with the happenings of the Halos.

• The effeminite fireballer Ervin Santana that the Angels just signed for $30 million? He has a tired arm apparently.


LOS ANGELES -- Angels All-Star right-hander Ervin Santana will open the season on the disabled list with an elbow injury.

An MRI scan traced discomfort in his pitching elbow to a sprained medial collateral ligament, the team said.



• A Dominican being older than what he told his agent? Say it ain't so!


LOS ANGELES -- Angels’ slugger Vladimir Guerrero recently underwent a mysterious transformation. In a span of 12 months, he’s managed to age two years, though there are no physical signs of change. Guerrero revealed he's actually a year older than previously thought, Yahoo! Sports reports. He's actually 34 years old and born in 1975.

That might explains the Frankenstein-esque running style Vlad has developed over the past 5 years.


• Mark Teixeira?

Yeah, that wasn't a bad dream, you didn't re-sign him. You, uh, rented him, in essence. :Wink:

So, since the Angels have been buried on Page 12 of the Sports section lately, I'd thought I'd 'bump' them up to the top.

Aw classic the Dodgers sign their Messiah in dreads and already the trash talk to the promise land starts.

As far as the Santana thing the Angels can afford to have one of their top pitchers injured without the season becoming a loss. Could the Dodgers? No.

I'm actually suprised Vlad is only one year older.

And when is a player no longer a rental? When he plays a fifth of a season and then resigns after no one else was willing to sign him or his troubles, except for a desparate team that has done anything in the last 20 years.
What happens when the Messiah turns into the Anti-Christ when the going gets tough and opts out of his second year? Is he a rental then?

No doubt the Dodgers will be on the front page of the sports section this season but we'll have towait and see what the reason is.

Aww cmon WBDS, the trash talking started looong before the Man Ram pick up. Of course, you'll have people that jump on the band wagon now, but that's something they have to live with.



As far as the Santana thing the Angels can afford to have one of their top pitchers injured without the season becoming a loss. Could the Dodgers? No.

See, that's the sheer beauty of our pitching staff this year. Since we don't have ANYBODY, we can afford to lose someone and our pitching staff still will still suck. "Aim low, and you'll never be disappointed." That's our motto for our pitching staff this year.

Oh, and courtesy from the LA Times:


Reporting from Phoenix -- Coming on the heels of Ervin Santana's elbow injury, it has to be somewhat discouraging for the Angels to hear that pitcher Joe Saunders is feeling some residual effects from the shoulder tightness that slowed him earlier this spring.

Must be something in the water over there in Phoenix.


I'm actually suprised Vlad is only one year older.

Yeah, the guy looks like a Dominican Sanford from Sanford & Son. I thought I saw him driving a red pick up truck the other day to pick up his pension. Guy can still mash though. Just as long as he doesn't have to run anywhere.



And when is a player no longer a rental? When he plays a fifth of a season and then resigns after no one else was willing to sign him or his troubles, except for a desparate team that has done anything in the last 20 years.

Hey, I thought the same thing, but apparently the "rental" issue is big enough for some other fans on this board to use as cannon fodder. I'm all for rentals, I mean, isn't that what a GM's job is to do? To get players to make their team better, regardless if they can secure them for a long term deal and make them a 'franchise' player? I never understood why some individuals were so adverse to someone being a rental, unless they're reaching for straws in an argument.

The reason the Teixiera situation is hilarious is because

1. He really was the definition of a 'rental,' because technically, by definition, once you give a player a contract, even for 1 year, they are no longer a rental. When you get someone for 2 months....

2. They got rid of Casey Kotchman thinking the Teixiera contract was theirs. So now they have neither.




What happens when the Messiah turns into the Anti-Christ when the going gets tough and opts out of his second year? Is he a rental then?

No, considering the definition of a 'rental' above. But, regardless, during his stint, he single handedly propelled a team that according to pundits and experts alike, would never advance to the playoffs, to a NLDS Championship and an NLCS berth, and it was mighty fun ride while it lasted. As I said before, I'm not adverse to 'rentals.' No idea why others do. I mean, Kirk Gibson was with us a 'short' period, and 1 of those years was quite special to say the least. David Cone was a rental that won various rings. Rentals are only a bad investment if you give up a lot of talent in the long run.



No doubt the Dodgers will be on the front page of the sports section this season but we'll have towait and see what the reason is.

I doubt Manny will go Operation Shutdown in L.A. Mainly, because he's only here for a while...he can't develop the animosity with the fans as he did with Boston, because, well, fans in LA are not like di¢k Red Sox fans. Injury? Sure, could happen, but that's part of the game.

As long as the headlines have pictures like this accompanying them:

I'll be a'ok.

DS just be careful how much trash you talk or you might just do to the Dogers what BF2 did to the Angels! lol!

"Renting" players is part of the game and nothing wrong with it. Angels took a gamble on Texiera and lost. Sucks.

I dont think the Manny deal for the Dodgers is anywhere the same kind of situation though. But if you think he's going to put up the same kind of numbers all season that he did at the last season, well you must really believe in the messiah theory then.


And yes Boston fans suck!

Manny's stats last year...

.332, 36 doubles, 37 RBI, 102 runs, 121 RBI in 153 games

Putting up similar stats this coming year isn't THAT far out of the question, but I'd bet on closer to .300 than .330

I don't THINK that DS thinks Manny is going to hit .396 with 55 HR and 159 RBI (or whatever his Doyer stats pro rate out to for a full season), nor does Manny need to put up those kind of numbers for the contract to be worthwhile.

The Los Angeles Times' Mike DiGiovanna reports Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim starting pitcher Ervin Santana (elbow) was diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right elbow and will begin the season on the disabled list. He has been shut down from throwing indefinitely; no timetable has been set for his return.

This is the second in a 3-5 story series that occasionally results in the pitcher getting ligament replacement surgery. And if nothing else, he is continueing the pattern of putting up good numbers every other year. Maybe his arm just isn't able to throw 200+ innings a year.

What does that leave? Lackey, Saunders and The Dream Weaver?

Lackey is solid, there's not much doubt about that, I'm not sure that he's a dominant #1, but he's definitely a front end of the rotation guy.

Saunders had a very solid season last year. It'll be interesting to see if he builds upon that or slides back to his previous form that includes an ERA closer to 4.5 than 3.5, he also threw about 200 innings last year which is double what he did either of the previous two seasons in the big leagues. Some arms handle that well, while others like Santana do not.

The Dream Weaver... he REALLY needs to reverse his current trend which has seen his stats get worse each of the three seasons he has been in the majors. What is more realistic is throwing out his initial 2 months (or however long it was) stint with the Angels and look at the last two seasons. Those two seasons show a pitcher whose record is a little over .500 with an ERA a little over 4.

Other than that what is out there? Kids? The Corpse of Escobar?

I guess it really doesn't matter since it will take about 90 wins to win the AL West unless Oakland's young pitching is better than advertised.

Angels' John Lackey may not be ready for opening-day start

source: Los Angeles Times

Reporting from Tempe, Ariz. -- Angels ace John Lackey has been shut down because of elbow tightness, an injury that knocked the right-hander out of Friday's exhibition start and could jeopardize his scheduled opening-day start against Oakland on April 6.


Damn elbows.

Been kinda quiet around here, so I'll post this gem I found:


The first two weeks of this season have certainly been ones to forget, particularly for Shields and the rest of the Angels' bullpen. Through the first 12 games, they have the highest ERA of any relief crew in the majors (8.31), the highest WHIP (1.93) in the AL (second-highest in the majors), have allowed the second-most runs (38 including six unearned) and the highest batting average in the American League (.310). Five of the Angels' first eight losses have been charged to relievers, tied with the Washington Nationals for the most in the majors.

Plenty of baseball left, though.

Apparently, Scioscia's not too happy:

http://www.latimes.com/sports/baseball/mlb/angels/la-sp-angels-rays12-2009jun12,0,4639403.story?track=rss


"That's a bad game," a grim-faced Scioscia said after watching his team get blitzed, 11-1, by the Tampa Bay Rays. "We need to get better. We need to play with consistency. And if it's the guys in that [clubhouse] that aren't going to do it, then we're going to have to look at some changes."

Look out Howie Kendrick!

Although I dunno why Mike is so worried. The AL West has 1 team over .500. I really don't expect Texas or Seattle to put up much of a fight.


In other news:

• Escobar's $10,000,000 arm is now officially in the bullpen. Since he already wears goggles, he can take over Scott Shield's job.

• The Effeminate Ervin "Not Johan" Santana is getting lit up like a Xmas tree lately.

I can see it now we'll squeak thru, become a wild card , finally get out of the first round off the playoffs and make it to the series against the dodgers and finally have a freeway series.

We will then beat the dodgers (since we seem to have their number no matter how either team is playing) in the series, winning the final game in Chavez Ravine and the dodgers stadium will be over run with red as thousands of crazed angels fans take over.

While I'm not the one to go blaming umpires when teams lose, its safe to say the angels got robbed at fenway last night.

Brian fuentes was absolutely correct in what he said about the umpire not wanting to make the right call because of the pressures of making a call against the beloved red sox in fenway.

This argument is sounding very familiar could it be the umpires were the same guys working the raider game Monday night :Idea: :LOL:

Hey, did you hear the Angels are in the playoffs?!?!?

:Wink:

And i think they won Game 1 against "Red Sox Nation," but I guess nobody heard with all the activity on this thread.

Thanks for giving it up Pimplebuns!

Anyone see that idiot boston fan holding up that sign in like the 7th and 8th saying "See you on Monday TBS" . The baseball gods did not appreciate that and had to drop the hammer on boston!


WHOOO HOOOOO!!!!

ESPN will not be too happy about this sweep.

Who else will they have now to harp about? The Sportscenter/Baseball Tonight crew is on suicide watch.

Even in a sweep, ESPN manages to include the Roid Sux the front cover:

Take care of the Yankees, Halos.

We'll were still alive depite some questionable managing by Scioscia BUT they still got the win and I still have faith in Mike.

Hopefully Saunders is on his game and the Angels bats stay hot for game 6!!
