Pujols' debut in Anaheim nothing special

Via Fox Sports West  |  April 03, 2012
ANAHEIM - None of this really matters, at least not until Friday, but when Albert Pujols walked up to the plate with the bases loaded in the third inning Monday night, it might as well have been the real thing. The Angels brought Pujols to Anaheim and signed him for 240 million over the next 10 seasons -- for these kinds of moments. Why wait until the regular season to see how...

Steve Bartman And The Myth Of The Beleaguered Cubs Fan

Via Rumors and Rants  |  April 01, 2012
I watched Catching Hell, the documentary by Alex Gibney about the Steve Bartman debacle in 2003, again this Sunday morning. My initial reaction was to just update my Facebook status with something snarky aimed at all my Cub-fan friends (again). God, those people are fun to poke with a stick. Those Cubs fans are, of course, the real villains (along with the press) of the film and...

Adventures at Spring Training Pt2: Angels vs. Reds

Via Players View  |  April 01, 2012
Wednesday was another hot day as I headed out to Goodyear to watch the Angels take on the Reds. I was expecting to see Albert Pujols, Torii Hunter, maybe even C.J. Wilson. Instead, as often happens in Spring Training, the Angels played people like Mark Trumbo and batted Maicer Izturiz clean-up. Mark Trumbo I did get to see Dan Haren pitch, though, and he dazzled for three innings...
