Adenhart's last performance was unforgettable, all right. Wish I'd thought of that one!

"Ninth inning vs. Boston in the playoffs hands down. " Mine too without a doubt Worst Angel moment? Figgins and Aybar looking at each other as the ball drops for a hit against the Yanks (here we go again) close 2nd, A-Rods tying homerun in the ALCS

Unless we trade Fuentes, I'd prefer the Angels get a #5 starting pitcher, so Palmer could go to the bullpen. We've already got six relievers: Fuentes, Shields, Rodney, Jepsen, Bulger, and Palmer. We don't need another relief pitcher. We need a short-term #5 starting pitcher, until Reckling is ready to be promoted.

A trend is beginning to be realized in much of MLB. The Lackey contract could be the last biggy. The last year of his contract is for minimum salary IF...IF..he has arm probs the year before. Something like that. Five years for a pitcher going on 32 is too risky. Zambrano is even riskier and costlier.

You have to realize the national baseball 'experts', would flunk virtually any advanced math class. These experts look at the Ms as an 87 win team and then...

Apology accepted. We all share differing opinions at times but try to respond in a civil way.

Now can we move on?

It is a good deal I agree. I wish the Angels would have offered him the same thing.

Can't overlook Sean O'Sullivan's ML debut in SF beating Lincecum on Irish Heritage Night.... 7 innings, 5 hits, 1 run, 5 k. That game was the real turning point in the season in my eyes.
