Angels are red. Dodgers are blue. Whatever
From time to time I have made a snarky comment or two about the Dodgers and their fans That shouldn’t be misconstrued into some sort of belief that I hate the Dodgers or their fans in any way because I really don’t My disdain is reserved for the Oakland A’s It’s a rivalry thing So, what about this Angels/Dodgers deal? Well, if you live in the Los Angeles/Orange County/Inland Empire area, chances are you’re living among one of the two …

Tradition
The Angels 2010 marketing campaign is “Tradition ” You’ve probably seen the billboards in and around southern California by now with the “a” in tradition being the Angels’ logo The first time I saw one of these billboards, I thought to myself that it was an odd choice for a campaign After all, that word tradition seems to be a better fit with teams that have been around a lot longer It fits a team like the Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox, Cardinals, etc …

BBA BLOGZKRIEG! 2010 Auction Makes Ray Romano Monologues Seem Fast-Paced
We're exactly one week into the auction process in the Baseball Bloggers Alliance's inaugural "experts" league and just under 50% of the players have been rostered That said, more that 75% of funds have been spent and only two teams have more left in their coffers than they've laid on the table It'll be up to them in coming weeks to wield the jesus-stick against imprudent owners who think they can sneak Alex Rios through the draft for nothing more than a crisp two-dollar bill The most shocking development from the first week was Ryan Lester's extravagant version of the infamous "studs & scrubs" strategy In just over 48 hours, Mr …
