Was that John Kerry behind the plate last night? "Actually, I called him Out before I didn't call him Out."

I don't like to cuss on this blog. You might have noticed that the closest I may come is to use an underscore or some other symbol to obscure the full brunt of the cuss word while still preserving the effect and impact of the word itself. And yet, after witnessing the officiating disgrace in last night's Angels-White Sox game, I have but one way to describe it:Absolute fucking horseshit.By now,

I'm picking the Angels to win the ALCS in six games...I just can't figure out how exactly.The news just came down that Bartolo did not make the roster which is obviously a huge blow to an already awkwardly aligned rotation. The Byrd Man in Game One on three days rest, a sickly Washburn in Two, presumably Lackey and Santanna in games Three and Four. The White Sox are rested and fully loaded where

I predicted that the Angels would rock The Big Unit.Of course, I told no one of this so it counts for nothing. Thus, I will now go on record with my prediction for tonight's Game Five.Angels 5, Yankees 2.Obviously, a prediction for tonight's game from an unabashed Angels fan is not something to take to your bookie and put any money on. I admit, I am somewhat biased....but I am only biased in the

Aubrey Huff shhh-ing the Anaheim crowd Sunday....My question is, Shouldn't such a gesture be saved for the playoffs or at least for a team that is likely going to the playoffs? Should a guy hitting .262 on the second-worst team in the American League really be shhh-ing anyone, especially after a solo shot in the 3rd inning? Should a player on any team be shhh-ing if his first name is Aubrey?

I don't know much about politics which is why I don't talk about them much, leaving that to my friends at SoapBox Politics, a.k.a. The Right Wing Brotherhood. Some would ask, why do I maintain this blog then, since I know little of sports either? To that I can only say that I find sports more interesting and far more unpredictable. Plus they've got the whole instant replay thing going for them.

Since just about every columnist, blogger, and reporter that covers the Angels will inevitably do an off-season needs/possibilities report and will undoubtedly do it a damn sight better than me, I have decided to make my mark by turning in my analysis early. This is in no way a concession that this season is for all intents and purposes over for the Angels. It's simply my way of striking before

Everybody take a deep breath, consult your calendars and, please, calm the f_ck down.This current Angels-A's series in Anaheim is obviously a big one with first-place on the line, but let's not get ahead of ourselves and dramatize it into being the make-or-break, be-all-end-all series that will decide the ultimate fate of all mankind. The Angels lost a heartbreaker last night thanks to their

Apparently, it's also contagious.First the Terrell Owens Saga, now this story out of Washington.Not only are fans wearing jerseys to emulate their favorite pro athletes, but now they are apparently mimicking their greed at the bargaining table.

There were two big events yesterday that have brought me out of seclusion (in the West Wing) to talk about, the re-hiring of Phil Jackson by the Lakers and the odd confrontation in the 7th inning of the Angels' loss to the Nats.First off, as a Laker fan, I am thrilled to see Phil Jackson returning to the team. I realize this will mean that I will have to endure countless "stories" throughout next

I wouldn't want to lose my loyal readership for a lack of posting.--It's important to have goals in life. As of this morning, I have set a new one for myself regarding my career.

Since a two-person majority has requested I argue against Jermaine O'Neal's accusation of racism against David Stern and his age-requirement ideas, I guess I will have to take a crack at it. Personally, I think it's pretty difficult to argue that something doesn't exist (see atheists' arguments that there is no God), but, what the hell, the people have spoken and far be it from me to deny them

In a recent espn article, Indiana Pacers' forward Jermaine O'Neal explains why NBA Commissioner David Stern wants to raise the league's minimum age requirement from 18 to 20. His theory? What else, racism of course."There were seven high school players in the All-Star Game, so why we even talking an age limit?"Good point. I'll go one step further and ask, Why we even talking about guys skipping

I'm no sabermatrician. I read "Moneyball" like everybody else, but it didn't exactly revolutionize my way of thinking or become my lifeforce as it has for so many baseball fans. However, watching the Angels play the past two nights, I couldn't help but think there might be a yet-unknown statistic to better define certain areas of the game.I give you the CFY. I trust it will become second nature

I am going to file this story away and bring it out the next time somebody tries to extol the virtues and purity of collegiate athletics or even dare to utter the term "student-athlete."
