The Angels were amazingly able to unload Esteban Yan (Yawn) to the Cincinnati Reds and unbelieveably we got something other than a bag of baseballs in return.

Somehow, the Angels received Class-A reliever Kyle Edens (2-1, 5.46 ERA) in the deal. I dont know anything about him, but stats seem decent.

Can I get an amen?

2 weeks ago i got my wisdom teeth removed. here's a trippy pic i took upon waking after the drugs and nitrous knocked me out. it was the light above my chair. i dont even remember taking it.

so last night krisdee was watching american idol. I guess i was too. my excuse = the angels weren't playing, they had a daygame.

anyways, back to the story. they announced the winner, showed him screaming with excitement...
panned to his parents, who were crying, and happy...
panned to the other competitors, who were happy for him and cheering...

then panned in the audience, cheering as well....

then...

panned to DAVID HASSLEHOFF. he was CRYING!

i fell over laughing.

"don't hassle the 'hoff"

Saw this on a fitness forum I belong to. I smell bs. If he can leg press 2000 lbs, you can call me "aunt flo" from now on.

I know its not my place to call Robertson a liar, but I honestly don't believe he can leg-press 2,000 lbs; number 1, he's an old guy, and number 2, that's a lot of weight. for anyone. especially Pat Robertson.

my have the times changed. my beloved angels sit 11 games back in the cellar of the al west. watching games has been excruciating.

one could argue we are the WORST team in baseball right now, given payroll considerations:

payroll for a few (horrible) teams:
Marlins $14,998,500
Pirates $40,234,833
Royals $47,294,000
Total $102,516


Angels $103,625

saw a guy beating up a soda machine today, wearing a "rage against the machine" shirt.

i had to laugh.
