I have some friends I could hook you up with.

I hate you for making me do this.

Ron Santo not getting in is bullshit. Sorry but it really is.

I can only hope the commentators had as good of a vocabulary as the players!

Same person who cast the electoral vote for Lloyd Bentsen.

Excellent news. Congratulations to Ryne Sandberg on finally getting in. Any news on Veterans Committee? What's going on with that? I really hope Ron Santo gets in too.

double post

USA I think

I remember that. Chuck Woolery was the host. It really had nothing to do with Scrabble.

Pshaw, I love Lou Malnati's

Probably not, but they wouldn't call themselves the "Los Angeles Clippers of Anaheim" either. If they tried, Stern would find the marketing genius who came up with that and have him shot. I love David Stern. He's so cool. He and I should go shopping some time.

People, people, the solution is simple. Contract the Angels.

Why can't Carlos Beltran fall in love with Chicago like Nomar did? It would make things so much easier. Let's woo him with our finiest deep dish pizzas, Italian beef sandwiches, and Chicago-style hot dogs.

TMI!!!!!

Morrissey and Marr together were never average.

I thought San Bernardino-Riverside was its own area, but Anaheim, I always associate as just being Los Angeles's Schaumburg.

"often whenever"?

I want to hang out with FrigidSoul/Failed Mascot, wouldn't that be an odd pair

I don't think Orange County is its own market. There are no Anaheim TV stations are there?

Who cares? It's greater Los Angeles.

okay here goes 1961ish: Team starts off at Wrigley Field No Not That One The Other One It's In L.A, as the Los Angeles Angels. They moved to Dodger Stadium and stayed as the LA Angels the next year. Around let's say 1966 they built Anaheim Stadium and they moved out of Dodger Stadium, which made a lot of sense seeing as they weren't the Dodgers. Not being in Los Angeles anymore, and not having the A's and Padres to bring it up to five teams in the state, they just said to hell with it and became the California Angels. Then Disney bought the team in 1997 and revamped the team as the Anaheim Angels, to go along with the Mighty Ducks. This also included wearing periwinkle. Arte Moreno then bought the team in 2003 and proceeded to wear a sombrero with an Angels logo, which was cute. Then he decided the Anaheim Angels sounded too small-town for Big-Time Arte, so he dropped all Anaheims from the uniforms, logos, and everything he could, except the pesky Angel Stadium of Anaheim, which he just wanted to be Angel Stadium. I think between October and now they were officially "Angels Baseball." Then he decided he wanted to be the Los Angeles Angels again and the city of Anaheim, which refurbished the stadium from the dual-purpose thing it was when the Rams where there into the current deal with the goofy mountain shit in left-center were all OMGWTF NO and there you have it: Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim.

Hey Ducks boy, I hope you're aware that everything about your team's identity is shitty. Everything.

Okay, I forgot the guy's name, he died like a year or two ago around Christmastime, but he was like some hockey pioneer. Anyhoo, the St. Louis Blues were in a sad state of affairs, they were padlocked out of their arena, bankrupt, all of that. This guy was going to move the team to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where they would be renamed, you guessed it, the Saska Tunes. I'm not making this up. Either the league blocked the move (wow, what a concept, guys!) or the Blues got their shit together, because the Saska Tunes never saw the light of day. Which saddens me. And possibly Banky.

The room, it's spinning. I don't quite know how to handle this, yeah, this is too much, yep, here comes the vomit,

I don't really blame him, though. Nobody would ever care about the Schaumburg White Sox, or the Passaic Mets.
