Mike Sweeney enables "clubhouse chemistry" to be quantified

He's a very personable, sweet, nice chimp. He's not going to be aggressive unless he's provoked. @('.')@

12?

4.5?

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

it's convenient when those running the threads post a link to the new thread

when announcing it

I'm sorry.

You must pay a convenience fee to get the link.

btw

did anyone hear Kuiper’s lame question for Mike Sweeney? “What’s it like to hear what it’s like to be an Oakland A, opposed to actually being one” ugh

"The two of them deserve each other. One's a born liar, the other's convicted."

It hardly matters what the questions were

because Mike was so adorable in all of his answers.

boy, I hope not

Garland just lost/didn’t finish that one

actually, I'm all in favor of retaliation when it's deserved

So long as the ball is thrown well below the head.

But on a crappy changeup that Garland obviously just lost control of? That’s paranoid/hysterical. So, yes, Kendall would advocate doing that. Or Scioscia.

Angels should be fined

for contributing to air pollution in Southern California.

Two out, bases empty, Napoli up

the pitching plan is basically: Anything but a HR – whatever you do, don’t give him something he can hit out. Gak.

There's a new ice cream shop in my neighborhood

I haven’t been there yet, but according to Chowhound, one of their specials is Kalamata olive chocolate gelato. I hate olives, but even if I liked olives, I think I would find that really disgusting.

Logic lesson

I like ice cream.
I like onions.
Therefore, I would love onion-flavored ice cream.

Do they HAVE to send off fireworks for every Angels HR?

It’s already impossible to breathe with all this smog in the air. Environment haters.

Fireworks any other time make the 4th of July seem less special.
