i still call them 'Anaheim'

i refuse to call them ‘LA’, and they’re lucky i’m still not using ‘California’. just pick a name and stick with it.

Edwar used to be in the Angels system. that might have something to do with it.

I think so too

They released him twice. For a guy who relies on finesse and deception, getting amped up probably isn’t the best thing.

Reliable is a dumb thing to say

This is especially true when what you mean is repeatably, flawlwssly, perfect.

Yankee fans say it because watching Mo for his unbelievably great career has lead them to wrongly believe any pitcher can be reliable.

Leave Mariano Rivera aside and show me a reliable pitcher. Especially a middle reliever.

Face it the best pitchers start. Great pitchers with limitations close. People who cannot close setup. People who cannot close or setup or start do what Edwar does.

Get off his back.

Sorry to pounce on you, but this has been bugging me for a while and I have to let it out.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
