 I can imagine! The West has been sucha clown show these past few years, too.
 Still, I'm jealous that you live nearby. Angel Stadium seems like the best in
 California to me, though I haven't been to an in person.

 As silly as it was,I love it. The As and Ms have been neck-and-neck for so
 long that it's good to see a real rivalry resurface. A good brawl, nobody got
 too roughed up, and some good camaraderie between the players.

 100% agree that Nevin has to go, though. You can't lose your head like that
 over a HBP.

 I know TTO has been argued everywhere ad nauseam, but the decline of smallball
 really is sad. Someof the most exciting plays come on lucky contact.
