SchAdenfreude
The Angels will honor Cal State Fullerton's national champion baseball team during a ceremony before Saturday night's game against the Dodgers at Angel Stadium.Aw... the A's might get a third-round prospect with a wrecked arm? Cry me a friggin' river, Billy. How many VORP-days have the A's lost to injuries this year?Coach George Horton, along with the coaching staff and players, will be recognized on the field as video highlights recap the Titans' recent run in Omaha to the school's fourth national championship.
Don't expect a congratulatory telegram from Oakland General Manager Billy Beane to Horton, though. Beane was outraged that Titan right-hander Jason Windsor, the A's third-round draft pick, was allowed to throw 322 pitches in eight days during the College World Series.
"There is probably no bigger proponent of college baseball than I am, but that's disappointing that an adult wouldn't have the responsibility to put a kid's long-term interests ahead of his own selfish concerns," Beane told the San Francisco Chronicle. "That was selfish and self-serving."
That said, I have trouble working up too much outrage over this. I could have done without the relief appearance, but you don't get too many chances to win the College World Series. I understand Fullerton wanting to win and being less than concerned about hypothetical injuries.
