Angels Can Stay LAAoA
The Register and the AP via ESPN report that the Angels can keep the "Los Angeles" prefix."In this case, the jury found no wrongdoing, so in my view you don't get to damages and you don't get to an injunction," Polos said while announcing his ruling.Now maybe Curt Pringle can get back to fundraising for his next election cycle...
Local Boy Expected To Do Good. Really Good
... which is why they're they're asking in Arizona when the heck Brandon Wood will make it to the show (use bugmenot.com to evade the registration wall):The most glaring hole for the Los Angeles Angels is at designated hitter. However, Angels general manager Bill Stoneman has said that he won’t even discuss trades involving Wood, the franchise’s top minor league prospect, even if it meant the Angels could land a slugger like Manny Ramirez of the Red Sox.Wood and No. 2 prospect Howie Kendrick are considered the Angels’ middle infielders of the future. Wood set an Arizona Fall League record with 14 home runs last season, and Kendrick is no slouch at the plate either. Kendrick, 22, is expected by many to see playing time with the Angels this summer. Could Wood, who turns 21 today, be far behind?
The Greatest Angel
The greatest all-time Angel has to be Tim Salmon, without a doubt, and with that, my contribution to the Rev's Top 40 series comes to an end. I'll be revving up the Top 40 Dodgers presently, though I hope to expand on the Salmon piece I did at Halo's Heaven as a three-part bio to be published here later on this month. Stop snickering, you...Gagné Leaves Camp For "Personal Reasons"
Dodgers closer Eric Gagné has left spring training camp for "personal reasons", and is expected to return Sunday. "He feels great," according to manager Grady Little.M's Tab Moyer For Opening Day Duties
The Mariners have tabbed Jamie Moyer to pitch opening day against the Angels. His first Cactus League game will be tomorrow, against the Padres.I Want A Refund
What the hell is up with MLB.com providing spring training games only in Windows Media format on Gameday Audio? As a Linux user (and my wife with a Mac, which doesn't have the best Windows Media Player support), all this stuff is offlimits. Missed out on the Dodgers game today, and probably all of ST, too.
Comments:
even if you could get gameday audio to work, you STILL can't listen to the Angels game. The KSPN feed is there one minute, gone the next, and if you CAN get it up, it's one commercial played over and over and over and over.
MLB.tv isn't working for this game, either, so unless you speak spanish, you ain't getting the game on your computer today.

I feel your pain - even the XM Satellite feed was non-existent today.

That's weird. I purchased MLB Game Day Audio in the second inning of the Angel game and listened to every pitch from that point on.

when you are in the gameday audio mode, do you see preferences toward the bottom, it asks you which player you want to use, windows media or real player. Try that.
I did. It insisted on forcing my stream to a WMP stream anyway, as evidenced by the Firefox "install plugin" bar at the top of the window.
I listened to most of the Dodger/Atlanta game via Windows Media and had no problems. I didn't have a chance to try the Angel game.

I tried today on WMP and each time I tuned in, I got the Pirates-Nats game. Perhaps the game was blacked out here in South Alambama.
