Who would have thought that at the beginning

I kept waiting for him to give us
something, expected it actually. We didn’t need a Tiger...
roar or a Sergio leap, but he should have given us something more. I wanted something more than a daft smile and a gentleman’s handshake. Maybe a poetic pose with his fists raised to the heavens, putter ...

The Los Angeles Angels have spent the first
two and half months of the season living life...
in a washing machine, carelessly tossed and turned, flipped and churned, before wading through the suds to find what’s left. How the Angels avoided what seemed to be an inevitable drowning is beyond me, ...
