The Register reports that an "expert" testifying for the Angels contends that attendance jumped 45 percent after the Halos won the 2002 World Series, which is meant to bolster the argument in favor of letting the team keep calling itself the LOS ANGELES Angels of Anaheim, Cucamonga and the Lower Mississippi. Um, okay, but was it not the ANAHEIM Angels who won that series? Or was it all just a dream? And could you not find similar correlations between former sucky teams who'd just won a World Ser
Irvine-based Taco Bell Corp. announced this morning that it will give a free taco to "everyone in America" if any player steals a base during the 2007 Major League Baseball World Series, which--as usual--won't include the Dodgers.

The only Angel starter who hasn't missed a turn in the rotation, Weaver will be throwing on an extra day's rest. Nine of his team-high 15 wins have come at the Big A, where he has a 2.89 earned-run average. He should get plenty of backup from an Angels lineup that has the best record in baseball agains

Whatever--let's move on to meatier issues.SO...at a carne asada Sunday event, I met someone who works as a chauffeur. This driver has driven New York Yankees to their hotel when they visit and has the pictures to prove it--for the playoffs, they stayed at the Island Hotel in Newp
