Gary Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I may as well get one going, but if any breaking news, it can always be posted outside these threads. Per the Official guidelines First post, Cubs new owner may push for Peavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Braves emerge as favorites to sign Kawakami from Japan (HOPEFULLY), negotiations with Lowe advance.Well, I'm hoping that the Braves don't get played for fools ONCE AGAIN. But Kawakami seems like he'd be pretty decent. Middle-of-the order type of guy. I'd definitely welcome him here.Kawakami on Youtube.I really hope that this happens...HudsonLoweVazquezKawakamiJurrjensWould (SHOULD) be a pretty nice rotation. I just hope that it all comes together. I'm tired of seeing the Braves get the runaround. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Nice, now we've got a solid 3rd or 4th starter. Of course it will take some time for him to adjust to the United States and our style of play, but he's definitely got the potential to be a decent, dependable starter. Should be another quality import from Japan.I'm happy that this got done, and this helps to possibly get Lowe in here as well. Now if we can get Lowe to come here, and Glavine makes a another crack at a comeback, the rotation will be stout. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Braves sign Lowe to 4 years/$60M deal.Good job. This will be a great rotation this year...and it'll be even better when Hudson gets back. 2010's going to be interesting. Too bad 2009's probably gonna be another wash if the bullpen continues to blow games like they did last year. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarrDogg Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 City of Anaheim drops suit against Angels over nameAssociated PressANAHEIM, Calif. -- The city of Anaheim is dropping its legal challenges to the name of the Angels.Mayor Curt Pringle says the City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to give up its battle to restore the team's name to the Anaheim Angels.The city had argued that team owner Arte Moreno violated the city-owned stadium lease agreement when he changed the name to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in 2005.A California appeals court ruled against the city last month, and an Orange County Superior court jury sided with the team in 2006.Pringle says city leaders believe the wrong court decision was made twice, but says "it's in everybody's best interest to take no further action."Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Anaheim took the lawsuit just out of principal because that's what it was. It was a terrible decision by Arte and it pissed off the majority of the fanbase. Anaheim had to defend itself because the Angels are one of the things that put Anaheim on the map (along with Disneyland). Most of the fans got over it after a while. A lot still call the team Anaheim (like myself) others still call it California, there are some who abide and say Los Angeles (the national media at the forefront because its a long ass name), and there is a big group that just simply call them the Angels with no other designation.Basically, Anaheim was never going to win and this issue has been long passed over.

BBTV Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 So does that mean that the "of Anaheim" is dropped, or that Anaheim just agrees to shut up?

In all my catalogs from vendors who do MLB and MiLB merchandise, like t-shirt designs, they always say "Angels Baseball", even when the other teams' stuff say Location/Nickname, such as St. Louis Cardinals. In some, where it'll say "Location" above "Nickname" and somewhere towards the bottom of the design, "Baseball Club", they will leave off the location and just put "Baseball" instead of "Baseball Club".

Moreno has made an effort to promote the team more as a brand than anything, which is why he removed the navy background from the primary logo. A couple years ago, the team's billboard/bus stop campaign was just to have the A on a red background.Hopefully though, the end of the legal proceedings will allow for LA to sneak in more places than box scores and the "Los Angeles Times" ad on the right field scoreboard.
