Offseason Week In Review - October 28

It's been a quiet week for the Angels as the World Series brings Red Sox Nation to unprecedented levels of arrogance and obnoxious behavior. I guess the Chowdas suffered for years as New York was arrogant and obnoxious and then suddenly Boston beats them and they collectively decide: "Hey, we can be way more wicked awesome obnoxious."

Headlines for the past week (October 22, 2007 - October 28, 2007)

• 2008 Schedule Released
  
• 2008 Spring Training Schedule Released
  
• RP Chris Resop claimed off waivers by Atlanta

2008 Schedule Released

The Angels open on the road in Minnesota before coming back for the home opener against Texas. The Freeway Series is now the Freeway Game as the Angels and Dodgers play only once this year. The Padres are replacing the Dodgers for the remaining two preseason games.

2008 Spring Training Schedule Released

The popularity of Spring Training has really taken off in the past few years. It used to be a couple thousand fans in the sun and now it seems like there are sellouts every game. I suggest catching the Angels in Maryvale or Surprise where the crowds are smaller.

Chris Resop Claimed Off Waivers

Who's Chris Resop? Good question. The Angels got him for Kevin Gregg last season from Florida. Resop was up with the Angels for a couple of weeks in July and made 4 appearances. He had no record with an era of 4.15. At AAA-Salt Lake, he was 1-3 with a 4.57 era. Resop injured his pitching elbow in July and did not pitch the rest of the year. He has since had surgery and completed rehabilitation.
