    Shouldn’t that be in L.A.?

    Varnes… I was thinking that too.
    But then, they can be Angels in the outfield even without an investor….
    so if that were an Angels jersey, this would be “Angel’s Angel in the Outfield.”

    (And there you have the extent of my sports knowledge.)

    I don’t believe the Red Sox or the Pale Hose have anyone who can match Jered Weaver’s fastball.

    And, point of order, it is The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

    Watch it, Kevin! You call SS a moron and you’ll answer to ME!!


    (I didn’t know until now that the 1951 movie was remade in 1994, making the cartoon a little less obscure than I first thought.)

    This one seems a bit half-baked

    You know more than I do! Put your fingers in your ears when Kevin78661 is talking.

    I think it was former Angel Jimmy Piersall who had the best description of diapering a baby:

    Lay out a diaper like a baseball diamond with home plate in front of you and second base pointing away from you. Fold second base down to home plate. Set the baby on the pitcher’s mound. Bring first base and third base together with home plate and pin it all together. Of course, in case of rain you have to start all over again.

    Hey Kevin, The Los Angeles Angels can have investors too. See, then he’d be an angel to the Angeles. Lighten up……

    LOL…..
    Thank you, pschearer, that was sweet….
    and thanks perkycat….
    but this kevin78661 person cracked me up!


    He’s apparently too dense to follow a sentence if any words are used with more than one meaning….


    Hope he never runs into a (gasp!) pun…
    cos obviously any non-strictly-literal wordplay is beyond him….


    Varnes…
    look, the guy is so humor-impaired he didn’t even get the point of our joke in the first place…

    My sentence was already about the Angels having angels…
    and he couldn’t understand it.


    I have NO idea why someone like that reads comics…
    but it’s pretty darn funny.
