Darren Oliver discussion
I saw Darren Oliver while I was working out this morning. He looked at me and said "How is it going?"
So I used that opening to ask if he was going to be back with the Angels this year? He replied "Nope, I'm done, over the hill."
To which I replied, "Then you are working out too hard."
It was kind of funny that he said he was over the hill. He's younger than me so that makes me feel old. He is still in good shape.
I see Rusty Greer, Bobby Witt, Jose Guzman, Darren, Rafael Palmeiro and John Burkett pretty regularly at the health club. All seem pretty nice except Palmeiro who always looks like he crawled out from under a rock and and doesn't talk to anyone except pretty girls.

I hate Darren Oliver
Maybe I'm a bit irrational - I just remember seeing those horrible starts in 2000 after our playoff run thinking to myself that this cannot be happening. And I blame Oliver.

I agree
Seems like a decent guy though. Wouldn't mind having a beer with him and listening to baseball stories (lots of homeruns allowed).

Palmer
I think it's because I was home in Dallas to listen that summer. I have flashbulb memories of waiting in the car before meeting people, listening to his rally-killing/game-ending Ks.
My undying impression of him is he just couldn't get it done.
