Apes and Angels

Yes, we have to admit, we are fans of the Rally Monkey -- in principle.

We really don't like the Angels, and we do subscribe to the conventional sabermetric wisdom that two years ago the Angels basically got really, really lucky. We do, however, have a great deal of admiration for Arte Moreno. He seems like not only a "class act" and a "stand-up guy," but also a pretty danged shrewd businessman and marketer (with the Garrett Anderson extension, maybe not so much).

But, yeah, a monkey jumping up and down on the JumboTron in late innings? Priceless.

As we say here at Monkeyball!, You can't spell "monkey" without "money."
