The Angels just recently overspent to sign Twins free agent Torii Hunter, and his agent Larry Reynolds and Angels GM Tony Reagins finalized the deal at a Del Taco.
During Reynolds and Reagins' conversation, Reynolds said he wanted to make sure that the Angels were truly interested. When he found out they were, he and [the Riverside-based] Reagins decided to meet [last] Tuesday afternoon at the Del Taco off the Serfas Club Drive exit off [California Highway] 91.
"I drive the 91 pretty often," said Reagins, who hails from Indio. "Del Taco is one of my favorite fast food chains. I knew that one halfway between Riverside and Anaheim."
If you've never been to Indio, it's labeled as a destination on Interstate 10 East right above the words "other desert cities." It's basically halfway between Los Angeles and Arizona, just west of nowhere. But Del Taco, now that's a restaurant chain I can support. You'd think a taco chain wouldn't be able to make good french fries, but goddam if they don't taste like God's sweat.
Meanwhile, David Wells, Sidney Ponson, and Neifi Perez all support this movement in free agency. They're all gonna sign with Reynolds, on the condition that they get to attend all negotiations.

Oh, because they too are fat pieces of garbage… I get it
David Wells…That fat fuck….I hated him as a Yankee, and I hate him even more since he signed with whoever with..Piece of shit…
*He signed with…Piece of shit…
Yeah they overpaid for him, but that Angels outfield has the chance to be pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Never trust a man who chooses to negotiate on Taco Tuesdays. 3 tacos for a dollar are to be savored not sullied with business proceedings.
Whatever happened to the Pink Taco naming bid for the Arizona Cardinal's new stadium… or was that all just made up? As if it is really necessary to have another Leinart/Vagina reference anyway.
Why yes I am heavy, why do you ask?
I've been to that Del Taco! If only I had a Delorean or gave a shit about Torii Hunter I could go back in time with Professor Peabody and hang out with him, or at least, y'know, order some nachos.
Never conducted business at a Del Taco, but I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom
@Tony: I too have been there, for breakfast burritos before a round at Green River. If possible, this story has made me even more of an Angels fan.
Next move will be to sign Shawn Green at Der Wienerschnitzel.

I thank you. That made my day thusfar.
@Tony Ritz
It's Doc dipshit. get it right. Who the fuck is Peabody?
@HoHos:
So put another way, you gave someone the business in a BK bathroom. It's similar enough.
@Swany: Professor Peabody is another reference having nothing to do with 'Back to the Future'.
But good call on the 'dipshit' comment.
I believe that's a personal foul. Or Personal Chicken.
@Matt – but did it draw a flag?
That David Wells pic is great. I believe 289 is insinuating that Wells drinks big jars of "DINOSAUR". Wouldn't surprise me at all.
I was able to seal the deal with a "working girl" behind a Rigoberto's Burrito once.
You fellas know how McCarver and the fellas at FOXSPORTS love a good practical joke. Back in the '04 ALDS, we had one of the interns defacate into a flour tortilla and try to pass it off to Brenly as a Del Taco. Well Brenly smelled a rat from the get go and beat the tar out of that intern. It was a scream.
By "seal the deal with" I mean, leave the body in the dumpster.
So? A-Rod finalized his deal on top of a passed out tranny stripper.
I finger banged a stripper named Torii in Myrtle Beach this year. I'm pretty sure it's not the same person.

The best.
Johnny U.–despite lacking a fast food reference, your story is uplifitng nonetheless, and we are all the richer for it. Thank you for sharing.
And the O in "other Desert Cities" isn't capitalized, which always seems weird.
You finger-banged a stripper??? How did you not hit that? Or at least kill her? For shame.
@swany/hardaway: I'll cite whatever time traveling brainiacs I fuckin' feel like. Huh, it's Doc? Really? Here I was living in a cave. on mars. with my ears closed for the past two and a half decades.
