I have been an Angels fan since 1964. A few ups, mostly downs over those years...2002 was obviously very special.
Since the 2003 season, the Angels have had winning teams, and now three division champions.
Many younger fans that now fill the Big A almost every night don't even remember the losing years.
Or he collapse of 1995 (11-game lead in August)...or the heartbreak of 1982 and especially 1986.
Anyway, back to the future. The problem is, after they won it all - division championships don't thrill me the way they once did. To me, if they don't win another World Series, it'll be a disappointment.
And to me, the Red Sox are the worst of the possible first-round draws. We have to win one of the first two in Boston to have a chance. Lackey is our ace, but he's struggled at Fenway. And Curt Schilling has pitched well in Anaheim, where game 3 will be played Sunday at 12 Noon.
Well, like I said before, to be the best you have to beat the best. Boston is on balance probably the best team, so we might as well get em out of the way early...
GO ANGELS!!
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Yay for the Angels!! They are my new favoritest baseball team. I hate baseball still, but I love the Angels because IJenn loves them so much. She has such a passion in her about them that, actually frightens me at times. But I get it, I'm the same way with the Trojans.
i've been an angels fan since i "discovered" baseball in 1983..it was tough when i was growing up because just about everyone in north of LA but south of SF are dodger fans...
but all i have to say is....
YAY!
i was at Haunt when they won the World Series, would love to have that happen again It was awesome when they announced it via loudspeaker in the park...truly magical
Will there be screams when the sun sets, -=Is It October Yet?=-

I went to Rally Monday tonight and it really fired me up. Bobby Gritch, Jim Abbott, Tim Salmon and Chuck Finley were there, as well as The English Beat, USC Marching Band and the Army parachute team. There were also fireworks. There must have been 15,000 people there.

Of course I am worried about your mental health. I want happiness for all. Like we can all be like the Smurfs. But without Gargomel. He was mean.

To the point that it's scary.
But I love this team. Been going to games since I was a kid and now am a season ticket holder. I know there are more glamorous teams out there ... and more popular teams ... but these are my boys.

Yes. And true Disney fans love the Angels. If you love Disney then you have to love Disneyland, and if you love Disneyland, then you have to love Anaheim, and if you love Anaheim then you have to love the Angels!
And since all of us men love the Angels, let's see if they'll join us at Disneyland this weekend!!!

Specifically, though, Jenn - how is it (besides rooting, of course) that you see us winning this series? Do you agree that a big effort from Lackey in game 1 is maybe the key?
