Angels or Boston / New York

[Nzane]

Home field advantage no more!! Don't know what our outcome will be, but, not a great start by the Dodgers!!

Home field advantage no more!!

Angel fan would not feel the need to bash.....USC/Raider fan(pretty much the same) would.....

I'm just sayin

Dodgers in 6!!!

[SSdad]

If the Dodger fans like to say that the Angels are coached by ex Dodgers, is it okay to say that the Dodgers are coached by ex-Yankees? Torre and hitting coach Mattingly (my favorite player growing up)

The sad part is if there is a freeway series, it will rival one of the lowest watched World Series, the Mets and Yankees. For baseball sake, I sure hope that they aren't leaning to get an east coast vs. west coast series, so that there is a broader audience.

Angels in 5 over the Yanks ( I hope, because i will be at that game)

Dodgers/Phillies......???? Don't really care

ps: I hate the Dodger argument of you only have 1 title and talk to me when you have 5, we have the history, etc... I explained to my friend one day who is a die hard Dodger fan, but also a SD Charger fan, what would you do if a 49er fan was talking trash on your team saying they were gonna beat you? He said he would laugh, because the 9ers haven't been good for many years. I said yeah but they have 5 super bowl titles..................he got the point, and he doesn't bad mouth the Angels anymore.

There is no bigger bandwagon fan than an Angel Fan....80% of them have no clue who Chili Davis is.....or Bobby Grich.....or Rod Carew....or Mark Langston.....or Chuck Finley.....or Superman.......That is a fact.....

Reason being is that most of them are fairweather fans from the OC.....The Angels had not won their title yet when those types of players were still trolling the field for the Angels.....

If you want proof, don't listen to me....Just go and look at Angel attendance over the last 15 years and then go look at Dodger attendance over the last 15 years......Dodgers have consistently been in the top 3 in all of baseball in attendance......Angels have only climbed up there in the top 5 or so in the last 6 or 7 years.....HMMMMMMM.....Wonder why????

Go Dodgers....Damn!....Now we have a DOGFIGHT on our hands with the damn Phillies....

That may be a fact for SOME Angel fans, but not this one!! Been a CALIFORNIA ANGELS fan since I was 5 years old(I used to keep a scorebook, listening to Dick Enberg on the radio!!). Some great names you brought up. How about, Nolan Ryan, Frank Tanana, Mike Witt, Reggie Jackson, Jerry Remy, Doug Decinces, Don Baylor, Fred Lynn, Bo Jackson, Lyman Bostock, just to name a few. Oh yea, Rickey Henderson was an Angel for a short time! So, trust me. I've dealt with the lean years. I dealt with Dave Hendersons homerun in the 9th inning(fortunately, I dealt with it much better than Donnie Moore did!). And, at work, I deal with Dodger fans that don't know a DAMN thing about baseball!! Alot of Dodger fans are very knowledgable. But, unfortunatley for me, some of my good friends at work aren't very bright when it comes to baseball. So, it makes me really hate on the Dodgers.

As for the argument, "the Angels only have 1 World Series ring". Well Dodger fan, remember this. Thats 1 more than you have in your DD's lifetime. 21 years is a long time. Let's just all hope the Angels and Dodgers do thier part, and make this World Series the lowest rated World Series in history!! At least it will probably be the most watched sporting event in CALIFORNIA history!!

"Angels have only climbed up there in the top 5 or so in the last 6 or 7 years.....HMMMMMMM.....Wonder why????"

Maybe becasue if this

Last week ESPN The Magazine named the Angels organization #1 -- that’s right, the best in the (sports) business -- in a comprehensive survey ranking “all 122 MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL franchises by how much they give back to fans for all the emotion, money and time fans invest in their favorite teams.”


Sounds like pretty good ownership to me---

Nice!! Arte Moreno is a great owner, and has really put together a great product for Angel fans. And, he has been rewarded with great attendance numbers. I am a Raider fan, yes. But, not your typical Raider fan. The Raiders SUCK!! Al Davis does NOT know how to run a team!! Until he is gone, Raiders will suck!! If he was HALF the owner Arte Moreno was, the Raiders would be a Playoff team!! But, I am a fan, and will not jump ship!! Just as I didn't jump ship those lean years in Anaheim with the Angels. Now, for at least this decade, we have been one of the best teams, year after year in the Major Leagues.

Please don't call me a band wagon fan!! I've been on this "wagon" since 1973. And, we are taking on passengers. Jump aboard!!

Damn! Now, 2 friends are admitted Angel fans.....All valid points and I forgive you.....I am admittedly in a mood of sour grapes right now of course coming off of an ugly loss.....I don't hate the Angels and I do want them to defeat the hated Yankees of course......I agree 100% with the statement of making this the lowest rated series in MLB history.....I am however, just stating the obvious that every pro organization needs a farm league team....
