The fucking Angels? So much for the idea that theres no parity in baseball. Granted they're not a small market team but they're no Stienbrenner Incorporated squad. I really wanted to see Bonds get his ring but I guess that just means he's gonna have to stick around longer to get it. Great series, great season. I was in shock this morning when I read the paper and heard they came back after I left to go to a Halloween party and they were down 5-0. Unbelievable.

Quote:...fucking expansion teams ..... I think after 42 years you can stop calling them an expansion team. Hell, the Angels came into MLB the year before the Mets did. Fuck you Barry Bonds, no ring for you this year, better double up the steroid dosage next year and maybe you make out a bit better.

He only broke a few records along the way. I hate the angels with a passion but give the devil his due, they were an outstanding team. Phenominal old school baseball, they had the homers but they didn't rely on them. Contact hitting, running and great defense. Reminds me a lot of the 96 yankees, it was just meant to be. Back to back 1st time championship winners, Arizona and now the Angels. Arizona was an expansion team, the angels after 42 years, I think earned their place. Did anyone else notice Selig almost call them the "California" Angels? ![[Image: BT-vivalaevolucion-gallery-2756.jpg]](http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i242/gonzostyle/BT-vivalaevolucion-gallery-2756.jpg) http://www.dvdspot.com/member=Gonzostyle http://www.myspace.com/brooklyngonzo http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=770777388 diceisgod Wrote:I LOVE YOU GONZY WONZY SNOOKIE WOOKIE DUMPLIN BUNS!

Angels were the team I wanted because of the effort they put into it, even if Scoscia was the manager.
These were excellent WS games even though no one watched. Back and forth games, great comebacks. The only thing missing was starting pitching, and the Angels put together a good 7th game effort. The only better ending could have been to have Bonds up as a tying / go ahead run. And Gonzo, not only did Selig start with "Ca...Anaheim" (even though he had his crib sheets), but Jean Autry called them "California Angels". Percival is everything Armando Benitez should be (but isn't). Even though he can be wild, he gets the job done when he has to. Nen blew one against Glaus - after Glaus swings at a pitch 2 feet out of the zone, how do you give him a pitch to hit? Well, now onto the Hot Stove league. OK - what big player will the Yankees sign this winter? :poke:

I wouldn't be surprised if they went for Aurillia.
Kent is a no-no since he is about a year or two away from playing 1st base, full time. http://www.dvdspot.com/member=Gonzostyle http://www.myspace.com/brooklyngonzo http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=770777388 diceisgod Wrote:I LOVE YOU GONZY WONZY SNOOKIE WOOKIE DUMPLIN BUNS!

Quote:Hell, the Angels came into MLB the year before the Mets did. ... that's your defense? I consider any team that came into the league after the Yankees an expansion team....

Anybody but the Yankees....thank you God
We're all going to Hell and I'm driving the bus!!!!

Quote:... that's your defense? Well, no actually, the term defense would be completely out of context in this case. It would be my rebuttal to your original statement. Now..... Quote:I consider any team that came into the league after the Yankees an expansion team....... would certainly be an excellent example of a defense of your position. Of course, that may be a silly position to take considering the fact that the Yankees themselves were one of the original expansion teams, but hey, to each his own. :-p

Good.
Fuck Barry. He's great and all, but I hope he never gets his ring.
I will touch the sun or I will die trying.

The Highlanders were in the league before the yankees.

I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you. GonzoStyle Wrote:I pledge my undying love for Arpi, any retraction of this undying love is to be ignored. Nominated for," 2005 poster of the year", by 4 out of 6 mods!

And orioles became the NY Giants :fuggin: |
