Figgy gives halos the finger.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

From Steve Mason:

Chone Figgins told me today that he played in Anaheim, but now he’s with “the real LA…the #Dodgers.”

[Blarg]

Non roster invitee.

[bloodbrother]

Yeah, we're ok with this current Figgy on "The Real LA" team

 

we don't want him

[Reveille1984]

We only sign old dudes from St. Louis and Texas, sorry Figgy

[WallyWorld]

concentrate on making their team first, Figgy.

[jshep]

I see he's moved past complaining about the Mariners pinch-hitting for him and those pinch-hitters winning baseball games for them.

[Blarg]

Sounds like Cano.

[nate]

He always seemed like a good dude on the Angels, he was one of my favorite players.  But what he did in Seattle and then saying this, he is dead to me.

[ELEVEN]

Consider the source

[Troll Daddy]

Figgy is a good guy who helped us win our first Championship ... hope he make it as a utility guy for the Dogs.

 

btw LA Dodgers are the real LA team FYI

[Docwaukee]

Chone Figgins is a VHS tape. 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

It sounds like Bettle Juice is still bitter than the Angels didn't re-sign him to the same crazy contract that the M's gave him.

[DowningRules]

I'm confused: how did Figgy say the hashtag symbol?  Did he literally say "hashtag," or did he make a weird noise like "Poingngggg-bop Dodgers?"

 

I would very much to hear Jose Mota say either hashtag (preferably just 'hash') or 'Poingngggg-bop.'

The Angels are the only native LA baseball team, born in 1961 thanks to the singing cowboy.

No offense TD... but I'm always embarrassed by "Angels fans" that don't know the history of the club... The Angels are the original professional LA baseball team - we've been here since 1901 (more than half a century before the fan-beating-doyers)....

[VariousCrap]

The Dodgers are the real LA team; no matter how many billboards Arte puts up in LA County.

Thank you!

 

The Dogs were traitors who abandoned their loyal fans in Brooklyn.

It's just Figgy pandering to the fans.  Nothing to get upset over. 

[Season Over]

The name change debacle was easier to ignore when the team was actually good.  I know it's beating a dead horse at this point, but it really does give the Angels a permanent little brother complex.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Figgy is nothing without Nathan Haynes.

That isn't true.  The Los Angeles Angels of the PCL are a different animal than the Angels of today.  They played in the same place and Gene Autry bought the name from the Dodgers.  That's it.  

[disarcina]

ah, in a prior article in the LA Times, Figgy said some very nice things about his time in Anaheim and the fans there.......

 

I think Figgy realize going for the gold/ big money in Seattle seemed like a good idea at the time -- and I hope he invested well and set himself up for life -- because otherwise, it didn't turn out to be a good career move.......he could have stayed in Anaheim where he was comfortable, well liked and probably would have either been a starter or, at the minimum, maintained his super sub role that had him starting about 125 games at about four different positions.........in games he didn't start, he would probably get inserted as either a PH or PR in the late innings.

 

Anyone who is watching Figgy this season, I'd be looking to see if he's lost a step or two -- Figgy without speed is just another .250 hitting MIF with average glove.......

I heard the show. Mason made it sound like Figgins said it off the record. In fact he was a little hesitant on repeating what he had said.

[Homebrewer]

Figgy was a late inning, base-running replacement player in 02.

He is lucky he has a ring....because he SUCKED BADLY in the post season when he was a regular.

I like Figgy, but he should STFU when it comes to the Angels.

Very few fans outside of this org even remember who he is.
