The "its early" crowd was right

[yk9001]

Didn't the team look horrible in April?  The bp was a disaster....

 

 

It was early.

[RallyMo]

FIRE SCIOSCIA!

[zenmaster]

Dipoto has to go!

[nate]

They said the same thing the last four seasons.

 

Broken clock twice a day etc.

[Blarg]

The funny part is there were so many adamant the season was over in the first couple weeks and yet the Angels posted a 14-13 March/April. One numbnutz early this year banned himself in the second inning of a game because the Angels were down by three runs and swore they could never recover.

[Stradling]

I'm not quite ready to say we were right.

[Lhalo]

Who was in the "it's early" crowd? Were there meetings at local pubs and what not?

Nothing works better to validate self esteem than an "I told you so."

 

Ribbons and trophies on the way.....look for them in the mail.

No doubt. On April 27th I tattooed "angels 2014 western division champs on my scrotim next to a Mount Rushmore of Arte, JD, Trout and Hatcher (him being gone was instrumental in this accomplishment and for that I am grateful.).

For all the dumb nicknames that he creates, we need something much more creative and lame than "numbnutz".  Maybe "AngelOverreactle"?

You weren't invited. It could have been an oversight.

[laagamer]

Eh

 

It's early

i couldnt fit half that

[yk9001]

For the record, I wasn't part of the 'its early' crowd.

 

I would have bet a million dollars that the bullpen wouldn't come around like it did.

 

If I wasn't on the Fire Scioscia bandwagon, I was certainly on the "I'm sick of him" train.

Years from now, we may all look back on the 2010 to 2013 seasons as the development of a foundation of much better things to come, in a way justifying the positions of those who claimed "it's early" in each of those seasons.  Looking back on the mid to late 90s, and how talented the team was, and how frustratingly close they would occasionally come to reaching the post-season, it's now much easier to see that they were building toward the amazing decade that followed, kicking off with the 2002 season.  I'm not saying that the current team has reached such heights yet, or that they will, but if it turns out that we're entering another golden era of Angels baseball, then the "it's early crowd" has potentially been correct in retrospect since about 2011.

 

Here's hoping!

To me the point of saying "it's early" is not saying "it's early, they'll be good" but "it's early, let's not overreact" with the "season's over" or "this team sucks" crap.

Not bad, not bad...

[tdawg87]

We peaked too soon.

This is perfect so I agree.

[Ohtaniland]

I still say it's too early. What flag will we raise on Opening Day next season? Division Championship? AL Championship? World Championship?

It's too early!

[stormngt]

They said the same thing the last four seasons.

 

Broken clock twice a day etc.

Or in this case five times in ten years.

[nate]

nope

[WallyWorld]

the one thing this board needs more of is 'i told you so's'. well done.

[Blarg]

Wally, remember our PM about Aybar leading off? It's all about overreacting to trivial things.

That and I told you so.

Well, if history repeats itself and many of the people who post here have their way -- the white flag of course.  Only not until the second inning and not until the Ms are leading 2-0.
