We lost the Battle of LA

[yk9001]

I really used to hate the Dodgers.  Now, like everything MLB-related, I am pretty indifferent.

But this, in Yankee Stadium the other night, was pretty damn impressive.

[mulwin444]

I'm guessing the lack of attendance and passion has something to do with the fact the Angels are 19 games under .500 with 17 games left.  Just spitballing.  

Battle of LA?  Ok

[Angels#1Fan]

The Dodgers won the "battle for LA" in 1958.

Had the Angels come into the league before the Dodgers moved here it would have been different.

Has anybody told Arte yet? Wondering what ever happened to the Pujols billboards in LA.

They are Dr. Dre and we are Eazy-e

The Los Angeles Angels were a PCL fixture since the early 1900's.  O'Malley bought them and relocated them to Spokane when the Dodgers moved to L.A. only to resurrected when Autrey was granted the franchise in '61.  Oh, and there is this nugget:

" The new Los Angeles Dodgers would adopt the interlocking "LA" cap logo of the Angels, with a color change to Dodger Blue and white."

The Dodgers bought their legacy in L.A...

At least "Angels" is a nickname very specific to Southern California (regardless of how Arte has twisted it for marketing purposes).  The "Dodgers" name came from dodging trolleys in New York.  Has no more to do with Southern California than a team named after the numerous lakes in Minnesota.....So, there's that...

Here is the original California Angels logo when they moved to Anaheim.

Here's the lolz:  They rejected the name "Southern California Angels" because it was too cumbersome.

Must have been rolling around in their graves if they thought "Southern California Angels" was too cumbersome, and then heard "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim".

Nobody calls them that unless they are playing in Dodgers stadium

Just now, CALZONE said:

When the Angels signed Albert to that big contract I posted here that it was too much money and too many years. I was told to enjoy the ride so I guess I was wrong.

I don't remember Albert ever saying "We won the Battle of Los Angeles!" when he was signed.  

The guy is here for 5 more seasons...you might want to pace out the hate a little before you burn yourself out.

If I had my way this would give you a two week ban.  

[ScruffytheJanitor]

Wait, guys, here it is. We didn't lose it; it just slid underneath the seat of my Pontiac Grand-Am. MY BAD. 

[ScottT]

Never seen that in Anaheim

How the hell did you get a flag like that in?

[nando714]

i enjoy going to dodger games 

I root for them to lose in the playoffs though 

[ScottT]

The Dodgers havent won anything in 28 years. 

Fu c k the Dodgers

Why? Did I violate an angelswin policy? 

[mtangelsfan]

I think trolling threads that have nothing to do with Pujols and then insulting him is.  

This is just my opinion.  Claude you seem like a good guy with a lot of quality posts but this Pujols hate is turning you into nothing but a troll.  

[Blarg]

Looks more like the Yankees lost the battle for Brooklyn.
