Glorious day in franchise history. The day the Halos reigned supreme. This leads into my next point...

Should this franchise have more than one trophy?

Swept by the 04 Red Sox after getting HFA.

05 ALCS loss in five to Chi Sox.

07 ALDS sweep at the hands of a better Red Sox team.

08 ALDS loss to....yepp....red sox. HFA.

09..sweep Sox...lose to a much better Yankees team in ALCS.

10-13 ..miss playoffs...

14..ALDS sweep by KC. Had HFA.

15-17..miss playoffs

Personally I think the 04,08,14 squads underachieved in a big way.

 Your thoughts?

2009. That was our year. 

I'm still hoping for Fuentes to break his arm.

Jeff Mathis tried everything humanly possible to power this team to a pennant in 2009, but found he could not do it alone.

Bizarro Angels.

It was indeed a glorious day.  

My first son was born 5 days after.

He is headed into high school.

Apr 16, 2003 - BASEBALL; Disney Reaches a Deal For the Sale of the Angels. After several years of seeking a buyer for the Anaheim Angels, the Walt Disney Company has agreed in principle to sell the team for more than $180 million to an Arizona businessman, a person apprised of the negotiations said today.

Arte's quest for a championship still eludes him. I doubt that he'll ever win one but he sure did try.

That is stunning. 

Seriously.

Being on social media, I read all the time "wow he/she is growing up fast" and I always roll my eyes.

But in many ways, the World Series just does not seem that long ago.

God, you are such a freaking troll.  Absolutely pathetic.

[fan_since79]

What was wrong with Cal's post?

He gives Arte credit, saying he tried to win a championship. It has definitely eluded him, but he tried.

What's wrong with that? The only title we have was 15 years ago under the ownership of Disney.

This is a wonderfully insightful thread.

[yk9001]

People will go to their grave here refusing to give Disney any credit.

Oh please.  Its a typical claude post.  Always bringing the dark clouds to any positive thread.  And if you think his post was sincere I've got some swamp land in Florida for you.

The original post focuses on some well-known dark clouds.

The only championship in the 56 years of this franchise, and a lot of disappointments as well.

It's telling that you find the championship to be a dark cloud.

Of course it's a bright spot, amidst the general gloom that has been characteristic of too many seasons for this team.

The original post questions why we've only had one title.

Fair matter for discussion.

It's telling that you don't know how to read properly.  He clearly questions why the team only has one trophy.

[well_red]

2008 was the most disappointing to me.  100 wins, Teixeira rental, Hunter Vlad and GA all had great years, as did Figgins, Aybar, and Howie.  62 saves that year I think for KRod?  Fuck the Red Sox.

[TroutField]

What was it about playing the Red Sox in the post season? We just could never catch a break in those series. 

 

And ill never forget that homer Fuentes gave up in 09, when A Rod hit it, I thought it was an easy fly ball but it just kept going and going and going.... That was our year... the Adenhart Tradgedy brought that team together and we were just so freaking good. 

 

im just convinced we wronged the baseball gods at some point.

2005. Pierzenski was booed every single time up by the Angels fans at Angels Stadium every single time he played there. That call was bs.
