Ah, the OTHER salve for another failed Angel season, on AW.

Bashing the Dodgers or bashing Dipoto. THIS is what makes September interesting, eh?

How sad that, for so many of you, baseball season ends whenever the Angels fail to make the playoffs.

The best baseball of the year starts in October...........

why do you even post here?

Because there are knowledgeable baseball fans on this site. Ones that can look beyond the chronic failure of one team, and embrace baseball for the great sport that it is. 

Hang around..........you might become one. 

Or. I guess you could follow UCLA football..........

F**k the dodgers and all their fans and every one that jumped me cuz I'm white and like the angels lmao. Last world series I loved being the only angels fan in my studio in Burbank and telling all the Dodgers fans that I hope they go into every 9th inning with a lead and they think they're gonna win it, just for them to blow it and lose. Loved when it happened- was just as gratifying as the Angels making the playoffs.  

There was only one game in which they held the lead in the 9th and lost and that was a 11 inning game. They made a comeback in the 9th inning in Houston to tie, again that game went 10 innings. 

In the end your Dodger friends had their team in the World Series for 7 games. Scoreboard still says the Angels didn't even sniff the playoffs. 

You give Angels fans a bad rep being a pompus stupid guy.

Thank you for your reply even if you don’t like what I did or said. All the banter with my friends of course came after fully acknowledging they have a great team better than mine right now, guess I should have clarified that. Maybe they did only blow it once in the actual 9th but there were many back and forth lead changes in the series and they didn’t close it which I guess is what I meant when I said “loved when it happened.”

i am a pompous stupid guy

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Unlike most years recently, I actually have a rooting interest this year: Atlanta.

I agree.

the pain my dodger fan buddies felt last year was a thousand times worse than the pain I felt about our season.

So you rip on the Angels every single fucking day for the better part of 8 months x however long you've been a 'fan' and now you're judging people for being happy that our competition isn't successful? 

hypocrite:  someone who conveniently forgets their own faults to point out someone else's.

Because dodger fans, or any other team, dont root against rivals?

Most fans are fans of one team. You take note and admire other teams/players when they do well. You dont cheer for them.

As a kid I used to adopt the Reds as my October team for obvious reasons. This year I’m adopting the Rockies to go along with my Broncos and Avalanche theme

[Pujols4MVP]

I want to see the Astros in the WS, seeing Kate Upton in the crowd shaking her boobs is an added bonus.

Lol my dad did the same. The Angels were shitty when he was a kid & he liked following Pete Rose's career.

In April 2002 I thought the Angels sucked as usual & stopped following them, then later in the year i'm told they are in the playoffs & my jaw dropped.

Cubs win today, and can knock the Cards out by beating them tomorrow.. nothing better for Cubs fans than knocking the Cards out of contention...which they have done every year since 2015.

WeatherWonk would like to have a word with you about your posting habits here on CubsWin.com

[Mark68]

Actually, I am a Rockies fan (when the Angels are not playing them) and a Dodger hater. 

So right now, I'm a Giants fan. Cards did their part today by rolling over for the Cubs, so the Rox just have to win tonight and they're in. And they control their own destiny now as far as the division is concerned. 

So...go Giants!

[Troll Daddy]

When the Angels aren’t winning ... I’m rooting for the Dodgers 

 

[Troll Daddy]

Cardinals gave us Pujols ... and now you’re rooting for them lol

[Angel Oracle]

Cardinals tanked this entire week so far with a 4 game losing streak, granted against the two really solid teams above them in the NL Central.

Dogs should send them a thank you note.

[disarcina]

I am a Cards fan -- they are tanking big time.

lost three straight to Milwaukee this week at St, Louis and lost the first game today of a three game final weekend series at Wrigley.

What was the song that Dandy Don used to sing on Monday night football (GEEZ - that dates me - the entire crew is  gone now -- -Meredith, Cosell, Gifford)

oh yeah -- Turn out the lights, the party's over (Willie Nelson version).

How’s the view from up there?

This is an even-keel perspective. No lofty position needed to enjoy good baseball in October. All teams are to be congratulated that made the grade.

[Troll Daddy]

I’m more of a Nationals fan this weekend 

go Bryce Harper

As long as you can be a hypocrite it’s all good.
