Most disappointing moment as an Angels fan (excluding 1986 and 1995)

[fan_since79]

Outside of 1986 and 1995, what is your biggest disappointment as an Angels fan?

 

Mine is when I missed listening to Mike Witt's perfect game because I wanted to watch the Raiders instead. I tuned in to the postgame show on the radio and they were talking about it. I could have kicked myself!

Mine was when I had to go to the bathroom right before the Angels won the 2002 World Series. I should have held it.

Watching Fuentes throw that meat ball to A Rod.

All the other disappointments are down in the noise

Followed closely by Washburn's only pitch he ever threw in relief in the postseason.

Does Joyner's rip of the ROY count? I was so upset. It just compounded the whole year.

I still don't think the pitch was bad. I give credit to A-Rod for hitting it. As I remember it, the ball was low and outside.

Moo falling down the stairs was pretty disappointing. Angels paid good money for a big splash and it got sucked down the drain.

I also wasn't a big fan of getting smoked by the Red Sox in the ALDS three times in the last decade either.

April 9, 2009. Nothing else comes remotely close.

In 09, FINALLY beating Boston, but then actually losing to New York.

That would fall under the category of heart breaking and gut wrenching for me.

Oct 10th 1982.

Oct 10th 1982.

I was just going to write that I thought we were finally over the hump when we lost 3 games in a row against the Brew Crew.

[fan_since79]

Yeah, that Manny moment really hurt. Looking at that photo again hurts, too.

Adenhart

Yup no Angels baseball moment hurts more than losing Adenhart.

 

Aybar's failed squeeze bunt attempt in the playoffs vs. Boston pissed me off to no end.  Such a struggle to score runs, and then that happened.

Forgot about The Bunt. I still don't fault Scioscia. Really upset that Aybar didn't at least make contact.

It was an 0-2 count and Fuentes threw it right down the middle of the plate at like 88 mph, completely straight.  You could have walked the ball out there and placed it on a tee for A-Rod.  Any other stadium in MLB, it would have been a routine pop fly to right field for an out.  But that short porch in Yankee stadium is dumb.

Not winning the series against Boston in '08 was a total disappointment for me. That rotation, bullpen and Teixeira run offense should've won the whole thing.

I think you guys covered the most recent ones well outside the Josh Paul catch.

I was disappointed when Orlando Cabrera was snubbed for a Gold Glove in, I think 2007, by Derek Jeter.

Disappointed in the Edmonds trade. Thanks to hindsight now, that trade got us a three homer game that launched us to the WS.
