Angels home opener is a joke. 3,000 pathetic souls got discounted tickets

Resurrecting this because I feel much different about this now. After the Astros pathetic attempt at an apology and today Correa blasting back at Bellinger I say come on down. Come and express all your anger at Houston. It’ll be a party and we can enjoy the extra heckling of this hated team. Anybody else change their mind?

Correa thinks he is building team unity by defending Altuve.   I think what he really is doing is proving again that these guys just don't get it....bringing even more well-deserved hate down on the Garbage Pail Kids.

WE the fans put these guys on their pedestals, WE cheer them, WE buy their jerseys, WE make sure to attend their bobblehead giveaways, WE vote them into All Star Games, WE help inflate their egos, WE help pay their enormous salaries. It’s really tough to kick them off of the pedestals that we built for them. 

Baseball is back. Let’s enjoy the games.

It sure would be fun to make garbage can sounds every time Altuve & Co. are batting in Anaheim.    I doubt security would allow garbage can lids  (even small ones)...the'd be too easy to throw at the cheatin' bastads.   Maybe use smartphones?

I'm not really sure I understand your point.  They've screwed up the AL West for several years by tanking  (no fun to watch) and then using their ill-gotten draft picks and cheating to walk away with the division  (also, no fun to watch).   They've selfishly cheated and disrespected the game....I think opposing teams and fans have a right to be unhappy with them.  They were arrogant before getting caught and they are staying arrogant even after being busted.    Now they are getting the anger and disrespect they have earned.  Not sure what pedestals have to do with anything.

The Angels should sign Weaver for one day and let him be the opening day starter.  He will know what to do.

The Umps will be issuing warnings before the first pitch and they'll toss him the minute his now 72 MPH fastball gets too close.   

 

EDIT:  Darn it!  I chimed in too late.

Nothing would instill more fear in the Astros' lineup than getting hit by a 53 MPH 4 seamer.

I would bet no one on the Astros would willingly stand at the plate and take a "53 MPH 4 seamer" from Weaver.....or dismiss it.....I would expect the batter to protest such a transgression....that is why Weaver would be perfect.  You obviously have never watched him compete.

Weave hasnt pitched in like 4 years. And you think he could dial it up to 53. Lol, dummy.

It will be funny if the schedule gets changed and the home opener isn’t against Houston.

I think they’re going to scrap those early April games and our home opener will be against the Orioles.
