Don't Wear a Paper Bag at Angel Stadium

[CaliAngel]

What if everyone in the stadium wore paper bags?

That's one expensive lawn ornament.

How about if everyone stood up and did this after a rally-killing double play or baserunning blunder?

Is that a full meeting of the Southern California Josh Hamilton Fan Club?

I don't get why people do this, especially for a team that has an ownership who is TRYING to win.

It's one thing if you're Loria and the Marlins who basically traded everybody away. But Arte and Jerry have tried putting together a good team and it hasn't worked. Yeah, the season sucks but getting pissed at ownership in that manner seems foolish to me.

Wouldn't continuing to buy tickets and support the club financially but wearing a paper bag at the games show that you support the ownership but are frustrated with the play on the field? If you still buy tickets then, to me, it shows you aren't holding ownership responsible for the mess, since buying tickets provides them with revenue which is the whole reason they run a major league team to begin with.

Good point. 

 

Would anybody here seriously consider putting a paper bag over their head?

No, because anyone dumb enough to put a paperbag on their head in the first place isn't smart enough to consider that train of thought.

You're not giving ownership any additional money if you buy the tickets directly from an individual season ticket holder (not via the Angels team ticket exchange)

"Where did everybody go??"

And in related news, the USGS has reported an earthquake in the vicinity of Anaheim.  They say it's most likely due to the sheer number of people simultaneously jumping off the bandwagon.

Wow. Epic post. Well played sir. Well played.

[Taylor]

But, are the players allowed to wear paper bags?  

 

I'm pretty sure Mike Scioscia has been wearing a paper bag for the past 2+ seasons.

[Mark68]

So...what if everyone showed up wearing paper bags? Would they be able to kick everyone out? Would they want to, since an empty stadium would look so good on TV and all...

Hi Craig!

I am not pissed at management, except that they have not fired the entire coaching staff yet.  This team plays with a lack of emotion, no sense of urgency. They make more base running mistakes than a high school team.  These are all things I blame the coaching staff for. 

 

In the 60's and 70's the teams were not very good but they played hard, I don't see that with this group of players.  After being an Angel fan for almost 50 years I'm not changing teams but I am embarrassed, as the player should be.

Opposed to looking TV good with everyone wearing paperbags?

Hamilton has been wearing a paper bag over his head......without eye holes.

Wouldn't even think twice.

 

The people on here saying whoever does this is a nitwit has a remarkably non-existent sense of humor. I think its an easy, hilarious, harmless stunt, that voices the disappointment of the fans of this team perfectly.

 

"Yeah I'm here, I bought tickets, and I'm a fan, buuuut just in case, lets make sure nobody knows it cause this team is embarrassing."

[Amazing Larry]

If we put a paper bag around the Angels they probably couldn't even hit their way out of it.

[Eric]

 

[tdawg87]

At least some fans are willing to do this. I'm surprised if more than half the people there even know the team's record.

That said, it's still dumb. Just boo them.

But only when he's at the plate.
