Angels management: Embarrassing us!!!

[Halohonk27]

Am I the only one that is outraged that we are honoring Mariano Rivera on Sunday in our home?  We should never honor a member of another team....I don't care if he has a million saves and has not allowed a run ever....he is a Yankee and they are and always will be the enemy.  He certainly deserves celebrating but let the Yankees celebrate him in their stadium....I certainly don't want to see it in our home!  Join me in twitter bombing the Angels in hopes that they will abandon their plans to honor the enemy in our house!

Its just you

I just want to warn you that you're going to see a post that says something like "We should honor Craig instead..."

[gotbeer]

We should honor Craig instead.

Why not? There will be more Yankee fans at the stadium. Anyway he's retiring lots of teams will be honoring him, get over it.

Reminds me of the three man name change protest.

[Halohonk27]

I never saw the Yankees honor any Angels....you guys are soft.

[Lifetime]

So the Angels Management is embarrassing us, coming from a guy with the screen name of halohonk... 

[Chuck]

We already covered this at length..

It's a team honoring a surefire HOF career in the player's final season. It's a thing teams do; they did it for Bobby Cox and Chipper Jones, and now the teams the Yankees are visiting are doing the same for Rivera.

 

The giveaway thing is kind of odd, but whatever.

This is true. I have been drinking far too much and not working out enough lately. 

[Halohonk27]

I did not see any previous discussion on this topic...what is wrong with my screen name?

[nate]

Every team in baseball has been doing it.  He is the best reliever of all time...

Have the Angels had any future HOFers do a farewell tour in a Angel uniform?

The Yankees honored Chipper Jones.

[DowningRules]

Is this anything like a 'dirty sanchez?'

 

Reminds me of the three man name change protest.

[Halohonk27]

I don't recall any tribute for Chipper Jones or Bobby Cox by the Angels.  Do you think the Red Sox have a tribute planned for Mariano Rivera?  i highly doubt it.

Let the Yankees celebrate him every night of the season at their house....it is embarrassing to honor the enemy in our ballpark.

I'm working on a thread idea about how much Scioscia sucks, and who could be available to be the next

manager, if he was to get fired.

Gonna be good stuff. Stay tuned.

Did the Angels play the Braves last year? No, that's why!

[Halohonk27]

Well then what relevance does Chipper Jones have to do with this...the Angels did not honor him so who cares about him?  At least some people in the previous discussion hadn't lost their mind and were not OK with this either.

[jshep]

Chipper Jones is relevant because it's another example of teams throughout Major League Baseball honoring a retiring great. 

 

Just like teams, not just the Angels by any stretch of the imagination, are doing for Rivera. It's a standard thing teams do.

[Halohonk27]

I don't care what other teams do...I don't want anyone on another team honored in Angels Stadium unless they were a long time Angel like Garret Andereson or Darin Erstad.
