I already hate the over reactions in the game day threads.

I want to see Mike Trout return to greatness.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Pumped! I have very low expectations this year, so maybe that equates to a more enjoyable experience. I can only hope. 

[Slegnaac]

The Ron Washington era begins today!

[T.G.]

I don't know what the season will bring.  I have my hopes.  I also have my questions.

But today. On THIS DAY.  We're excited for the 2024 season to start.  Damn excited.

We love the attitude the Angels have shown us so far.  We love Wash's leadership. We love the things they're saying. They feel like a team. They sound like guys with a chip on their shoulder.  They're saying things that pump fans up.  Stuff that makes us gulp, grit our teeth and nod our heads.  Let's do this.

The postseason drought hasn't been fun at all. It has sucked. Totally sucked.

But... TODAY, we come together.  Today, we set our doubts aside and we feel a little spring in our step.  There's a twinkle in our eye.  The air is thick with anticipation.

It's Opening Day, baby.

Screw that 79.  I want him to dominate.  I want him to be the guy everyone in baseball is wowed by.  I want Mike Trout to be Mike Trout, GOAT.

I want Trout to make people say Ohtani who this season come out and remind them all just who was mister baseball before the Sho got here. Cheers everyone here is to a fun opening day

One thing I know for sure is Ron Washington is in, by far, THE best position in all of baseball to win manager of the year.

Yeah, they don’t talk about this stuff on The View.

I think the managers of teams with a good shot at making the playoffs are better favorites.
