Halo fans Outside CA

[Guest]

How many of you are fans living outside of CA? What's it like?

Aside from a semester abroad, I've lived in SoCal my entire life; but in a few months I'll be heading out to either Chicago, St. Louis, or DC for law school. Those are some big baseball towns, so it must be tough being a Halo fan. Lol I'm trying to picture myself rooting for the Angels in St. Louis...

Mlb.tv is your best friend. Best sport programming service and it is not even close. You will miss a couple of the Saturday Fox regional games and that is it.

mlb.tv FTW.  Also the team has been so bad you can do yourself a favor and just not watch at all.

The Angel's terrible start last year saved me a bunch of money on MLB.tv.

It's not hard to follow the team because I'm on the west coast, but it's really easy not to if, for instance, they are terrible in every facet of the game.

They still do that blackout BS? But yeah, I'll buy it for sure since I usually watch every game

Why would it be tough being an Angels fan in another city? I lived in Boston for 2 years, and Texas for 4 years. The only thing that was tough was waking up at 6am after staying up until 1am watching the Angels game.

Yeah, but I'm a fan of the team whether they're awful or good.

I live right outside Seattle. People don't really care about baseball here so it doesn't matter. I miss watching games but J check out the box scores and come on here.

Congrats on law school.  I have lived outside of Ca longer than I haved in Ca.  I found two things to be true, relocated loyal fans are kindred spirits and douche bag Red Sox fans grow like weeds.

[Torridd]

I'm in NY. Been a fan since '79.

Sick burn.

congrats.

 

@Primitive, yeah staying up late to finish the games really blows.

If you aren't interested in shelling out a bunch of money for MLB.tv, the smartphone app is pretty solid at 20 bucks a year.  You can listen to every game with multiple radio feeds, no blackouts, and video highlights.

MLB tv sucks if you live in Las Vegas

Sucks living with pinstriped kool-aid drinkers

I went to college in NYC from 2002-2006. The first year, we bounced the Yankees from the playoffs and won the World Series. That garnered a lot of respect. We bounced them out of the playoffs again in 2005. Yankee fans had an honest respect for the Angels. Mets fans don't matter. Even back then in the baby days of mlb.tv, I was able to watch plenty of Angels baseball. My senior year, I lived in my own apartment, and one of my neighbors was a huge Angels fan, so we became buddies. You really do connect with fans of your team when you're away, and you will find some.

Been in Colorado for 16 of the last 19 years (2 in Portland, 8 months in Dallas). I subscribed to mlb.tv around the all-star break last season. It was about $50 at that time.

 

I had no problems getting the games.

Here's a press release about the 10 year anniversary of mlb.tv from 2012. I really did have to deal with choppy video in a tiny box. We all remember the internet of 2002, right?

Living in Dallas/Fort Worth is interesting.  It's strange being heckled by Cowboy fans.

 

Oh, and MLB.TV is a must.  I watch every game regardless of the success of the team.

Why is that strange?

 

I guess that they feel that they can heckle anyone?

 

Cowgirls (and Romo) suck!

You shouldn't have to much free time being in law school

[H-TownAngel16]

I live in Houston and I obviously do not get much from Astro fans but Ranger fans are awful. Half of them don't even know about baseball much less their own team. 

Just as long as you back the Angels and have good responses to other's comments, you will be fine.

 

And yes, MLBtv is a life saver

[stevestevens]

I watch every game regardless.  It is a lot easier to sit and watch the west coast games because they start at 8 my time and I just have a roku hooked up to the TV in my room.  I go to bed watching the games.  If the games are eastern starts, I just have the game on my phone and the volume real low so I know to pull my phone out if I hear cheering or if Mike Trout is up to bat.  Mike Trout deserves to have every at bat viewed.

True, but I like keeping the game on in the background if I'm studying or something.
