  1. Shohei Ohtani. I really thought a coveted, star prospect like him would've gone to New York or Los Angeles. I was really shocked he chose Anaheim.
  2. Mike Napoli. You didn't specify they had to turn out pretty good for the Angels, just that they were once an Angel.
  3. How does that Randy Newman song go again? Oh yeah. WE LOVE IT!
  4. It's depressing to see isn't it? I always knew they would become the Tampa Bay Rays of the NL when Andrew Friedman took over, but better than Tampa Bay cause they have unlimited money. The Dodgers are basically the Rays + star power.
  5. After the underwhelming 1st year, I knew it was all downhill from there. He had his moments, but he's basically Vernon Wells 2.0 to me.
  6. Lol, go to any Instagram or Facebook post from the Angels and the first/top comment is always along the lines of "We are not LA" or "Change the name back to Anaheim." I swear some of these "fans" would trade our World Series title along with Mike Trout to be named the Anaheim or Orange County Angels.
  7. My sentiments exactly. It feels like the organization is finally righting the ship, but trading promising young prospects for a FA will undermine all of that. If the Angels traded Adell for a FA, I wouldn't be shocked though. It would be the most Angels decision ever - though I feel with Eppler at helm I don't think we'll make the same mistakes of the past. I hope I'm right.
  8. Do you guys use any other forum or site besides angelswin? I mainly follow this and HalosHeaven, and to a lesser extent r/angelsbaseball
  9. Ughhhhh...someone described it perfectly. I'm not rooting for the Dodgers, but I'm rooting for the Red Sox to lose. And I do have some good Dodger fans so it would be nice to have them enjoy a WS win. But there are also those Dodger fans I really dislike...UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I just know if the Dodgers win it will have a direct impact on my life (I live in LA), but the Red Sox winning won't.
  10. Like this. Why doesn't the Angels feature their city on their away jersey?!
  11. Well, I agree about LA of A. I meant we should keep the LA name, but drop "of Anaheim"
  12. You have some hate for LA, I get it, okay cool bro. What do you want them to be called? California Angels? Anaheim Angels? Orange County Angels? Katella Avenue Angels? Go google any news source and they're referred to as "Los Angeles Angels" by most media sources (example http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/17797876/garrett-richards-los-angeles-angels-sees-progress-healing-elbow). Anaheim is still part of the greater LA area and market even if it's not specifically in LA County. I think the Angels should stick with the current name, logo, uniforms cause that's how they've presented themselves for the last 10 years and it's cool to keep it going, just like how the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers have generally had the same logo, name, design over their history. You go through all this effort to change your name and try to reach the LA market...and then have it undone? What a waste. You say it has nothing to do with today, but I argue it does because the Angels still represent the LA market in the American League. It is relevant.
  13. Except the team was originally called LA Angels and has been called Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for the last decade. It would be embarrassing to switch back to Anaheim or California or to change it to another name. As another person mentioned earlier in this thread, it'd be nice to keep some tradition with this team and I feel that since the org has gone through the route of "Los Angeles" in their branding, they should stick with it. I would say they need to drop "of Anaheim" and just outright become the Los Angeles Angels.
