  1. Angels won 89 games that year, but the 6-14 April (and Albert hitting under .200 with no homers) is what killed the season.
  2. I remember some of those names. Good to see some of them here. Still waiting for Daygloman (Bobby) to migrate here.
  3. 1981 was my first game. Started going more regularly in 1985. Was a huge fan of Wally World in 86. I had every rookie card of his. Thought he was going to have a long distinguished HOF career. Obviously that didn't happen, but still had a solid career as a good gap hitter who was smooth around first base. I went to a Angels Wives vs Dodgers Wives charity softball game at Cal State LA in 86. Got Fernando's autograph.
  4. Yeah. I started at the MLB Angels board in 2001 as (upstream75) and has posted there since the demise. I remember you, Bekkie, Victorious Ghost (VladsGimpKnee), bumpygrimes, AlwaysWearRedtotheEd (RIP). AG was also Highandinside. Good to see you guys again! I already like this board better.
  5. Yup. 2004. The year everyone loved Arte. Lowered beer prices, signed Vlad, Colon, Escobar and Guillen, installed the Daktronics scoreboard, changed the stadium name to Angel Stadium, and threw out the Ceremonial 1st pitch on Opening Day to a thunderous ovation.
  6. I'm interested to see how Weaver responds to his new stretching excercises. I have a feeling he'll be better than last year. I really liked what I saw from NiTro late last year.
  7. True. And like Kobe switching from #8 to #24. 3 Championships with #8, 2 championships with #24. What number will the Lakers retire?
  8. Well, his glove certainly isn't a fluke. He was the 2010 Gatorade National High School Player of the Year. But so was Casey Kotchman (2001)...and A-Rod (1993).
  9. AngelOracle! You used to post on the MLB Angels board right? I remember the name. Along with Victorious Ghost, BumpyGrimes, and Daygloman (Bobby.)
