I almost want to root for a giant meteor

I feel the same way about this that I did about the presidential election in 2016. The difference is that there is no third choice for me in the Series.

This is the Nickleback of World Series.
 

Giant meteor, game 7, in the 9th of a tie game 

I never envisioned a scenario where I would pull for the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series but here we are. 
After typing that I think i’m going to be sick. Correction: After typing that, I’m sick.

I wish for both teams to 0-0 tie for 7 games and start the off season.

If its Eric Chavez it'd be really interesting who he picks as bench manager because he'll be spending some time on the DL for sure

Thanks, Sosh!

Sosh has been the manager for pretty much my entire tenure as a fan. Technically I started "following" during the early nineties but was too young to really remember much. I do clearly remember 1995 bringing the suck. But 2000 was when I started getting truly invested in how well the team was doing and knowing all the players and all that. 
When 2002 happened, I was definitely blessed. I certainly hadn't carried the burden of disappointment on my shoulders the way my dad had, and the way so many of you had, but it was still an incredibly special moment that I'll remember and cherish for the rest of my life. Scioscia was right there in the middle of it all.
In a sense, Mike Scioscia is more synonymous with the Angels than anyone, at least from my perspective. Not Percival, not Erstad, not GA, or K-Rod or Weaver. Not Salmon. Mike has been in the dugout since I was an annoying, bratty kid. He was there through the good and the bad. Though we tend to forget just how much good there truly was.
His decisions have caused so many emotions over the years. Mostly frustration. Sometimes anger. Other times complete confusion. But another one has consistently hidden in the back of my mind, and it's shame. No, not shame for Mike or for the team, but for myself. It's natural to completely overlook decisions a manager makes that ultimately help the team. In fact, we often see something good happening IN SPITE of his decisions. But the shame I've felt has been through all my years of complaining over every little decision, every lineup, every pitching change, and never did I think to correct myself when his decisions worked out. Considering his career record, I'd say he made the right decision more often than not. After all, he was the manager. Not me. There's a good reason for that.
Anyway, while I am fully on board with getting a new manager and moving on from Scioscia, I can't shake this bittersweet feeling that tightens around my chest. It's time to move on. It's time. But I will always respect Scioscia as the greatest manager in Angels history and the only manager to lead this team to a World Series ring. 
For better or worse, the dugout won't be the same without him. And neither will the Angels.

Trading for guys who are pre-injured saves a lot of time on our end.

Rage AO is the best AO.  

Yes.
Every year Boston wins is a loss for humanity. 
And come on. I assume you live out west. Do you really want the Dodgers to win over the Mariners? 

Ask them why they change lanes without looking to see if it's clear first.
Thanks

Lou is going to bump this thread in three years after Griffy's Corner is banned, showing how you were all fools to have paticipated in the biggest troll thread of the year.
Maybe.

The only tough decision with Ohtani will be how many bobblehead nights to squeeze out of his combined Cy Young/Rookie of the Year/Silver Slugger awards.
