The Angels are not an LA team. They do not play in LA. Anaheim is not in Los Angeles. F the Angels and Arte Moreno. There’s only one LA baseball team and they don’t wear that ugly ass red. It’s a disgrace that the league allowed him to use that name. At least the Anaheim Ducks understand. It’s like the Angels aren’t even proud of where they play.

Go get a sweep YR. I look forward to a weekend of your stories bitch slapping those douche bags.

I couldn't help but think about those old discussions about him here on the Links. LOL

Bsbll and MD are, no doubt, very upset about this.

He looks like an 80s porn star. The guy should just shave the mustache too. That looks horrible.

Nope. Good to see he shaved the beard off, he'll save money on black dye. The porn-stache needs to go too.

Haha...I still say Anaheim. The new name is stupid. Isn't the official name something like "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" or something ridiculous like that? I vaguely remember it being something along those lines.

Other than that, though, I'm happy for the team, for Trout mainly. I'd like to see one of the elite players play in more postseason games.

Yeah they all but dropped that “of Anaheim” bullshit part of the name which of course everyone knew they would. That was the whole eventual goal. They’re just the Los Angeles Angels now.

There’s actually some drama going on with them right now because of the resignation of the mayor and some corrupt shit with regards to the Angel Stadium land sale. I’m hoping the Angels were involved in something really corrupt especially that creep Arte Moreno. That would be awesome.

And Anaheim Angels always sounded much better than Los Angeles Angels. Shit even California Angels sounded better. They just can’t accept they’re not LA for some reason. Which is ironic considering people in Orange County fucking hate LA and vice versa. When the Rams moved to Anaheim in 1980 they didn’t become the Anaheim Rams. People would’ve been pissed but honestly they probably should have. I actually think if they became the Anaheim Rams it would’ve helped them in the local community. The Rams were also the first professional team here and they were the LA Rams for 33 years before they moved to Anaheim so at least it made sense to leave the name alone.

I agree with Brett here. They should have just kept it California Angels, that is from the 1965 to 1996 era I remember them. Nolan Ryan, Rod Carew, Reggie Jackson, Fred Lynn, ect...

I hate the 2002 Angles team, so fuck the Anaheim Angels.

BUT........ if you are a hell old dude, they were the LOS ANGLES Angles first. From 1961 to 1964. It is really only a technicality since they had to play at Dodger Stadium for a few years until their place in Anaheim was ready.

They had no intention of ever staying in Los Angeles like you said they were waiting for their stadium to be built. They were always going to be in Anaheim.

It’s not a situation like the Chargers who actually did start in LA and weren’t planning on moving to San Diego, it just happened.

And like I said I’m not totally against the idea that the Rams would have done better had they switched their name no matter that they had been the LA Rams for 33 years. I think the fact that they were an LA team ruined them locally in Anaheim. It’s like they never were committed to being part of the community.

**billy007** · 05.27.22, 03:17 PM

Yeah, it was fine for them to be the Los Angeles Angels when they were actually in Los Angeles

The Blue Jays beat the Angels again! Their 3rd straight win against them! It was a wild game, Toronto had the lead early, then Mike Trout hit a home run for the Angels to take the lead. Then in the 8th, the Angels fell apart! They started intentionally walking batters and Toronto made them pay!

Chapman hit a double, then they walked Springer. Then Tapia hit a double! It was a wild finish in the 9th. Romano allowed a run & just didn't have it. It was bases loaded! He was pulled for Ross Stripling who finished them off! The Angels crowd were actually chanting "Let's Go Blue Jays" during parts of the game!
