Go Angels!

Wow, how exciting! My wife and I have had this blog for nearly twenty years and I'm finally getting around to posting something, and that something is this: Go Angels!



Now, I know what all you Devil Ray fans are thinking: Why the Angels? Aren't we simply hopping on the band wagon with the rest of Los Angeles? And shouldn't they be the Orange County Angels instead of the Los Angeles Angels of what's its name?



1: You aren't going to find a more exciting and frustrating team. Win six in a row with total domination, and then loose seven out of the next ten while scoring a grand total of 3 1/2 runs. A single run is huge on one day, meaningless the next. Pitching, defense, hitting, and pacing-- one will see a combination on most every night. Plus, they're always the good guys.


2: No, we're not. We've been watching the Angels long enough to have a mental encyclopedia of Rex Hudlerisms. The secret is that while he runs on a loop, he accentuates everything like he's saying it for the first time. The man is just good at what he does.


3: Yes and no. The problem is that if they had Orange County in their name then they'd have to have Orange Uniforms and Rally Valencias (and Cutie Clemintines--inside joke). It would be a mess. At least the name "Angels" goes with Los Angeles (they were originally a Pacific League team--first in LA). When one hears the "Dodgers" they will immediatley think of Trolleys and New York (of course).


So that's it. Now you know where we stand on Baseball.
