Thoughts on 6:05 pm start for Saturday games?
Hey,
I'm sure this issue has already been discussed ad nauseam, but what are everybody's thoughts on Saturday night home games starting at 6:05pm instead of 7:05pm?
Can somebody please tell me why the Angels decided to make this move? I wasn't that happy with the 12:35pm games on Sunday, but this move on Saturday night sucks even more. Thoughts?

I hope...
In other news, I heard we're starting to sell California Pizza Kitchen personal pan pizzas for $8.25. No more two slices of dominoes. I heard we'll be carrying three kinds: Pepperoni, cheese, and chicken. Not too sure about the chicken selling well. We'll see
The price sucks

It is to avoid the "9:30 rule..."
It is another marketing ploy as 6PM is closer to dinner time, so why not encourage people to catch dinner at the park and spend nearly $100 on a meal, drinks and snacks for 4 people? That's the Angels' ownership's thinking, I will guarantee you. And it is brilliant.
As for the little ones' bed time, ladybug, that is why I bring the dual stroller and let them fall asleep during the game and wheel them out to the car unconscious after the 27th out has been recorded.
unfortunately, the stroller is not an option
I meant that if the game ends at 9pm rather than 10 pm, the moods are a little more tolerable.
yeah, Drew is your hero
I wasn't there on Saturday...

I forecast the odds for the Angels winning tonight to be better than 2-to-1. In 49 previous Texas @ LA Angels battles the Halos sport a 33-16 edge. Here our the Angel won-loss records in all games I have seen them play from 1962 to 2006:

1962-2007 (April 3rd) West Division W-L Records
I did see J.T. Snow hit 3 home runs. Yes, I have seen Derek Jeter hit 6 home runs. However, I only saw Don Mattingly hit 1 home run. I saw J.T.'s father, Jack Snow, score more touchdowns for the L.A. Rams than I saw J.T. hit for the San Francisco Giants. I never saw J.T. Snow hit a home run for the Angels. I saw Jack Snow catch 3 td passes from Roman Gabriel in a 36-17 Rams win over New Orleans in 1969.
Please note that the years (2002 and 2005) I saw the Angels go 6-0 against the Texas Rangers were vintage years for the Halos. Those are the only seasons the Angels won a post season series. The Angels are off to a promising start against the Rangers in 2007. I doubt I will go to six Ranger-Angel games in 2007. I will probably max out at five. It will be a good omen if the Angels go 5-0 in those games. Yes, I will be at this afternoon's Ranger-Angel game. Let's sweep the Texas Toxoids!
