Thankful for Halos Heaven

I was just reading the message boards on the angels home page and couldn't help but write this. The amount of crap that is written in there is just (as Tim McCarver would say) dispicable. I could not believe the stuff I was reading, just the most off the wall, idiotic suggestions for what the team should do now. Not to mention the hoards of Red Sox fans just smack talking for days. The angels fans commenting in there too though, just the most pathetic and embarrassing fans. I'd post a link but I don't know how to use the html tag thingy and don't want to get the Rev in trouble. Its under "angels still feel the sting"  or something like that on the home page. I wouldn't bother reading the mindless garbage anyway.

 

So knowing that wouldn't be tolerated here, I just wanted to thank the Rev and everyone else that contributes so much to making this the far and away best angels baseball site to visit.  All the info and analysis is top notch and I truly feel spoiled and grateful now knowing I'm apart of the best angels fan community out there. Thanks again.

Agreed!

I check Halosheaven multiple times a day. Hardly ever actually check the team site though. Better stuff here! Good job Rev.

Bunch of whiney bitches on this site

But they are Angel faithful and pretty thoughtful. Doubtful if you can do better than that.

Lot of ful. But that’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

Maybe ManRam will hire out Dion "Prime Time" Sanders to take care of Time McCarver

A good ice water bath should do the trick

Willie Mays Aikens is FREeeeeeeee

He did that like three times also

That is awesome

The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.

I am SOOOO tempted to trun that pic into my avatar!!!

Looks more appropriate for "scareduck".

At one time, I was thinking about Super Chicken for my avatar…

but since we have the Rally Monkey, I thought George of the Jungle might be offended…

..and I couldn’t find a pic of either one holding a bat or wearing a glove.

I can't read the message boards on the Angels' board anymore.

The messages there are just… I don’t even know the right words… if that message board had a face, I’d want to punch it.

I think the reason this site is so good:

1. Better Angel fans with a sense of humor and a brain.
2. Rev and co.‘s close moderating. The crap can’t get too out of control.

Angels message boards are worse than callers to Angels talk after the games

I did not think that was possible. Man, they always have the stupidest callers. I usually tune in for comic relief.

"Umm...SoCalWine?

Do you, um, do you think that Vlad is going to hit a lot of home runs this season?"

This is funnier than sh!t, sir

and a prime example of what makes this site great. To capture perfectly the essence of an AngelTalk caller in written form…VERY well done indeed. ELLing thehell OL everytime I read it and I first read it yesterday. I was leaving the stadium last year I think and I heard someone ask Terry, …wait for it…why they didn’t play the Calling All Angels video (??!!). Now, I love me some Calling All Angels video, whoever put that together is some kind of genius, I think I get choked up every damn time I see it (and I’m House minus the compassion) BUT if I somehow miss it, I’m not gonna get on AngelTalk and ask Terry about it. Instead of wondering the entire game and planning to ask Terry, I might ask one of the ubiquitous ushers, “Hey, what up with Calling All Angels?”. “You must have been taking a piss, sir…”, would be the reply.

Holy Bad Grammar, Batman!

I just looked at the boards on the official Angels website…

For the first and LAST time.

I want my 30 seconds back.

Typical Angels message board post

OMG I CANT BELIV WE LOOST

WE NEED AROD

I say we trade Willits and Oliver for A Rod
And then get Pujols for Bootcheck and Weaver

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....

I think the moderating is the key

It’s like a really great restaurant where the proprietor is on the floor and actually cares about what is happening. The quality stays high. Thanks, Rev. And all the other editors. This site is far superior to its peers. Bring back Zu Long!

No witty sig here.
