John Mugatu is his name, and being a DUMB ASS is his game. These are just a few things that he has said on his "Sport Hubris."

First he chose the Mariners (91-71) over the Angles (90-72) to win the AL West. Then he goes on to say, "They (The Angels) are putting their faith in a healthy season from their whole team, which isn’t going to happen. And this team is least prepared to deal with it. At least they won’t have to get swept out of the playoffs by the Sox AGAIN this year."

The AL West has long been in the grasp of the Angels and while the Rangers and A's have made some noise, the true test will be to see if the Angels can secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs and maximize their use of that stupid monkey.

Who the Fuck does he think he is calling OUR monkey STUPID? I would have loved to see his face when the Angels swept his Stupid ass 2nd place team and ended up going 8-1 against them this year.

“Who the Fuck does he think he is calling OUR monkey STUPID?”

You got me off guard with that one!

Ok, so if our monkey is stupid, and of course our monkey predicted an Angel West title, then I guess that makes Mugatu a marsupial.

Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

I think that we've actually managed our injuries quite well.

Everyone’s contributing in the clutch, even the rookies.

Driven into right-center field, Erstad says he has it...the Angels, world champions!

The Halos are doing a heck of a lot better than that, teo...

What the Halos were able to do this year with their injuries was build some serious depth within the organization AND leverage that depth to the best record in baseball. The success is easy to see, just check the standings. The depth will raise it’s beautiful head once everybody is healthy and competing for slots again. Just think about all the guys making a contribution now who will not have an assured roster slot in the Spring.

Francisco Rodriguez: 2006 to Present: 145 saves. 5 Panthers. As fabulous as Pride, Romero, Gregg, Budde and Dino Ebel combined.

hey, be fair to the guy...

We looked extremely weak at the beginning of the season — remember Lackey and Escobar were both injured with no end in site, Saunders was still mediocre, Santana was still a headcase, Weaver was the ACE, and Garland was the 2-man in the rotation. Our offense didn’t look like it was going to be too fantastic, but enough to put us in 2nd behind what was ~~- at the time~~- a strong Mariner’s team. At least on paper.

I was even pessimistic about the season before it started, so were many in the ranks here at HH.

If you had asked me prior to this season’s start if the Angels would take 8 of 9 from the Red Sox, would have 92 wins with 13 games left to play, and the strongest pitching rotation in baseball without Escobar, I’d have laughed and curled up into a fetal position.

Sure, this guy is an ass on the sole basis that he’s a Red Sox fan, but his pre-season conjecture wasn’t anything too far-fetched. Acuda, you called “Ring#2!!!!”, so kudos to you for your ever-faithful optimism.

that kind of behavior CANNOT be tolerated

bring out the pitchforks!

I want them to hate our monkey...

That’s what it’s for. The more opposing fans and players focus on that “stupid” monkey, the more they are being distracted and letting a marketing gimmick get inside their heads. Long live the Rally Monkey! I hope it gets more annoying than Sweet Caroline and the Tomahawk Chop.

Of course I'm right... I have a UC education.
