PrintUnlike Yankees fans, many Angels fans do not have to dust off some old yellowing history book to relive their team's great moments - our greatness is not locked in some vault, the Angels are achieving their greatest moments right before our very eyes!
Yesterday, the 2009 Angels became only the 2nd Angels team to surpass the 101 victory hurdle.
Angel Teams W-L leaders with playoff record added to regular season record:
2002: 110 - 68
2009: 102 - 68
2008: 101 - 65
2005: 99 - 73
1982: 95 - 72
1986: 95 - 74
2007: 94 - 71
2004: 92 - 73
Note: The 1979 ALCS champion Angels won 1 postseason game and lost 3, but their regular season record lags behind 3 Angels teams with better records - 1989, 2006, 1985 - that did not make the playoffs.

In a way, I thought Rally Wino(who apparently was completely sober) was awesome...but also thought he was a douche at the same time.
I immediately thought of the nation making judgments on Cali people while watching it, but then I thought “So they’ll think we’re fun loving drunks just looking for a pool to jump in?” and realized it could be way worse.
Whatever dude.

Me too.
At first I was worried about what people would say, but then I thought what the hell. Let it all hang out. Who gives a shit what everybody thinks. Now if the dude was wearing a Yankees T, it would have been another story.
We should fly that guy to the Bronx and have him do the same thing. Skanks fans would pop a major artery.
God needed a starter. RIP #34
BTW, does anyone know what kind of shirt he was wearing?
Kinda hard to tell.

What's "Yagermesiter"?
Obviously you’ve had way to much Jaegermeister!

I think I got that shirt for my birthday...
2009 ALCS shirt in red, the Anges and Yankees home jerseys on the front, and both team’s rosters on the back.
It’s decent but other then the red coloring is not an Angels specific shirt. It was the only clean Angels shirt I had to wear to game 3 though, so I did.
It could happen! Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.

I think guys who run on the field are idiots, but....
I thought this was funny. Probably because it was original and not cliched. I’ve never seen anyone bath in the fountain before. Original and funny.
From the view section you could see the guy slip and fall. He disappeared momentarily and it looked like he might have seriously injured himself. I wonder if he got the normal $5,000 fine and a night in jail or just some sort of disturbing the peace ticket. He didn’t actually enter “the field of play” after all. Lawyers chime in.
found it
Fans got a little comic relief in the bottom of the sixth inning when a fan climbed out onto the rock pile in center field and splashed in the fountain.
Police weren’t laughing, however and dragged him quickly to a holding cell behind the stadium.
The distraction came while Angel outfielder Juan Rivera was up to bat, temporarily halting the game. Police warned before the series began that any trespassing onto the field or other prohibited areas would be strictly prohibited and punishable by a misdemeanor charge.
I honestly cannot recall thatthe stadium message included a warning about "other prohibited areas".
When I saw the guy splashing in the pools, my first reaction was that he was going to get arrested, but that the police were going to have to invent the charge.
You too can be a baseball media analyst! Just don't allow your need to be wrong in public to get in the way of your ignorance.
It's only after a homerun
and the action won’t interfere with game play if they can only get outta there in a quick like fashion.
wonder if that got him laid?

Dude was hilarious, though I wanted to kill him after the 7th inning debacle that followed his wet n’ wildness. We won though, and all is forgiven.

It is a relatively un-moderated commenting system there
Therefore, it usually turns pretty quick into a punch of people arguing about illegal immigration and throwing around racial stereotypes.

LOL!
Reliving past memories?! Then you post about records! 102 this year, wow, impressive! Oh yeah, the Yanks won 103 in the regular season, 3 against Minnesota and another 3 against you already (with another on the way)…. what is that, 109? LOL!
I am glad to be reliving past memories! Locked in a vault! What a tool!
I'm glad at least one yankees fan can count.
good job…but next time don’t doubt yourself. 103+3+3 is 109.
You took that as an insult?
Wow you’re a tool.
The Yanks have a history the Angels do not. Angels history is now.
RIP #34
Angels History?
You are a tool!
Go play golf, see you next year!

you won...
now go away.
I love this team.

Meaningless, but,
with last night’s victory, the Angels will not have a losing record for these playoffs. They are currently 5-3 and even if they get to the series and get swept, they would still come out 7-7.
Captain, there are doubt's...
I feel like such a jerk
I turned the game off after the yanks went up 6-4 and went to do laundry. Then I called my friend and had him dictate the entire bottom of 8th and top of 9th to me. ; )

i was so close to turning it off.
but the remote was about 15 feet from me… and i was not very motivated.

from a cop
He’s 29, from El Cajon, according to Anaheim Police Sgt. Rick Martinez.
And, in what will undoubtedly surprise many who watched Cervera traipse around the rocks and flop into the fountain behind center field, he was not drunk.
He was detained on a citizen’s arrest — likely by stadium personnel or security — and detained in Anaheim’s jail Thursday night. He has since been released, and faces charges of trespassing, a misdemeanor.
He will not face charges on public drunkenness, though, a clue that officers didn’t find him to be "unable to care for himself or a danger to others," Martinez said.
he was not released, maybe from angels custody but he is currently in jail right now
just go ahead and believe the media if you want to but I am just relaying what I know
If he was booked in OC by midnight...
…his name would appear in the first link I provided.
Not buying your story.
Jeff Mathis getting some love on MLB Network
linking him to some other post season surprises.

Probably mentioned with guys like Francisco Cabrera (ATL ’92), Craig Counsell (FLA ’97)

I’d like to be able to get an Adenhart t-shirt (those were AWESOME) and I’d even pay $10 extra for it to go to a charity in Nick’s name.
come on….us fans need something too. Those patches just aren’t all that
The postseason makes such strange heroes
Of course this is all going to come up at the arbitration hearing too.
I was at the game
and that guy scared me. I thought he was gonna jump
FUCK TEIXERIA AND THE YANKS. Time to fuck shit up!
this was great, even funnier that fox shows it
because most networks don’t show fans running onto field. I was at o’s angels game this year when the guy tapped the southwest sign.
he got a misdemeanor? i thought it was a felony (special rule made for sports).
I wondered the same thing
Though I laughed, I was puzzled that they kept the camera on him, gave him close ups, etc. I thought it was sort of an unwritten rule that the networks had not to give people like that “air time”, figuring if they did then others would follow suit in hopes of their 15 seconds of fame. In fact, there was a Dodger game recently I was watching where a fan ran out onto the field but the camera immediately left him and the TV just showed the players watching the action and the spectators.
At least diving in the water was more original than just prancing around the outfield.

The good old days
were when you could get into the game for free after the 7th inning.
These are the Golden days.
I don't remember being able to do that, but I never tried, either.
I was referring to all of them historical wins of the Yankees back in the Olden Days, in comparison to the Angels right now.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
The Yankees have won a lot of world series...
…the vast majority (18 if I count correctly) of which were won with 16 major league teams, instead of the current 30 teams.
That doesn’t undermine the achievement. The Yanks had some great runs with some great ballplayers. But, it is much more difficult to win it all when there are almost twice as many teams.
As everyone knows, the Yanks current advantage is the ability to greatly outspend any other team in baseball. What would they have done this season without Burnett and Sabathia? They could come up with only 3 starters for the post season, and 2 of the 3 were signed as free agents last off-season. And, if they had used a 4th starter, it would have been a guy (Gaudin) they traded for during the season. It doesn’t speak well for their ability to develop starting pitchers.
