Unlike 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
by Halos in DE on Oct 23, 2009 9:37 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
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 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.
