Q is one of those guys I envision being a coach someday. Not a real impact player, but a student of the game. Give him a break. He’s becoming a locker-room guy and Scioscia rewarded him for his “team-first” attitude.
Blogging is FUN!
they were hoping that he would trip and run it out
arte is a huge flintstones fan.
all jokes aside, he does seam to be a great clubhouse guy.
There is an "Angel in the outfield" and his name is GA! ps. he is lazy but not a bum GO HALOS!
Yabba-dabba-doo!
Just the Angels showing Q a little love.

I don't mean to sound like an asshole
but if I do, I apologize beforehand.
Anyways, I don’t know about everyone else, but I am sick of these division championship banners and these massive clubhouse celebration bonanzas every time we clinch a playoff berth. The only thing that should be celebrated is a World Series championship. It’s not like we are the Pittsburgh Pirates or Kansas City Royals, who would kill to even have an above .500 season.

You are not an asshole… just wrong.
Never take any trip to the postseason for granted. I cannot tell you how painful it was that only 3 times out of 41 years had we ever tasted that champagne.
Break out the Cooks, baby! We’re celebratin’! Look at me, I’m Michael Phelps!! WOO HOO!

agree, to a point
The Angels are now a top-tier franchise that shouldn’t rest its laurels on raising division title banners. However, winning the division is not an easy thing to do, especially year after year. Like you said, the Pirates and the Royals would love just a sniff of a playoff berth, but I also remember the days when it was the same for the Angels.
It’s important to celebrate these victories, even though they are not the ultimate goal.
Let's count the chmpagne corks shall we....
3 in ’02, 2 in ’05, and one each for: 79, 82, 86, 04, 07 and 08.
So that is ELEVEN. There are 162 games a year. I went to my first Angels game in 1975 but lets say there wer four years’ worth of games that I spaced out on due to being strung out somewhere… that is 4,860 games… so that is one celebration for roughly every 440 baseball games… NOPE, not enough yet to get sick of these celebrations at all.
Nice link...
I am totally confused but hell…good for a laugh.

you get so alone at times waiting for your team to clinch
that it just makes sense

We aren't anymore.
But those of us who remember how it felt when WE were the Pirates and Royals will never take being the big dogs lightly. Besides, the thread of good ownership is thin. If (God forbid) anything should happen to Arte, what becomes of the Angels? There’s no guarantee we get that lucky again.
So enjoy this feeling of being among the best every year, because there’s no way to know when it will end, or how long it may be before such Halcyon days return.

Figgy to Ninja: Are you trading me?

Yep, my attendance at the “Del” has diminished since they discontinued the trio of $3 bargains. My colon is much happier now, though.

Is there going to be a pregame /guesses thread today?
Robb Quinlan is the “utility” man on the Angels, and there is a need for utility in raising that banner.

is that part of Lackey's leg sticking out from the bushes there on Thunder Mountain?
It's a beautiful day for baseball.
