2009 for me

Angels 2010: We need a starting pitcher, not a kneeless hitter!

We showed fight in 2009.

Hard to top that.

Nick would be proud.

Results-based analysis

Eyeballing the rosters, the best three teams of those would seem to be 2005, 2008, and 2009. But 2005 was the Josh Paul Massacre, 2008 was a choke-job in Boston, and 2009 it really felt like we lost to the better team after putting up a pretty good fight. To do that in a year of tragedy, after the smarties had (once again!) predicted us to have 80something wins, all while continuing to develop a young talent core … pretty satisfying, as far as disappointments go.

2004 was fun for me.............but 2009 is my choice.

I with Matt above, however….I feel regardless of the team putting up a good fight something happened and many players made some boneheaded plays which were just unimaginable and disappointing to watch………but the guys did fight to the end……

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. - Peter Gibbons

amen to that

killing boston like we did, and blowing up paps… that made 2009 a damn fine consolation.

2004

it is VERY VERY hard to pick against 2004, when we were 3 back of Oakland with 9 games to play. and having a 100-win season was special too, but its all about the play-offs, and seeing us beat Boston made 2009 the tops for me.

You do realize

that we’re still in the first decade of the 21st century, right? it’s 2001-2010, because they started counting at 1, not zero. But so far, I’d say 2009.

You are officially correct.

But, preception is more important. A tomato is a fruit but most people think it’s a vegatable. Let it go my friend. Life is too short to worry about being “correct.” Just smile and feel superior if that’s your aim. When two or three numbers on the calander change, something big has happened. Who invites their children to scoot over and watch the odometer change from 90,999 to 91,000?

The worst “Sienfeld” scene is when Newman was perplexed when Jerry told him that 2001 was the actual new millenium.
 
I finally understand TRUTV’s ad campaign: It’s not reality, it’s actuality.

Who goofed? I've got to know.

And let's further confuse everybody by having them try to calculate
