PrintThe Angels are at .500 after ten games. Vernon Wells is batting .091 and Alberto Callaspo is the big bopper in the lineup. But life must go on in the world of awesome fan giveaway promotions.

I'm Still Waiting
for my garden gnome from last year. They never sent it, and have ignored/refused to respond to my numerous inquiries. At this point, all I want is an apology.
Sorry my comment is off-topic, but I’m still mad about it.
I am sorry your Gnome was not delivered. Please accept my apology.

i am sorry
are you sure you were there
or wrote the right address
or apartment number
or live a bad neighborhood
or sent it to someone else instead

I Was There
I dropped my card off with one of the designated employees. I made sure everything was legible. I was at the game with my dad, and we handed our cards in at the same time. He got his gnome (which he has graciously offered to me). I never got mine.
thats a bummer
my gnome is tending to my garden as I type this

I gave my cards to the guest relations people...
I didn’t think that they would make it if I dropped them in the box.
We ended up getting 2 extras which I gave away in here.
I really like the Gnome. I can’t wait for the Bobblehead one.
Cautious yet very optimistic about the 2011 Season. Go Angels.
I had intended
to give mine to my stepdaughter, who has a very impressive collection of garden gnomes and garden gnome-themed items.
That's a damn shame
The whole thing was very badly handled. We were afraid our cards would be misplaced, so we mailed them ourselves. It took forever, but they did come eventually.
not to rub it in...
But they actually sent me two… ;-). I got one and then two weeks later another came.
The Whole Thing
was obviously run in a very haphazard, shoddy manner. OK, I get that mistakes happen. What pissed me off the most was that after leaving countless messages (and even lodging a written complaint with a guest relations employee later in the season), they never so much as responded with a “sorry, our bad.”

Dude. Those hairy, stinky, dirty, little beasts are not cute. Funny, yes.
But if that’s what does it for you, well, Ok.

That monkey appears to be contemplating.
Must be a male.

Probably on the patio furniture.
Looks like he is reading the paper, as well.

How about one of these
Dribbler, Pop Fly, Stranded, Pop out, Down Swinging. All in honor of our fantastic offense.
12/14/10 4:30 a.m. pst. I wake up to find out that Cliff Lee screwed over both the Yankees and Rangers. The world has truly become a better place.

you need the dollar sign so we won’t forget the millions spent on “less than Mathis” performance.

With only 32,000 at last nights game,
the only way they are going to get to 3,000,000 fans again is more gimmicky give aways like this!
CALIFORNIA ANGELS . . . ANAHEIM DUCKS . . . CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS
Only 32,000?
That’s still pretty damn good. It’s only been a decade since they struggled to get 15,000 a game.

Not Worried About Attendance
Midweek games in April traditionally are not sellouts.
Looking back at last year, the team’s second homestand began on a Monday (first Monday of the season was Opening Day), with attendance at 36,006, followed by 35,266; 35,279; and 37,338 before the Yankees came to town on a Friday. And then 34,837 for a Monday night game against Cleveland.
So yeah, attendance is down a bit, but not by a lot.
If the wins start to come more frequently, so will the fans.
Why is the cheapest seat $25 for tonight's game?
Lame blankets? Really? I was hopin to snatch some $2 seats last minute, but no dice.
I love this team.

At least by August 18th, Vernon Wells might have his batting average doubled.
The charge for .182 starts right now.
