LET'S GO HALOS

LET'S GO HALOS

On Thursday morning the City of Anaheim will ask a state appellate court to overturn the name change. It might be the last chance for the city to save the name "Anaheim Angels."

It is up to a special panel of judges to determine the name's fate. Personally, I don't think there's a chance in hell the city wins this, but you never know. I will be happy when the Name Drama is over for good.

ONE LAST POLL ON THE NAME:
I don't care if you'd prefer "California Angels", "Southern California Angels", "Northern Irvine Angels at State College and Orangewood" or any name the team will not be after the outcome of this case. There are only two choices on this poll because these are the only two candidates who have a realistic chance of winning. Unlike this year's presidential election, you may not vote for the Team Name equivalent to an Independent, Libertarian, Green Party, etc. candidate (personally, my Peace & Freedom candidate is "Nova Scotia Angels of Scioscia" so they can be nicknamed the "Scotia Scioscias"). Obviously, you may also exercise your right not to vote.

In recognition of the electrifying finale to the Name Drama, which name should win this battle?

Call me unsophisticated or ADD or whatever, but some of the comments on this site are reaching jackasstronomical lengths. I don't have time to read a 700+ word comment to a post! It seems to me like we've got a number of budding novelists here, and to them I say: Go write a book! I'd love to read it when I'm not on the Internet.

Don't get me wrong -- I love HH for its variety of opinion and interesting points of view on all things in the Halosphere. And I'm sure there are some very well-thought-out rationales for certain opinions. I just don't have the patience to read all six paragraphs of it.

And I certainly do not condone censorship outside of the rules of play here, but perhaps some self-censorship -- rather, self-editing, more specifically -- may be in order. More folks will be more likely to read it, then.
