My Angels just won the world series...

[ACamp1900]

well maybe not, but this makes us a (if not THE) definate front runner. I LOVE Casey Kotchman, LOVE THE KID, his glove is the best in baseball BY FAR... and his bat is coming on, but if we were gonna move him this is what I would want in return... I'll be there next weekend for the Yankee beatdown

Angels trade Casey Kotchman for Braves' Mark Teixeira - Los Angeles Times

 

[ACamp1900]

I will say this, after we win our fourth striaght series with Mark T. I hope to see Casey back in an Angel Jersey... he was the name without a face top prospect of ours for about four years then he was the kid who could field but couldn't hit and starting last year he was one of the best four to five all round firstbaseman in the game...

he'll win tons of games for Atlanta, both with his bat and his glove

Go Angels!! They are my new team now that they won seven in a row over the Red Sux

 

[Bubba]

Angels 4
Sox 0
Top of the 5th

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

There's still a lot of baseball to be played before the playoffs start.

 

[ACamp1900]

What a day... we get Mark T. AND come two outs from no hitting The Evil Quagmeyer...

Every fan base has their days... today is ours for sure

Go Halos

always knew you were just a fair weather fan

I wonder if the Sox are going to make some deals. We've ben on a slide lately.

I'm with Joe Saunders... hopefully they'll trade manny to the NL and we wont have to see him anymore...

I hear the Pirates and willing to deal their fourth and fifth best 3rd baseman...

Is the trade deadline Thursday or Friday?

I'm gonna have to say, I agree with you Camp, the Angels just filled that void that held them back from a WS for the past couple years.

Tex will add that burst of power that you guys desperately needed and with the way you have been playing this year I don't see any team that can take a series from you. Congrats.

we will see what happenes but I will say, if we keep pitching this way we weren't gonna lose ANYWAY... now with the pop we just got it looks real good... but again, we have to pull an 05 White Sox and keep pitching through october...

 

[Folsteam_Ahead]

it tickled me last night when i read the first post about loving kotchman, only to move onto espn which had the headline article about kotchman heading to the atl

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

After seeing Manny almost walk up the line toward first, I want him gone immediately.

 

[KAPLAN]

Go Yankees

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Go Yankees

Are they going to make any more moves?

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Go Sawx!

 

[onenybrother]

Go Mets !!!

 

[ACamp1900]

Are they going to make any more moves?

They made plenty

Pudge to the Yanks for Farnsworth.

To be honest, Molina was doin a pretty good job, why get rid of a bullpen arm that could help in a Pennant race??

for real?!

 

[ACamp1900]

If true get ready for proof of the east coast bias tonight... the sports media will slober ALL OVER this move when last night baseball tonights crew refused to say the words World Series while talking about the Angels move, they simply said "If they go where we think they might now"... but tonight b/c it's a move by the Yanks or Sox...

"ARE THE YANKEES THE FAV FOR THE WORLD SERIES NOW??? You'd better believe it!!!"

muck the least coast

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I would say that the Angels are still the favorite right now. The Yanks trade for Pudge doesn't make a whole lot of sense although I do think Farnsworth is a bum.

 

[Bubba]

Nothing real to contribute...just being a fan


Go Halos!

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I hope the Sox can at least salvage one win in this series.

 

[Bubba]

2 sweeps in a row over the bloody sox!

Currently 12-4 over the Yanks top of the Eighth. Man I'm lovin' this.

Even the Angels broadcasting team was talking about how bad the SOx fans are after game two... they were talking about how the Sox fans wouldn't stop talking after we swept them in LA and that they kept throwing things and stating, "Wait til you come to Fenway"... you could tell they were fed up with the fans too...

There are a lot of Sox fans here and all to my knowledge are very respectful but all are also east coasters too, to my knowledge... Red Sox nation west is a HORRIBLE/ cursing at kids type group of people

 

[KAPLAN]

If anyone does not say the Angels are the favorite to win the World Seried then they are Drunk. I do think the Yankees will beat out the Sux and the Rays.

Red Sox Nation "West" is probably just a bunch of posers rooting for a team that has come into much success in the past several years. I run into a lot of people who claim to be huge Sox fans but have no idea what a Red Sox lineup looked like prior to 2004. Just like any team that has a lot of success and is in the media spotlight they are going to get people who claim to be "fans".

With that said, I will give you props ACamp, the Sox just let one of the greatest hitters of this generation go, so if the Sox do find a way to claw their way into the postseason the Angels should probably have an easier route to the ALCS. However, I doubt my Sox will even make the postseason this year.

My prediction for the Playoff this year.
AL West - Angels
AL Central - White Sox
AL East - Yankees
Wild Card - Rays

Angels beat Cubs in WS 4-1.
