OC Register Disses the Angels' G.A.
Quite a night last night for Garret Anderson, who socked in a club record 10 ribbies for the Angels in their 18-9 thrubbing of the hapless Yankees, who they totally OWN (the Halos are the only MLB team with a winning record against the pinstriped peckerwoods during the Joe Torre era). Included in G.A.'s stats were two home runs, one of them a grand slam -- in his final at-bat, the man was a three-run homer short of breaking the all-time single-game RBI record. A big deal, for sure. So how did
August 22, 2007Yankees Star Johnny Damon Pimpin' it Up at OC Weekly Party!
Did you spend this past Saturday at Decadence, the Weekly's annual bacchanal of breasts, bros, and booze? Probably not, since the Westin South Coast Plaza Hotel security probably stopped you, you poor, poor nerd. I snuck in somehow, got in a verbal fight with a moron restaurant owner who shall remain nameless but whose food was available at Decadence and is slightly tastier than mildewed bath towels, and eventually retired to the Westin's bar, invaded by a bunch of New York Yankees fans still ri
August 11, 200814 Reasons Why the Angels Lost Game 1 of the ALDS
*The stupidest noisemakers ever, a thin piece of cardboard which fans were supposed to fold up like an accordion and slap them like a tambourine. Did some idiots complain about having to blow too hard to inflate the old ThunderStix, which worked so well in 2002? *Stupid little kids who sing the National Anthem. That's not patriotism, that's anarchy. *Joe Saunders and Jered Weaver (badly) lip-synching to a stupid Bon Jovi song on a video that played between innings. *Howie Kendrick grounding
October 2, 2008Why Are Angels Fans Such Pussies? And, In Defense of Dodgers Fans
Faithful reader Cesar's attacks on an Angels fan got me thinking: why are Halos fans generally such pussies? I know of many exceptions, of course (Weekly managing editor Rich Kane being one of them), but the general stereotype of Angels followers being plastic, effete, polite pussies is just too true. I've been attending games at Anaheim/Edison/Angels Stadium since forever, and I'm always shocked, shocked! that the Angels nation pride themselves on fostering a family atmosphere, that they don't

Outside Eyes, a Newport Beach-based crisis PR firm, is among the agencies that have been brought in to help Alex Rodriguez deal with the firestorm of controversy that has been generated by the New York Yankees slugger's admission to using performance-enhancing steroids. The firm knows crisis PR. Founder and CEO Reed Dickens was an assistant press secretary in the George W. Bush White House.

John Lackey (left) and Jon Lester get the starts to begin the Angels-Red Sox AL Division Series.We know the who (Angels vs. Red Sox), we know the what (best out of five American League Division Series), we know the where (game one at Angel Stadium) and we know the why (so that the winner can advance to the American League Championship Series).What we don't know is the when because New York, which boasts the league's best record, can't announce the playoff schedule they will choose until th
October 5, 20092009 Postseason Throwdown (Your Cash): Dodger Playoff Tix Cheaper Than Angels', Deals Abound
FanSnapFanSnap, a free search engine for online tickets to concerts, sporting competitions and other live events, has come up with a price comparison that shows it can be almost $20 less per ticket to see the Dodgers host the Cardinals in game 1 at Dodger Stadium than it is to see the Angels open their division series against the Red Sox at the Big A. "For both games, there is tremendous price variability," claims Palo Alto-based FanSnap, which claims: * Fans can find tickets be
October 7, 20092009 Postseason Throwdown: Angel Skipper Has Answer for Heartbreaking '86 Loss to Red Sox
Mike Scioscia fires back. Before the first pitch is even thrown in the first game of the American League Division Series pitting Your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim against the Boston Red Sox (game time is 6:37 p.m. Thursday at the Big A), manager Mike Scioscia has been asked incessantly about the same painful subject: His Halos' string of playoff losses to the bruisers from Beantown. Strangely, he is not asked so much about the Angels' mastery of the Sox during the
October 7, 20092009 Postseason Throwdown: 26 Reasons to Hate Boston, Bostonians and Other Massholes
Those rubes in Boston probably find this pretty.UPDATED WITH CORRECTIONS . . . Before Angel fans can truly hate the Boston Red Sox--actually, if 1986 playoffs didn't do it, nothing will--they must first hate the team's fans, the residents of the town surrounding Fenway Park and the town itself. (Along those lines, a Halos cap tip to Village Voice Media Vice President of Blog Stirring Bill Jensen for this apt name for annoying Bostonians: Massholes.

Heck, if he isn't at the ballpark yet, you might even catch him wiping the crumbs off his chin from the California turkey sandwich he devoured at Hector's Subs in Long B
October 9, 20092009 Postseason Throwdown: 13 Reasons the Angels Feel Confident Facing the Yankees in ALCS
New York still has fresh memories of winning three of four from the Angels in September, and having home-field advantage for the best-of-seven American League Championship Series as well as A-Rod suddenly finding his postseason bat are huge. But the Yankees live up to their team name when playing the Angels, who should be renamed the Yankers. For no one applies the ultimate titty twister to New York like Anaheim. The Bronx Bombers' captain, Derek Jeter, certainly appreciates Angel

Forget about the economy, the Know Nothings, the garbage-dwelling Linda Ackerman campaign and refry this: in an ESPN SportsNation poll that I can't find online but was just broadcast on ESPN News, your Anaheim Angels beat out the other three remaining teams in the MLB playoffs as the squad fans most want to see in the World Series. It was a pretty healthy victory, too, with the Ange
October 13, 20092009 Postseason Throwdown: Angels Owner Clings Tightly to $$$; Yankees Boast Big A Hex Broken; Long Beach Kid Redeems Himself
Angels owner Arte Moreno don't need no stinkin' ticket price cuts. Major League Baseball franchises have taken a hammering in attendance this season (thank you, shitty U.S. economy!), so all the teams that are playoff-bound or possibly so are resisting the common end-of-season ticket-price gouging. That is, all teams are except one. Ladies and gentlemen, your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim! Reports Forbes: Clubs poised for post-season play have learned a lesson from the e
September 24, 20092009 Postseason Throwdown: Yanks Generate Playoff Fever at Big A
If the Angels and Yankees wind up facing one another somewhere on the way to the next World Series, it'll be tough to beat the playoff atmosphere that was already evident at the Big A last night.Yes, those bastards in pinstripes eked out the 6-5 win (after blowing a 5-0 lead--HAH!), and they clinched their 14th trip to the playoffs in the past 15 seasons. But, according to our highly placed source who was sitting in the Angel Stadium stands, fans who have been painted by the East Coast-domina
September 23, 2009Get Your Tickets for Angels' 2009 Postseason Throwdown
The public's first crack at Angels playoff tickets begins at 10 a.m. Wednesday, but don't bother showing up at the box office at the Big A. They are only available online at the Angels Web site or by calling Ticketmaster at (714) 663-9000. There's a limit of four tickets per household. Since the Angels will have home field advantage in the series (most likely against Boston), as many as three games could be played at Angel Stadium.Those lucky enough to have had MLB.com's Angels Insider subscr
September 22, 2009Say Hey, Vladdy: Retire
Guerrero: Now, sadly mortal...The most painful part of tonight's 4-3*, 13-inning loss your Angels suffered at the steroid-enhanced hands of the New York Yankees? Not the errors. Not Brian Fuentes blowing his save opportunity. Not the prospect of the Halos having to come back from a 2-0 deficit if they want to hold up their part of the Freeway Series. No, the moments that made me wince the most were those involving Vladimir Guerrero.Oh, Vladdy: you're done. Your flailing at various Yankees pit
October 17, 20092009 Postseason Throwndown: Who Are Bigger Assholes, New Yorkers or Philadelphians?
A-Rod or A-Hole?Since it's now obvious there will be no freeway series (hey, Angels and Dodgers, here's an idea: bring your bats next time), the time has come to move beyond the brutal losses suffered by our soon-to-be-exiting home teams and concentrate on the really important stuff. Like, which city is filled with more assholes, Philadelphia or New York? Hey, it's an important consideration to remember while you avoid the pain that will come from watching the Phillies and Yan
October 21, 20092009 Postseason Throwdown: 5 Drugs the Ump Could've Been On Before Making the Worst Call of All Time
McClelland. McDipShit.In the top of the fifth inning of the Angels' 10-1 loss to the Yankees last night, umpire Tim McClelland made what Yahoo! Big League Stew blogger Duk has labeled "the worst call of all time." "Yes, you read that right," Duk declares. "The worst call of all time. Not just this postseason. Not this entire season. Not this decade. Not this century. I challenge you to think of one that was worse." Watch the total injustice here.
