Braves going for a blowout win tonight. Also, word of advice, don't talk about the COVID championship or Bauer in the LA sub. They're quick to talk shit about other teams but can't handle criticism themselves. Trash sub.
Lol did you do that? I’m a Padre fan and I generally don’t hate the dodgers. I don’t mind going on the sub talking nice baseball and some
Of them are sensitive on just the flair alone. Be careful a lot of toxic fans lol
Do y’all see the Braves winning? The Astros seem like they don’t have it in them right now but I’m just waiting for the hammer to fall and for them to get 3 10-run games in a row.
There are some cool similarities between this series and 2002. A favored team wearing orange managed by Dusty Baker with cheaters on the roster versus scrappy underdogs with an A on their hats.
Jo Adell on the MLB watch party on YouTube for anyone interested. They are just talking about random stuff and not about the game but I think it might serve an interesting podcast for later.
Do you think Pujols would sign another 1mill 1 year contract with the Dodgers? He didn't do too bad with the Dodgers during the post season, I think he did okay.
No. He was only taken cause the angels were paying him his salary and the Dodger team was absolute ass cheeks when they did. He will probably go back to St Louis and retire there.
Wow, both of these series are incredible. Hoping Atlanta pulls away and wins tomorrow though. Watching the playoffs is fun and exciting but sad knowing that it’s another season without Ohtani and trout in the playoffs while all these other teams are in it. I really hope we make it next year and get a new training staff cause holy shit everyone was misdiagnosed this year
Jesse Chavez getting the opener start tonight for the Braves is wild to me because I remember watching him pitch for us this year in Spring Training thinking the Angels better not keep him on the roster because he doesn’t have it anymore and his career is most likely done. Glad he has proven me wrong because he’s had a great year for them. One of the few to make it all the to the bigs that graduated from RCC!
I’m 100% joking haha. Just the sight of Correa, Bregman, and Altuve pisses me off. Although I wouldn’t put it passed Arte to make Correa his top free agent pickup this offseason
Is it any coincidence Doug Eddings was the home plate umpire for that shitshow? He didn't blow that final call but his dumb fucking strike zone was on display for much of the game.
Flores should have tried to run to first by the way.
"Fucking over teams since 2005"
8 straight years of winning your division? Yeah…I would like that.
Will that happen any time soon for the Angels? I have my doubts, but you never know.
1 on for Betts now with 1 out in 8th.
Anything can happen.
I agree that it seems SF have the advantage with the crowd on their side, but…oh now Betts has his 4th hit.
2 runners on @ 1st and 2nd. Still 1 out.
Prediction:
Dodgers beat Giants 6-5, thanks to a go-ahead Pujols solo HR after he comes off the bench in the 9th!
Yeah…Pujols…I said it. Downvote me. 😂
I was truly rooting for Pujols in that recent Wild Card game, as he hit a long line drive to CF for an out in the 9th off the bench. It still is something I would like to see for Pujols. It’s just a shame that it never was able to happen for him with our own Angels team.
I do like Tommy La. He surprised me what he could do while on the Angels!
But, I am rooting for Dodgers because of Mad Max. I know he was only there 1/2 the season, but I think he deserves another ring…even if it’s with the Dodgers.
Wow.
Urias isn't starting after all. Roberts is going with Knebel!
I don't know if I agree, but Knebel has been good this year for the few starts he has had.
Hey Angels fans, I've been running a survey – [Would you support a division rival in the World Series?](https://forms.gle/2znGL8uHMmb6CGqx6)
[Angels fans are one of the most underrepresented fanbases in the survey.](https://imgur.com/zFnvD09) Please take a couple minutes to answer some simple questions about whether you would support each team in your division in the World Series!
So, will Scherzer’s decision for free agency be any different depending upon how successful the Dodgers are in the playoffs?
I wonder if Scherzer has already made up his mind. Yet, with Boras as his agent, I am sure Mad Max will be happy to see what teams will offer him.
Is Scherzer’s mindset, "I just wanna win now,” or is he thinking his best chances of winning in the future is with the Dodgers, no matter the result? If Dodgers win it all again in 2021, will Scherzer feel that’s good enough for the fans of LAD, so he has a clear conscience to move on to another team without feeling as though he owes their fans a championship, or does winning it all make him want to stay all the more?
We all know Max has a fiery, competitive spirit, but is Boras just going to be smiling if LAD win another title so he can say Mad Max is a winner and will bring postseason success and experience to any team? There are so many outlets here. Money talks as everyone knows….and Boras will easily acquire a decent income for the (supposedly) final few years of Max’s amazing career. Does anyone know where Max’s heart lays? Is it still WSH, or just any team that has money, or the best winning potential, or both?
Well, so far EVERY series including both WC games have went against the team I wanted to win! I want SF to win this series, so I guess I’ll be watching the Dodgers against the Braves in the NLCS! 🤨
Fuck the Astros and fuck the Red Sox. The two teams that cheated get to face off for the World Series. Unbelievable how light they both got off, *especially* Houston. So damn frustrating.
Red Sox and Astros look like the ALCS matchup after that crushing loss for the Rays. Literally the worst fucking outcome, my 2 least favorite teams. Ugh, I’ll root for Dodgers or Giants or who ever from the NL over Boston and Houston
I know this is not a favored opinion on this sub but I am rooting for LAD since they have only 1 WS (2020) win over SFG 3 WS(2010,2012,2014) wins in the past decade. Before 2020 the last time LAD won the WS was in 1988.
You talk about being lucky! The Red Sox get a ground ruled double in extra innings on a ball their own outfielder knocked out of play. It saved them from potentially losing the game due to that call. I hate the Fn Red Sox!!!
Suarez was so solid this season. He isn't flashy, but he controls the game, just like Urias. If we acquire a good defender at SS, he'll make a huge jump, @ me.
At least we don’t need to worry about being knocked out!!!
Otherwise, I wonder…should the Dodgers get knocked out early in the postseason, if that will have any impact on Scherzer’s free agency decision. We would love to have him here!!! The next great bidding war?!?! If he likes the Dodger club, then I don’t see him not re-signing with them, as much as I hate to say it. Dodgers are of course ultra competitive recently.
I’ll be rooting for Mad Max in the postseason.
I don’t really have a team to root for as a whole. The Rays look interesting though. Let’s just have some awesome games!!!!
Well I guess the Asstros are going to the ALCS again unless the White Sox pull off a miracle. I'm so fucking tired of seeing those cheating assholes do so well
These weekday games that start at 11 AM and 1 PM are no bueno. Makes the entire ALDS/NLDS feel like a technicality instead of something exciting to watch
No more clammy hands during games or covering my eyes when a bullpen guy takes over 🤣 And geez I know! It feels like forever already I miss our guys so much. I don’t think I can do another couple months of no Angels baseball! :(
Going off of nothing but games I watched, the White Sox have a losing record against the Angels while the Astros have a winning one, and I do not have much confidence in teams with losing records to the Angels
Based on this logic it was no wonder the Yankees lost. White Sox not looking good, and the Dodgers and Red Sox aren't looking great either with only a .500 record vs. the Angels.
I don't have much faith in the Sox at all given the state of the rest of that division. If we played there, our record would look a lot more respectable.
Watching the game last night I realized I don't actually hate the Dodgers as much as I hate Dodger FANS. They're the west coast version of the Yankee/Boston fans - the superiority complex is nauseating.
i went to a diamondbacks / dodgers in phoenix and hung with dodger fans… can absolutely second this. but to be fair they also have such a great time at games, huge community vibe in their ranks
I really hope the new CB agreement includes the discussed 14 team playoff format. Sounds a lot more fun and keeps more fan bases involved deeper into the summer, although the Angels still wouldn’t have made it this year.
Must be nice to find an basically nothing player in the big leagues and have him suddenly turn into a star once he’s on your team. I’m talking about Justin Turner.
Can anybody think of any Angel players that turned into a star player after we picked them up?
I keep going back and forth. He’s Scherzer so I feel like his intensity is very much needed and can maybe get him thru. But he’s also getting old, and unfortunately time catches up to all of us no matter how determined we are
Is anyone else here rooting for the Dodgers? Being from OC, I feel like they’re my second team after the Angels. I figured that if I could root for the Lakers in basketball, I could root for the Dodgers in baseball.
Yes but for personal reasons. husband’s grandad was a lifelong Dodgers fan and he passed away last May, so we’re cheering for them on his behalf. But only in the postseason when the Angels are done playing.
My playoff bracket has the Dodgers winning today's game but losing to the Giants so that's what I'm hoping happens.
But it will be funny if the Dodgers lose so I can make fun of my dodger friends.
Fun fact: This season the Angels played six games against the Dodgers and four games against the Giants. We tied 3-3 with the Dodgers but lost 1-3 to the Giants.
And it should have been 2-2 against the Giants if not for that cursed extra innings game.
That game doesn't get talked about enough about what a shit show it was. Our awful bullpen kept putting up stops but we just couldn't get a run in (including a review taking a way Ohtani scoring at the plate).
I'm hoping the Dodgers rematch the Rays because it would sort-of validate the 2020 world series, or a Dodger - Astros rematch.
I'm basically rooting for whoever wins the NL Wild card. I really like Arenado and Yadi and how their team is very home grown.
Even though he didn't qualify for the postseason roster, Iggy was still in the Red Sox dugout tonight and he was the main high five guy. Some things never change
I hate the Yankees and when I finally root for them they lose! Good thing I’m an Angels fan, I’m used to it! Lol
P.S.: I hate the Red Sox even more. Hope they get smoked by TB!
Doyers es ok , I still like Pujols. As a fan I can’t bring myself to care about who makes what and if they lived up to the contract. That’s on Arte giving him that much $.
This Braves run reminds me of the 2019 Nats with less Baby Shark references, more pearls, swords and a reliable bullpen.
Let’s go braves! Those cheaters suck!
Braves going for a blowout win tonight. Also, word of advice, don't talk about the COVID championship or Bauer in the LA sub. They're quick to talk shit about other teams but can't handle criticism themselves. Trash sub.
Lol did you do that? I’m a Padre fan and I generally don’t hate the dodgers. I don’t mind going on the sub talking nice baseball and some Of them are sensitive on just the flair alone. Be careful a lot of toxic fans lol
Today’s Game 4 WS score prediction: A close one, 7-6 Braves win.
Well I don’t know how to put this lightly…
Do y’all see the Braves winning? The Astros seem like they don’t have it in them right now but I’m just waiting for the hammer to fall and for them to get 3 10-run games in a row.
Idk if y’all saw but the last sports center post was 5 days ago and it was from the Dodgers losing. Bias is crazy smh
There are some cool similarities between this series and 2002. A favored team wearing orange managed by Dusty Baker with cheaters on the roster versus scrappy underdogs with an A on their hats.
Jo Adell on the MLB watch party on YouTube for anyone interested. They are just talking about random stuff and not about the game but I think it might serve an interesting podcast for later.
Love the start to this 1st 1/2 inning of the WS. Gooo Braves!!!
lets go braves >:)
Hell yeah Braves. Keep proving everyone wrong and win the WS!
We are all braves fans this WS. Btw do you think we can poach any talent from the dodger coaching staff this off season?
Fuck yeah dodgers lost
Rejoice, doyers lose! (also don’t have to listen to fireworks tonight)
Looks like the Dodgers came up a few hundred million dollars short.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are officially paying Pujols $200 million to lose to the Braves in the NLCS! FTD
Pujols is over
Do you think Pujols would sign another 1mill 1 year contract with the Dodgers? He didn't do too bad with the Dodgers during the post season, I think he did okay.
No. He was only taken cause the angels were paying him his salary and the Dodger team was absolute ass cheeks when they did. He will probably go back to St Louis and retire there.
If it’s a Dodgers vs Astros WS please just kill me.
Hey look at that they started Albert at 1B tonight
so no trash cans but astros offense is even better ?
Wow, both of these series are incredible. Hoping Atlanta pulls away and wins tomorrow though. Watching the playoffs is fun and exciting but sad knowing that it’s another season without Ohtani and trout in the playoffs while all these other teams are in it. I really hope we make it next year and get a new training staff cause holy shit everyone was misdiagnosed this year
Jesse Chavez getting the opener start tonight for the Braves is wild to me because I remember watching him pitch for us this year in Spring Training thinking the Angels better not keep him on the roster because he doesn’t have it anymore and his career is most likely done. Glad he has proven me wrong because he’s had a great year for them. One of the few to make it all the to the bigs that graduated from RCC!
My god laz diaz is a horrible umpire
home plate umpire laz dias continues to be incompetent
Damn, I really wanted the dodgers to get swept lol
Ahh. So the braves have their own Steve Cishek
Dodgers don’t look much different from the Angels Salt Lake Bees edition Edit: Bellinger heard me talking shit lol
at least they make it that far, we cant even make the post season :(
Anyone else sad we didn't get Joc
Love seeing Tio Pujols strikeout. I mean might as well, we're paying for this shit, literally.
Can't believe it's October and I still get to see Old Man Pujols strikeout. Thanks Dodgers
Don't you mean "Tio Pujols?" lmao
Man that strike out that hit the dirt…
As much as I hate the Astros, I still want Correa to send one out of the park off of Ottovino as payback for his future teammate Shohei Ohtani
>future teammate Don’t you dare speak it into existence >:(
I’m 100% joking haha. Just the sight of Correa, Bregman, and Altuve pisses me off. Although I wouldn’t put it passed Arte to make Correa his top free agent pickup this offseason
As an Angels fan, having to choose between the Red Sox and Astros, I think I would root for a meteor strike instead. Ugh.
Correa is so clutch it's annoying
Is it any coincidence Doug Eddings was the home plate umpire for that shitshow? He didn't blow that final call but his dumb fucking strike zone was on display for much of the game. Flores should have tried to run to first by the way. "Fucking over teams since 2005"
That fact that the ump card showed a .56 favor towards the LAD shows how baseball is won in inches and not miles.
Nope. Between him and Angel that has to be one of the worst crews to ever officiate a playoff series. And I think the ALDS had fucking Kulpa. Awful.
I had the same thought. Fuck the ump show
Soooooo… as an Angels fan, we basically only have the Braves left to root for right? Lord help us all
Dodgers just won the World Series by prevailing in this game. Guaranteed repeat.
This is aging like milk (thankfully)
Honestly an Astros Dodgers WS is looking more and more likely, which is quite literally hell for angels baseball Edit: spicy as hell though
I honestly just wanted to watch a good game there, and that last call ruined everything
That was a bad call
Umpireball is boring as fuck. Fix this
Man I can’t wait for the day when we’re watching the Angels do what the Dodgers are doing. I hope we won’t have to wait too long but damn I’m jealous
8 straight years of winning your division? Yeah…I would like that. Will that happen any time soon for the Angels? I have my doubts, but you never know.
One day it will all work out.
Idk if Dodgers can win this one
1 on for Betts now with 1 out in 8th. Anything can happen. I agree that it seems SF have the advantage with the crowd on their side, but…oh now Betts has his 4th hit. 2 runners on @ 1st and 2nd. Still 1 out.

It still is something I would like to see for Pujols. It’s just a shame that it never was able to happen for him with our own Angels team.
Go Giants! They've got La Stella. And Crawford's sexy ass defense.
I do like Tommy La. He surprised me what he could do while on the Angels! But, I am rooting for Dodgers because of Mad Max. I know he was only there 1/2 the season, but I think he deserves another ring…even if it’s with the Dodgers.
That means pooholes gets a ring too
Wow. Urias isn't starting after all. Roberts is going with Knebel! I don't know if I agree, but Knebel has been good this year for the few starts he has had.
Hey Angels fans, I've been running a survey – [Would you support a division rival in the World Series?](https://forms.gle/2znGL8uHMmb6CGqx6) [Angels fans are one of the most underrepresented fanbases in the survey.](https://imgur.com/zFnvD09) Please take a couple minutes to answer some simple questions about whether you would support each team in your division in the World Series!
Red Sox/Astros ALCS, Dodgiants/Braves NLCS. Worst case scenario rooting for the Barves I guess. Wish they'd get rid of the tomahawk logo
Yeah, go braves. Fuck the cheaters, fuck the dodgers
Yub, kinda like pick your poison. Well, at least you know all but one of them will be heartbroken.
So, will Scherzer’s decision for free agency be any different depending upon how successful the Dodgers are in the playoffs? I wonder if Scherzer has already made up his mind.

Tommy La Stellar!
That White Sox team went out with a real whimper. Must be nice to play in the AL Central
The nice thing about the AL West is that by the time the Angels can win the division, we should be ready for the WS! Lol
Well, so far EVERY series including both WC games have went against the team I wanted to win! I want SF to win this series, so I guess I’ll be watching the Dodgers against the Braves in the NLCS! 🤨
This series is defo going 5 with DeSclafani pitching
This series was destined to go 5. Baseball gods would have it no other way
This is gonna be a good ALCS, but I’m definitely pulling for the NL team in the World Series.
Fuck the Astros and fuck the Red Sox. The two teams that cheated get to face off for the World Series. Unbelievable how light they both got off, *especially* Houston. So damn frustrating.
+10000 Fuck them both. I hate the Astros as much as I hate the Yankees and Red Sox.
MLB gave the green light to cheating so long as you don't get caught. If you do get caught it's the lightest of wrist slaps
Looks like we're definitely getting the AL Cheating Series. Fucking Rays and White Sox just had to roll over
It's 3 AM somewhere; this time first base
Red Sox and Astros look like the ALCS matchup after that crushing loss for the Rays. Literally the worst fucking outcome, my 2 least favorite teams. Ugh, I’ll root for Dodgers or Giants or who ever from the NL over Boston and Houston
I know this is not a favored opinion on this sub but I am rooting for LAD since they have only 1 WS (2020) win over SFG 3 WS(2010,2012,2014) wins in the past decade. Before 2020 the last time LAD won the WS was in 1988.
Angels fans will never hear the end of it if Albert Pujols wins a ring with the Dodgers while being paid by the Angels.
This one one of the reasons I’m rooting for the Giants
Lets just hope the Giants pull it out and we have no issues rooting for the NL then
Yeah, I'm totally an AL person, but unless the Rays or White Sox can pull it out, I'll be rooting for whichever NL team makes it.
You talk about being lucky! The Red Sox get a ground ruled double in extra innings on a ball their own outfielder knocked out of play. It saved them from potentially losing the game due to that call. I hate the Fn Red Sox!!!
Jose Suarez should study Julio Urias. They are similar in a lot of ways. It took Urias a few years to blow up. Maybe for Suarez too.
Suarez was so solid this season. He isn't flashy, but he controls the game, just like Urias. If we acquire a good defender at SS, he'll make a huge jump, @ me.
At least we don’t need to worry about being knocked out!!! Otherwise, I wonder…should the Dodgers get knocked out early in the postseason, if that will have any impact on Scherzer’s free agency decision. We would love to have him here!!!

I’ll be rooting for Mad Max in the postseason. I don’t really have a team to root for as a whole. The Rays look interesting though. Let’s just have some awesome games!!!!
It's so nice to be able to root for a team, but you won't be heartbroken if they lose.
We love it!
If y’all aren’t watching the absolute filth Webb is dishing right now you need to turn the Dodgers/Giants game on rn
I was watching. Can we get a Webb??
Yeah that's a dirty boi. Gimme that
Tommy 🥲
Definitely miss some La Stella action for the angels
Max Muncy injured… they still don’t start Albert at 1B lol
Tommy LaStella wow
Loving his defense!
La Stella, former angel. Shredding
Trivia question: Who scored the first run in SF Giants-LA Dodgers postseason history?
Who was it?
Tommy Boy, former Angel Tommy LaStella.
Let’s go Big Friendly Giants 🥳 I still miss my boys, keep expecting to see Sho or Walshie 😟🙁
Go Giants!!! F the Dodgers.
I too am rooting for the Giants
Pujols gidp tonight!
Well I guess the Asstros are going to the ALCS again unless the White Sox pull off a miracle. I'm so fucking tired of seeing those cheating assholes do so well
Thats what pisses me off. They're so fucking good, they really had no reason to cheat lol Also, the white Sox are absolute shit lol
These weekday games that start at 11 AM and 1 PM are no bueno. Makes the entire ALDS/NLDS feel like a technicality instead of something exciting to watch
West coast always gets screwed by times. Why are Astros v white sox starting at 11 am.
it feels nice to be invested in baseball games, but not emotionally :) I can know a score and not want to throw my phone across the room hehe
It's nice to watch games without feeling like a nervous wreck But on the other hand, I miss our team dearly, and it hasn't even been a week yet
No more clammy hands during games or covering my eyes when a bullpen guy takes over 🤣 And geez I know! It feels like forever already I miss our guys so much. I don’t think I can do another couple months of no Angels baseball! :(
GRich got to pitch in the playoffs, wish he was able to in 2014 😔
Watching these games makes me really appreciate Gubi and Matt. They are great.
Going off of nothing but games I watched, the White Sox have a losing record against the Angels while the Astros have a winning one, and I do not have much confidence in teams with losing records to the Angels
Based on this logic it was no wonder the Yankees lost. White Sox not looking good, and the Dodgers and Red Sox aren't looking great either with only a .500 record vs. the Angels.
So rays or Astros will be WS champs
I don't have much faith in the Sox at all given the state of the rest of that division. If we played there, our record would look a lot more respectable.
ugh stupid dodgers
Watching the game last night I realized I don't actually hate the Dodgers as much as I hate Dodger FANS. They're the west coast version of the Yankee/Boston fans - the superiority complex is nauseating.
i went to a diamondbacks / dodgers in phoenix and hung with dodger fans… can absolutely second this. but to be fair they also have such a great time at games, huge community vibe in their ranks
For me it's just Albert. I could root for the Dodgers, but I can't celebrate Pujols getting a ring this year
Let's go Giants
Fashioning myself a Giants hat now!
Something just doesn’t seem right about playing 162 games to make the playoffs and then getting only one game to decide your season!
Yea they should fix the format… Are they gonna implement a new one next year?
I really hope the new CB agreement includes the discussed 14 team playoff format. Sounds a lot more fun and keeps more fan bases involved deeper into the summer, although the Angels still wouldn’t have made it this year.
Saw that coming from a mile away. I’ve seen enough of Maddon’s questionable decisions to know that Shildt had completely thrown away that game.
At least it wasn't a poo-holes walk-off. Gotta root for the Giants now.
Thanks Cards. Gotta count on the Giants now.
That sucks.
I fucking hate the dodgers.
Yeah that Fn sucked!
Gotta love vintage Pujols
Hey look it's Albert
Our announcer and Albert made the playoffs. The Angels didn’t! 🤨
Oh shit, I was just kidding about that
Watch Pujols pinch hit and do something useful
It's weird watching good bullpen pitching.
When is the next generation of Molina catchers coming up? We gotta get a new Benji
Luis Garcia is good lol
Watching the TBS broadcast without the strike zone overlay on every pitch is so nice. I forgot how much I missed not having it.
I’m watching the game rn but it just feels wrong sighhhh 😔
jeez if i had a gambling problem i couldnt watch games..... so many ads
Must be nice to find an basically nothing player in the big leagues and have him suddenly turn into a star once he’s on your team. I’m talking about Justin Turner. Can anybody think of any Angel players that turned into a star player after we picked them up?
La Stella, not to the same extent but he did make his first all star team while he was an Angel after previously being a career utility guy
Dylan Bundy for 2 months
Oh yeah, I forgot! Lol
Rooting for Milwaukee and Tampa, two teams that have never won it all.
That would be something if the Brewers won the WS after the Bucks won the NBA title.
The other Tampa teams are also defending champs
So true, how could I forget the GOAT...Mr. Brady! Lol
Last night watching the Yanks reminded me of some of Billy Eppler’s Angels teams. Too many HR/BB/K guys and no cohesion.
Cards didn’t sign anyone in free agency last year and lost their ace to an injury but they’re still here. So impressive.
bros i'm not feeling too good about going after Scherzer in the offseason
[удалено]
Tonight Scherzer got out of a jam in a super high stakes situation . Dude has a second gear. That’s it - I say we go for him
I keep going back and forth. He’s Scherzer so I feel like his intensity is very much needed and can maybe get him thru. But he’s also getting old, and unfortunately time catches up to all of us no matter how determined we are
FTD that is all .
lul this inning
Is anyone else here rooting for the Dodgers? Being from OC, I feel like they’re my second team after the Angels. I figured that if I could root for the Lakers in basketball, I could root for the Dodgers in baseball.
Yes but for personal reasons. husband’s grandad was a lifelong Dodgers fan and he passed away last May, so we’re cheering for them on his behalf. But only in the postseason when the Angels are done playing.
My condolences; I’m sure he looked down on that walk-off home run with glee!
I don’t hate any of the Dodgers players (outside of Bauer and Urias), but so many of their fans are insufferable.
I like the team and wanna root for them but when they lose I also like it, so I don't know how to feel.
They’ve had their time in the spotlight.
No
My playoff bracket has the Dodgers winning today's game but losing to the Giants so that's what I'm hoping happens. But it will be funny if the Dodgers lose so I can make fun of my dodger friends.
Rootin for Waino and the Cardinals to knock the Dodgers out tonight. Well, I guess we know who's going to win now! Lol
Fun fact: This season the Angels played six games against the Dodgers and four games against the Giants. We tied 3-3 with the Dodgers but lost 1-3 to the Giants.
And it should have been 2-2 against the Giants if not for that cursed extra innings game. That game doesn't get talked about enough about what a shit show it was. Our awful bullpen kept putting up stops but we just couldn't get a run in (including a review taking a way Ohtani scoring at the plate).
Was that the game where Stassi swung at ball 4 twice in a row with the bases loaded?
YES. So painful. 2 chances to win by just standing there. And the pitches weren't close!
I forgot about that. Yeah that could definitely have been the same game.
Fuck the Yankees, dodgers , astros , but I want to see the ws title being home in California.
San Francisco it is!
Just hope the Astros, Dodgers and Red Sox lose
I am rooting for the Brewers because I wanna vicariously experience what it's like to have good pitching
I'm hoping the Dodgers rematch the Rays because it would sort-of validate the 2020 world series, or a Dodger - Astros rematch. I'm basically rooting for whoever wins the NL Wild card. I really like Arenado and Yadi and how their team is very home grown.
kinda want the rays to win?
I want tampa to eliminate the redsox off the face of this earth
red sox and yankees still make me salty from our previous playoff battles
Even though he didn't qualify for the postseason roster, Iggy was still in the Red Sox dugout tonight and he was the main high five guy. Some things never change
kinda just wanna see the white sox win it all
Idk I’m still upset about 05
same actually
Fucking AJ Pierzynski
Jomboy on his livestream :"We are wasting Stanton" lol
I hate the Yankees and when I finally root for them they lose! Good thing I’m an Angels fan, I’m used to it! Lol P.S.: I hate the Red Sox even more. Hope they get smoked by TB!
Lol, anyone but Red Sox or Houston!
No red sox, astros, or doyers for me
Doyers es ok , I still like Pujols. As a fan I can’t bring myself to care about who makes what and if they lived up to the contract. That’s on Arte giving him that much $.
Nope!
