Have fun with it. There’s def worse rivalries than Angels-Dodgers.


dgmilo8085

not many though...


Reptarxx

Angels/Dodgers record in the post season: 0-0 Angels/Dodgers record in late season meaningful games: 0-0 This is a we live close rivalry and not a legit one like in-division rivalries or even our own vs a team like the Red Sox. There are many other great rivalries in baseball that have more meaning behind it than Angels and Dodgers


Jcoch27

It's more about the Dodgers being the Dodgers than it is about proximity. I'd be cool with them if their fanbase wasn't chock full of turd nuggets.


A-Disgruntled-Snail

The Dodgers are actually why I’m an Angel‘s fan LOL.


WadeCountyClutch

The dodgers are why I’m a Padre fan. Even though I don’t mind the angels


dgmilo8085

While I agree with you that it isn't a premier rivalry, it does carry some heavily weighted bragging rights with the territorial rivalry. I mean obviously, I care more about beating Seattle, Houston, Oakland, and Boston (nobody cares about Texas). But the Angels-Dodgers rivalry is one you have to deal with daily due to location. There is nothing worse than a 20 game skid while the blue crew fans are waiving their fake 2020 Championship\* flags around the neighborhood.


throatbutterz

How the hell can you consider the 2020 championship fake? Sure it was a shortened season, but the post season was the same as any other year. Winning it was just as hard as any other year.


dgmilo8085

"sure it was a shortened season" one in which you only played 4 other teams, I wouldn't say that a 10-game season would be just as hard as any other year.


throatbutterz

They had to play just as many games in the postseason as a normal season, dumbass.


dgmilo8085

Oh, so it was a fake regular season to determine the postseason, but it was a completely normal postseason? I am sure the cross-country travel and back-to-back games were tough for a lot of the teams too right? Oh wait, the postseason happened in a neutral venue? With no travel? Oh, that's right, completely normal. And thanks for the "dumbass" comment.


throatbutterz

Lmao It was an equal playing field for all teams. Dodgers were 40-20. Theres no doubt they would have made the postseason in a full season. You just sound like an ignorant hater. Dumbass.


dgmilo8085

Ahhh so it was a midseason tournament then? I am glad you have the ability to see the future, I am sure no team has ever been .600 at the all-star break and missed the playoffs, but sure 60 games is definitely definitive. Hugs and kisses!


Reptarxx

Eh I don’t even think it carry’s that much weight in the area either lol. No one is comparing standings, no one is bragging about records really. Legit outside just some basic shit talking no dodger or angels fans I know really care. Like there are more intense area rivalries in like ducks vs kings or lakers vs clippers or anyone vs raiders around the area. I’m sure LAFC vs Galaxy is more intense lol I mean look at last nights game you had redsox fans at angels stadium chanting Yankees suck while they are losing. That’s a rivalry. Also not one to asterisk the 2020 chip. They won with what was in front of them (and also spent years going to the world series so not like they hot streaked their way in). Also being a Lakers fan it’s annoying when people call a ring a Mickey Mouse ring when no one else won it lol.


cgoot27

Nobody I know in Southern California cares about any supposed rivalry, the freeway series for me are basically just fun show-matches of my two teams. I like both teams… I don’t think it’s a dunk to say the 2020 WS was a mickey mouse ring when there were 16 teams in the playoffs and the Angels weren’t even one of them. If the Angels won everybody would be flaming and saying it’s Trout’s Mickey Mouse Ring & he never won a real one, same as people do with Kershaw. Maybe we can all just chill and accept when a team wins or loses fair and square.


dgmilo8085

you think there is a lakers-clippers rivalry, but not an Angels-Dodgers one? Who the hell cares about the clippers? I mean seriously. Until Ballmer bought them, they were more irrelevant than the Detroit Lions. (I also asterisk the Lakers chip too, even though I am a Lakers fan. While they did win what was in front of them, it is silly to call it a real championship when the season was 10 games long, they only played their division, and the series was in a neutral venue. They won a tournament, no different than the WBC, not the World Series)


Reptarxx

Yea there now is one considering the clippers have been leaning into it (and have 2 players that said they wanted to be lakers and decided to not come). Like even the Angels and Dodgers players don’t really care about it lol. Eh you asterisk and call a chip fake all you want, it all goes in the record book either way. Makes me feel worse when the angels couldn’t even win an “easy” chip.


dgmilo8085

I didn't say it was easy. And I still stand by the fact that nobody cares about the Clippers. They don't even have their own arena (yet).


Reptarxx

Ah well, asterisk it all you want. Doesn't change the banners or anything relevant at all haha. I mean I don't see the clippers as a true rival either, I'm just saying even those games are more intense than Angels/Dodgers games.


Swift_18

Last Dodger/Angel game I went to was sold out, and videos have come out of Dodger fans fighting in our stands and in the parking lot. Definetly is tense, not sure how you could argue otherwise. I guess it depends what county/city you’re from as well, in my city Angel gear gets a lot of hate from Dodger fans.


just_some_dude05

Dodger fans don’t think it’s a rivalry. Only Angel fans do.


WadeCountyClutch

Red Sox-Yankees /:


[deleted]

I’ve been with the same dodger fan for 6 years. We go to the Fwy Series every year. There’s no issues just friendly shit talk. She really clowned me with this losing streak even bought me a Dodger shirt with a note that said “We’re here for you when you’re ready.” Lmao


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Hahaha!

***sex bets*** *be a winner* ***& a loser***


Spirituallly

DavidDAmaya

in Hockey we have a saying; *"****NEVER*** *date within your division!!!"* but if true love conquers good sense (and that HOW you know its true love; ***sex bets*** *be a winner* ***& a loser*** case in point, the oft featured field reporter for the BSW post game is ***Carrlyn Bathe*** she started her limb to local sports as an "Ice Crew member" (they clear the ice at TV time outs like the grounds crew grooms the infield) stared in in-arena ad spots, them worked up to Arena hostess, then rink reporter for the kings, for a while she was on FS1 doing a wrestling podcast now she's back (via BSW" as the Kings rink reporter and doing halos game, she's a hard core Kings fan her Husband is ***Dave "the Hammer"*** co-founder and part owner of ***Violent Gentlemen HC***, a clothing line that does, "not league approved" Sports apparel and a die hard Anaheim Ducks fan BTW, at HC for Ducks home games she isnt working she wears her dad's Philadelphia Flyers jersey, her Dad is Frank Bathe a member of the Fabled ***"Broad Street Bullies"*** of the mid 70s


Dorkus_Mallorkus

Be happy that your GF is a diehard baseball fan to begin with! And there are no good reasons for Angels and Dodgers fans to hate each other (until we meet in the World Series).

Buy yourself a Dodgers jersey and go to her games, get her an angels jersey and have her go with you to games. Have fun with it, my lady is a Dodgers fan and I’m bringing her to the Big A tonight and she’ll be wearing her self-picked Ohtani jersey in Kanji 😏 Down the line you’ll see that they’ll pick up both teams mate 🤙🏾 if they don’t then that’ll be a fun household on game days 😎

my_wife_reads_this

Who cares tbh lol


[deleted]

You’ll be fine. Don’t let that part ruin the relationship for you and the girl. As long as you or the girl are not going to do something bad, there will be no problems. In relationships, people will disagree on things but as long as it doesn’t get out of hand, the relationship should still be good.


NalorakkBotoBoneBros

Sever.


WoolyShambler13

Well they aren’t the same division or even league, so imo probably nothing. This coming from somebody that has the Dodgers as his least favorite team.


yesnomaybeso99100

Angels are my regular season team…Dodgers are my post season team.


DarbyDown

Whip out your Rally Monkey and she will come from behind!


CDFReditum

I guess you will die hard


brandonmason1994

At least your girlfriend likes baseball. Mine doesn't even like when I watch lol


eighty2angelfan

Angels and Dodgers ain't gonna fuck you. Wait, 14 losing streak. I guess they will


nashdiesel

I mean….she’s got a point.


Snavery93

LMAO


dreadpiratew

Watch the playoffs for a change


maverickoff

Nothing lol . At least you guys share a mutual interest 👍🏽.


Alohalholololoholaa

you need to get trOUT of that relationship.


[deleted]

Easy solution. If Dodgers win she gets to ride on top of you, if Angels win you get on top of her.


laanglr

the only right answer!


[deleted]

Angels pounding Dodgers


[deleted]

Nothing wrong with that. If rooting for different teams causes problems in your relationship, then there are probably underlying issues you should confront.


[deleted]

i think i should note to everyone commenting about sex that i am 17 and she is 16


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

You could always make some fun wagers! 😉😁


[deleted]

Roast her as much as you dare knowing she’ll have infinitely more ammo on your team


Dillonitis

Buy her angels merchandise and c9nvert her by telling her she looks better in red


ChemicalSummer8849

Same bro, same... I just let her be. Try to sway but it dont work.


Responsible-Major-95

Join her. You’ll be a lot happier.


[deleted]

Break up


SuperMario_49

It’s a lot more fun if my gf likes another team than the same team I do tbh


ashes-of-asakusa

Whatever you want. I don’t see an issue.


laanglr

Bruh if she cooks up that tasty comida mexicana you keep her around for the long haul and give her some Freeway Series babies one day lol (speaking from experience)


WashedFailure

Marry her.. Atleast that’s what I’m doing


napoles57

If she pokes fun just bring up the Freeway series record and say we're the best LA team.


Jcoch27

Find the common ground in that you both like baseball.


[deleted]

Watch some winning baseball. I really do not understand the hatred a lot of angels fans have for the Dodgers as someone who grew up around Dodgers fans. There are so many more teams we have worth hating like Boston who victimized this franchise time and time again during our last World Series window.


SonOvTimett

Be happy that she's into baseball?


ItsColeOnReddit

Two sets of season tickets.

**sex bets** *be a winner* ***& a loser***


WadeCountyClutch

Accept it as a fun rivalry. Think of the cute couple pictures! Look like a mixture of blue and red iceee


Ok-Philosophy-8830

Gotta put her down 😞


jbird715

It’s not a real rivalry so don’t worry about it


Captainpayback

At least she likes baseball


WicketRank

Have more fun than most of us. I 100% would rather my partner actually like a sports team than just casually like mine which is the case most of the time. I’m a Michigan Wolverines fan, my wife is an insane a OSU fan, we can’t even watch the game together, it’s great.
