Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

Halos Need Snakes Fans Support

Top Ten Reason D-Backs fans should root for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the Playoffs:

  1. We handed you alphabetical possession of first place in baseball when we changed our name to "Los Angeles"
  2. Time to break out that Jason Bulger jersey
  3. Every Mike Sciosica victory is a twist of the knife in the Dodgers who fired him as their AAA manager
  4. Southwest Bias!
  5. We're an expansion team too, just like you
  6. Other than the Dodgers and the Rockies, we are the only postseason team who holds spring training in Arizona
  7. Relive those pleasant 2001 memories by watching US beat the Yankees in the ALCS
  8. If it is not us, then Boston will have no argument about being called "team of the decade"... barf...
  9. The Rally Monkey makes his offseason home in Lake Havasu City
  10. W.W.J.M.D.? (What Would John McCain Do?)
Poll
Will you be rooting for the Angels in the postseason?
Yes of course

No, I have not yet risen to that level of excellence

I don't care, unless it is against the Dodgers. In that case I'm buying an Aybar jersey!

Leaning Angels-ish

But might be hard if the Twins make it, as they were (very vaguely) my team prior to the D-backs starting.

You might see a few more of these, as I emailed the other SB Nation playoff-contending blogs tonight, inviting them to make a pitch. I’m collating their replies and will be posting the two ballots (NL and AL) at the end of the regular season, so we can see who gets the SnakePit endorsement.

I guess

if I had to choose my AL schedule would go:
Tigers
Angels
Yankees
Red Sox

And then my NL schedule:
Cardinals
Phillies
Tigers
Angels
Wait…whut?

I agree

as far as the AL is concerned. I might actually switch the Red Cubs and Yankees, though.

well

if i have to, sure, i’ll root for the angels, lived in OC for a few years and have some diehard angel friends there, so why not. beats the hell out of the teams i hate (yanks and dodgers) and the others i couldn’t care less about (the rest).

Number 6 is like saying

“other than Rockies, Giants, Padres, Dodgers, Phillies, Reds, Cubs, Mets, Braves, Marlins, Nationals, Brewers, Astros, Pirates, and Cardinals, the Diamondbacks are the only team in the National League.”

The Angels

were my dad and grandpa’s first team (way back to when the California Angels), and therefore mine.

So sure, why not?

by emilylovesthedbacks on Sep 26, 2009 12:50 PM EDT reply actions  

Man

I wish our team’s biggest problem was fan support.

by Azreous on Sep 26, 2009 5:26 PM EDT reply actions  

I dunno

It’s very difficult to root for a team from Los Angeles… then again, I’ve always liked the Angels. Not sure who I’d prefer to win, though, out of CO and y’all.

The Angels aren't from LA.

The Halos are my 5th-ish favorite team. Don’t know who I’m rooting for yet, maybe the Cards, my 3rd fave team. Lol.

your second favorite?

How

many favorite teams do you have, out of curiosity?

Angels it is.

Sure.

The Angels are my american league team anyways. I am a big fan of Chone Figgins.

by SaveUsY2J on Sep 27, 2009 11:24 PM EDT reply actions  

Gotta love the Angels

The play baseball the way I like to see it played. Plus, when you consider everything that team had to endure this year, and still they won the division…hats off to them.

Besides, the owner is a UofA grad, and the whole front office is littered with Wildcats.

Go Angels!

by azjazzman on Sep 28, 2009 4:10 PM EDT reply actions  

Besides,

the owner wanted to buy the Dbacks, but Colangelo ran him out of the organization instead.

:-( :-( :-( :.( :.( :.(

I will never root for the Angels

Or any of the other AL teams, and the Dodgers.

I would rather be captured by Hamas.

I laugh until my head comes off.

by edbigghead on Sep 30, 2009 2:00 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah Halos!

In the ALCS!

I have a shrine dedicated to Mark Reynolds, wherein I keep his bobblehead, signed baseball, and jersey T-shirt.
