Dodgers, DodGERS, DODGERS!

This job is awesome, where else can you sneak out at 3 to go watch the Dodgers game. Oh yeah, you can root for the Angels too I guess.

Comments

To all you Angels fans, this sums up your postseason...HALO AND GOODBYE.

"Hey Pedro I trade jew my Nachos for a Chalupa and a Chimmeychanga" No way!!!!!Can jew tellz me what shannel the Doiyers are playing on. Oh no Jose" but I can tellz you dat the Angels are in therez casas Watching eet on TEE-VEE. mi casa es su casa! HEET A HONERUN MANY! easint that fernando valenzuela? ay dos mio!

If you own a rally monkey, you have no love from the Dodgers! Keep the racist jokes coming, we know what angel fans are all about.

The squeeze play failed, the ground cause the fumble, Willits was tagged out plain and simple. Artie will go out and get players and try again next year. As far as Angel players saying they had the better team this year, screw you! your at home. Dodger team party after the World Series will be in in that Tijuana part of Orange County called Santa Ana where the Mex. Population is 98% except for the kids that attend Mater Dei. Hey it is THINK BLUE WEEK and you know what the Angels are at home singing the BLUES right now. "We Love L.A." OC sux!

As an Angel fan I'm embarrassed. I never thought that our offense would go to sleep and then the mistakes in the out field. Vlady going 1 for 61 in hitting in the post season and his stupid base running all year. I always thought that our bullpen was our weakness. Frankie is nothing special and if you followed the team this year you know of what I speak
So I'll take the heat and take the rally monkey home and back in the cage for another year.
I'll still take the rally monkey over the knives, guns, gangbangers, f-bombs, screwed up parking, the fights in the parking lot anyday.
The only good thing about the Dodgers nowadays are the only true Dodger connections left to the O'Malleys,and that's Vin and Tommy. For those two and those two only I'll always have a tiny bit of Dodger Blue blood running through me.

Their one and the same aren't they?

We'll have it in both places. Maybe some of you angel fans can make a run for the border and enjoy an enchirito or maybe a mexican pizza while you're down there. Enchirirto, what is that anyway? All I ever read about is a sniveling lackey/napoli wondering why teams celebrate after beating them. Got Playoffs? what a great shirt the angel marketing team developed.

To Robledo is a Hack and Say Congratualtions...you just proved my point, for all the classy Angels and Dodgers fans, there are people like you in every park. But I'm forgiving, I've got a free Dodgers hat for you if you wanna stop by the office.

If the Dodgers win, will they hold the rally in LA or Tijuana? Just wondering,
Angel fan

One L.A. Team is still playing, thats right the real L.A. team called the Dodgers. Angels get your a--es back to Anaheim where you belong. Losing to the Redsox? Vlade did not show up at all in this series neither did your wonder boy Frankie Rodriguez. Dodgers / Red Sox World Series, that Manny trade will come back to Haunt them, WHY NOT IT IS HALLOWEEN.

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!

I just cannot believe the Dodgers are in a position where they could end up playing in The World Series. If all it took was to get Manny Ramirez, Casey Blake and get Furcal back then could you imgine the teams W-L record had they had these guys all year. Having Blake DeWitt at second reminds of the time they brought of Steve Sax. Torre is Making some nice moves with his pitching rotation and is such a veteran when it comes to post season play. The Phillies are a scary team to play, especially after seeing the Dodgers swept the last time they played there. Hope Furcal is the differance this time. Dodgers in 6. Angels...well they are on borrowed time, but heck anything is possible. Food wise I take a Dodger Dog over anythying they have served in Anaheim Stadium. I will never eat there after knowing Rats live there. Maybe they should start selling Rally Rats. Chowders big tonite.

THANK GOD! THE ANGELS LIVE! At least they didn't get swept! Then again it took 12 innings to beat an average BoSox team... Angels are done... it's not if, it's when. No chance to come back and beat the BoSox, and even if they did, they'd get clocked by the other AL team - I think PeeWee Herman and 8 of his friends can beat the Angels right now. Hell, I think the Angels can loose without the necessity of an oposing team. They'll just run out onto the field and kick their own asses. Hang in their Dodgertowners. LA is blue and white and the Dodgers will play for the title this season! Maybe Scioscia can pull some Dodger strings to get the looser Angel players some tickets to Dodger stadium for round 2 and the WS?? Then again, maybe Artie can buy a block of tickets next to the boyscouts in the nose bleeders for his guys. He tries to buy everything else! Angels SUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK....

Lackey will pitch his a-- off tonite again but the Angels need to give him run support. I like the idea of a collision between the Dodgers and Angels in the WS. Not going to happen tho. The Angels will win tonite fly home to Anaheim (oops I mean L.A.) and lose game 5 at home. Wonder what airport there plane lands in? LAX or Orange county John Wayne or Ontario. Dodgers in 6.

angel fans are classy.....just read their comments. Tell it like it is Robledo!!!!GO DODGERS!!!
I'm subscribing today.

Hey angel fans take it easy.....you still have your rally monkey. At least you can play with that.
LA Dodgers, Tijuana Dodgers, Covina Dodgers fans...take them anytime over an angel fan.
Where else can you fall asleep during a game other than angel staduim?

Just say congratulations, Robledo? To whom? Not to you....what have you ever done other than sit on a sidelines chomping on sunflower seeds like a god damn rat? You ever play hs or college baseball? I didn't see you make a play for the Tijuana Dodgers and their fat fans who go to the all you can eat section. Yeah, that's something to be proud of...a bunch of heffers heading to dodgers game to hammer down as many dodger dogs, peanuts, etc just to expand their waist size to 42 inches......and then there's their husbands.....yeah, congrats on winning a single playoff series for the first time since 1988 and to Joe Torre for winning wherever he goes....but not to some blowhard hack who needs to put a middle initial in his byline like he is a legit reporter.

Maybe Angels fans would be more classy if so-called journalists weren't so biased in who they root for online or in the paper. That sports section blows, especially when people who were never good enough to play in a game, cover it. No wonder everyone I know has canceled their subscription and if they do read the bird cage material, its online as to not waste a cent on such an inferior product. Let me guess: Robledo is in his 40's, not married and has "roomies?" Hmmm, I wonder how he and his boys in West Hollywood are doing. Angels fan in large part cheer for the local team when our team is done, butit would be nice to see equal coverage or no bias from midget reporters.

Thats ok come Thursday the angels and all their fans will be watching the Dodgers / Phillies NLCS game while at home. You want to be L.A. Angles fans, well get behind your L.A. team the Dodgers. Adios Amigos!

Angel Fans, just say congratulations and leave it like that. You're supposed to be the classy ones, right?

just wondering angel fans may be home early but you guys will just prolong your misery by one series.
take a pill go to sleep and we will see you next year.at least i adnit the angels bullpen suck it got us throught the regular season but Frankie the F@#k isnt all that.
oh by the way your beloved LaQuarts or whatever their name is aren't going to sign Manny next year so say bye bye to Manny.After that you back to the cellar

To: "Mr. Dodgers fan and Robledo"...
You all keep beating up the Dodgers and their fans... Whatever... we'll win the series against the Cubs and the Angels will be watching TV this time next week! By the way... I'm the whitest guy in California... but I do love burritos! Rock on Blue Crew!

Take it easy one of those gardners could be your father or your old ladys sancho. You might want to smell her next time your lawn is cut, she might smell like a burrito with alot of chile.

Just wondering...when the season is over, do all you dodgers fans drive or take the bus back to tijuana? Only thing lower than a dodger fan is a raider fan. Keep hammering down those burritos and not using birth control to over populate Mexico...errr southern california.....the world needs gardiners, right?

So you a-holes that think that the Angels aren't a LA team your home town paper sure does.
But then again most of you have drop out and are part of some gang and can't read a paper.

I can read the words you wrote, but can't understand wtf you're trying to say. The angels are the angels-plain and simple, with all the winning they do in the regular season you would think their "fans" would make some noise. I can't believe a full stadium can be so quite. definetely one some of the worst fans in mlb, a freakin rally monkey get's them more excited than a win. I guess you'll have to add to our cute little shirts that say"got playoffs", you can now add "how 'bout a playoff win", why print that shirt when you can't even win a game? Go play with your monkey.....say bye to recording setting frankie rodriguez

So I'm watching the game tonight and all I was thinking about was all these Dodger fans bagging on the Angels and where they play which county is this and that and such is such. And I just remembered on top of the HUGE and I mean HUGE bigger than Dodger stadiums video board is nonE other than the LOS ANGELES TIMES in big bold letters.
So you a-holes that think that the Angels aren't a LA team your home town paper sure does.

If the Angels lose tonite they are done. With all the commanding leads in the standing all year and the Cubs the best record in the NL and the Angels the best record in the AL, who would think they would be in a postion to get bounced so early. Records may get you there but once you get there it is the best at the time that wins. Go Big Blue.

Dodger Blue BABY !!!

This has been and ALWAYS will be L.A.'s Team . Although the Angels have had some success recently , my heart belongs to the Dodgers. WIN OR LOSE ! Like Fred says THAT'S WHAT LOYALTY IS ALL ABOUT .I'll still root for the Angels to beat the Sox too, I HATE BEANTOWN !

Fight On
TM

Cubs are done. Dodgers in 3............. Sweep!.Too much pitching and too much hitting. Cubbies have no Answer.

I don't understand how anyone could hate the dodgers? At least they are not the Yankees (like my wife AAArrrghhh). Can we support a freeway series for once?

All Artie did for the fans is lower beer prices so he can draw in his clientele "the mexicans" with the sky high beer prices at Dodger Stadium Artie played the race card. Not a bad move.

Smell Choke...
I think you're right I'm not a big Frankie Fan he may have fifty but the way he pitches during the regular season doesn't translate in the post season.
Hopefully we dump him next year.

Earth to Just Wondering... it's the 21st Century! J/K

You're right RFK is in Washington DC! ...

It's just the Redskins haven't played there since 1997 when they moved to the largest in the NFL-"Jack Kent Cook Stadium" at
1600 FedEx Way
Landover, Maryland 20785.

When Daniel Snyder bought them to FedX Field he sold the naming rights, probably to help pay for his huge payroll.

RFK Stadium
2400 East Capital Street Washington DC 20003

Landover MD???

RFK is in DC... No??

Well Artie can always move them to play in Roski's pipe dream of a stadium in Industry. Closer to L.A. and out of the OC he can now really lay claim to the name L.A. Angels of Industry. The Angels will not beat 18-3 Daisuke Matsuzaka and will be down 0-2 going back to Beantown. Those Chowders are doing it again, ask Kobe and the Lakers.

Signs on a freeway and counties don't define a region. If you've ever driven freeways in Northern California it seems like there is a different county every few miles! There must be about 50 counties compared to 8 or 10 in SoCal.

We have TWO baseball teams in the LA region. It's not the city that you play in it's the region that you represent. Teams all over pro sports play outside of the city they are named for.

The Detroit Pistons play in Auburn Hills.

Tampa Bay Rays play in St Petersberg

The Buffalo Bills play in the city of Orchard Park in Erie County

The Dallas Cowboys play in IRVING, Texas but they are moving...to ARLINGTON!

New York Giants and Jets DON"T even play in the STATE of NEW YORK... They play in JERSEY!

And the Washington Redskins aren't in DC..they play in Landover, MARYLAND

Do you get the picture?

The San Diego Chargers are trying to build a stadium in Oceanside or Chula VIsta...the Chula Vista Chargers?

Unless or course the move to they City of Industry!

How soon they forget...

you said it all UCLA,GALAXY,LAKERS they all play in Los Angeles County, when you drive the 57 freeway you will see a sign that says Orange County Line. The Angels and the Rams played on that side of the line. From what I see that will never change and Orange county will always be their own city. The Dodgers will always be L.A.'s Team. Hey if Artie wants to call his Team L.A. he should built a stadium in L.A.. This is where the Angels started L.A., we welcome you back anytime but as of right now L.A. is Dodger Town get used to it. I am sure you already are, it has been too long. Remember when they called themselfs the California Angels? The Anaheim Angels? a new one should be the O.C. Angels. where they get L.A. from is all marketing strategy but you still play in the OC.

But with that said i could have killed Vladie last night for running us out of that inning! And despite everything.... our bullpen and Frankie aren't that good.

CBaseballFan.......

Been a Angel fan since the days of Albie Pearson, Jim Spencer, Andy Messersmith, Clyde Wright, Bobby Knapp, Foley,Downing and Moore. I could go and on but you wouldn't have a clue who any of these guys are anyways. Some of us have been on Mr. Autry's bandwagon a long time. And thank God Artie carries on Mr. Autry's legacy at the stadium.

Scioscia... sorry about that spelling!

I grew up in a small mountain town about 60 miles north and east of Los Angeles. When I was a kid there was no cable TV, so the only channels we could get were by way of an antennae atop our house. You can imagine the aluminum foil, coat hangers, and other attahments that were attached to the modern art masterpiece on our chimmney! We were able to get three channels - and one of the channels (KTTV) carried the Dodgers! So I became to biggest Dodger fan there ever was in my little town. I'm 40 years removed from those days and I've watched some painful seasons... But even now, in beautiful HD, I still love the Dodgers! As much good baseball as the Angels play, they will never be the Dodgers. As close as they can move the LA city limits to the Big-A, they (Angels) will never be from LA - LA is Dodgertown and if the Dodgers win - LA wins. If the Angels win - way to go OC - thank God for Socisoca - a former Dodger!

These same guys that make the weak LA/Orange County argument were more than likely traveling down to Anaheim to see the Los Angeles Rams play at the Big A. And didn't the Rams win a division title down in Anaheim while being called the Los Angeles Rams.
You guys talk out of both sides of your mouths.
If you use that argument then the Galaxy is not the Los Angeles Galaxy they’re the Carson Galaxy of LA County. UCLA would be the UCLA BRUINS of Pasadena of LA County. Were the Lakers called the Inglewood Lakers? That's where they played you idiots!
Wise up and THINK-A-BOUT-IT!
DDOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!

I have had my bad experiences at Dodger stadium and yes you have the idiot cholos/raider fans running around there making it a drunk fest and tatoo expo but they are no different then the Philly,NY,Boston or Chicago fans they have idiots too. you pay no mind to them you have fun at the ballpark and ignore they are there. Trust me if you are a season ticket holder these animals are one game buyers they are not in the same seat all the time. I grew up a Dodger fan, work in the OC but will always be a Dodger fan and season ticket holder. I have been to angels games out of pure love for the game and yes their stadium is nicer but I just cannot get into that team I actually go to see the other team. The Dodgers are L.A. anything else like the Angels is Orange County Anaheim not L.A. ..........Now lets take game two and this series and make the Cubs wait 101 years.

Allot of you guys are just plain silly here. We all live in the greater Los Angeles area, and we should root and support all of our LA area teams.

I for one, like both the Dodgers, Angels, Lakers, Clippers Kings, and the Ducks, not to mention the local major colleges.

So what the big deal ? Why is everyone so anti one or the other ? It's not the east coast here, where people have these crazy rivalries. It's LA ! Support you're local teams and you're community man !

Go Dodgers and go Angels !!

This just proves the theroy that all Angel fans are ex-Dodgers fan who jumped off the bandwagon.

Every park has idiots like that, so don't confuse my loyalty with condoning any of it. That's just nonsense. You act like it's not okay to be a Dodgers fan anymore. That's ridiculous.

the reality is when the Angels were founded they started as the Los Angeles Angels-and played in LA

Angels wish they were the Dodgers. Its obvious with the coaching staff they've had and the way they're advertising all over LA. And oh yea changing to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim WOW. LA will always bleed Dodger Blue. No matter how much money Arty spends.

Up 1-0 on the Cubs!
Go BLUE!

Yeah OK Fred having some big mouth punk use the f-word, and a few other vulgar names right in front of my 9 year old daughter and her friends for a birthday. That was the last straw for my season tickets Aisle 108 row K. behind home plate. You think I wanted to give those up? Once in my seats it was ok but getting there through the trash with your family wasnt worth it anymore. I had enough.
My neighbor who works off duty there (The White Shirt Guys)is a LA County Sherriff he doesn't even take his family there anymore.
I hope you retink your post Fred it's not about being a fan anymore when it come to that. It's called respect for others. If that's acceptable to you Fred I'd rather not be a fan at all and coming from you that really surprises me.

Manny goes yard.

5 to 2 Blue.

That's okay, if you were real Dodgers fans, you would still be Dodgers fans, no matter what. That's what loyalty is all about, for better or worse,in good times and bad.

The only good thing about the Dodgers is there past...The only attachment I have to that team now is Vin and Tommy.
Sciosa Hatcher, you may have misspelled Mike's name wrong but I'm right behind when it comes to watching a team with class and FANS WITH CLASS and it sure isn't in the ravine. It's obvious you were once a Dodger fan but as you know down the 57 the f-bomb isn't mandatory vocabulary. The Dodgers can have that trash that has ruin the family environment that once was Dodger Stadium

Grandslam Loney Dodgers 4- Cubbies 2

GO CUBS!

That's Scioscia.

Dodger fans know that (he won 2 WS as a DODGER, you might recall.) Angel fans only know that if they ask their high-priced tutors ;-) You know, since they're a "higher class" group of people and all, I assume they can afford tutors.

Going to watch the Angel game with a higher class group of people
