Poll:

Do you think there is some economic benefit of changing the name from Anaheim Angels to L.A. Angels?

Yeah the fuckers can make new jerseys to sell. Fuckers!

Nail ----> on head!!

[Spacey]

Who\'d want to buy one of those jersey\'s anyways???

Most of the people in OC are lemming idiots w/ NO sense of history @ at all. They also suffer from a huge inferiority complex when it comes to L.A. The jerseys will sell.

[Gordo]

what a shame.

[leith]

Yeah it\'s kinda like Chicago\'s "second city" status to NYC and the reason Chisux jerseys are being sold in Cub memorabilia stores. Selling out @ that.

[Gordo]

dont know too many sell outs my man. i know plenty of cub fans who are rooting for the sox but still feel repulsed when someone tries to stick a Sox hat on them. still missing whats wrong with hoping the sox win over the astros/angels/red sox.. if the cubs were the NL representative id wish the sox nothing but the worst.

Must be weird having a rivalry within the city.

Funny I told my buddy during the last game after the grand slam" I guess the Chisux are going to sweep" He laughed when that game got tied up saying " you want to retract that?" I said "watch". A few minutes later the Series is 2-0. So tonight\'s classic game is just making it more evident. They have a Series record w/ the longest game in min. and tied one w/ innings played and all 3 of the games so far have been close. Nice touch to a championship that has taken a looooooong time to come back to the Windy City.

Congratulations White Sox and their fans, 2005 World Series Champions.

[Gordo]

there will be riots and murders on the south side, no doubt. if anyone on here has been around comiskey you know there is no need for explanation.

[Spacey]

:?:

[Gordo]

i think its in order spacey. the sox have their best chance of blowing the astors out tonight. we\'ll see how Backe handles the pressure. in all honesty, though, theyll probly win by a run in a crazy ending.

[Spacey]

I just read an article in the newspaper that said the Astros were the 1st team in 50 years not to have an African-American on the roster. just a little interesting FYI

[SlimPickens]

all the cosmic forces have come together to get them this far... might as well get one more set of wacky calls to push on through to the sweep.

[Wolfman]

Well, it\'s still 2005 and this is still baseball related, so I guess it goes in this thread.  The curse of the Epstino has begun.  If you are reading this message, the Red Sox will not win another World Series in your lifetime.  Hey, you got one, that\'s more than you can say for millions of other Sox fans.
