Preferred name for the Anaheim American League baseball franchise?

[Bossy Monkey]

For non sports fans, Choice 4 below is what they are currently doing business as. (Seriesly.)

[bigwillq]

1. Yankee killers

:(

[Initech]

2. I've always liked California Angels.

[CreekDog]

3. If I was trying to pick the stupidest name possible for them

I'd choose what they currently use. :eyes:

[Bossy Monkey]

8. They could translate Los Angeles, making it The the Angels Angels of Anaheim.:) n/t

[CreekDog]

12. How about "The Lost Angels of Anaheim"?

This would help explain why they are not in LA. :think:

[TZ]

21. How about the California Creek Dogs....

:P One of the names they were considering for the Nats..was "SeaDogs"..:wtf:

[flvegan]

4. The Anaheim ThanksForHelpingtheBosox

who are now 3 games up.

[rockymountaindem]

9. High five!

I was at the game today. Thing of brilliance on Beckett's part.

[flvegan]

10. YOU lucky bastard!

[KamaAina]

5. I think they should build a big new stadium in South Central

and become the Los Angeles Angels of Los Angeles. :P

[Bossy Monkey]

6. Or the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles. n/t

[Bertha Venation]

13. NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Surely you jest. :P

[KamaAina]

19. Surely.

I'm goofing on the whole "L.A. of Anaheim" thing. :-)

7. It was California Angels for many years and that is fine with me.

We used to go to their games when I was a kid. Nothing wrong with "California Angels" in my book.

[Strong Atheist]

11. Recommended,

dammit (and it REALLY pains me to recommend a sports thread!) x(

[madinmaryland]

14. At least it hasn't been 55 YEARS since they won a World Series Championship,

like a certain team in Frisco!

[Bertha Venation]

17. and of course you know who beat the Giants the last time

they went to the W.S.?

The Angels! O8)

[madinmaryland]

18. There are a couple of Giants fans in the Sports Forum, that are driven

crazy by that fact. 55 years and losing the the Angels!

:D

[rurallib]

15. Suburban Los Angeles Angels?

[gmoney]

16. I was a California Angels fan in Ohio in the 70s...

I was a big Nolan Ryan fan, and so I rooted for the Angels. Was very frustrating how they threw money at some of the best players in the game (Rod Carew, Reggie Jackson, etc) but couldn't manage to buy themselves a world series win.

Kind of lost interest once I went to college...

[Throd]

20. You called it "The OC" and therefore you must die!

[Initech]

22. To quote Michael Bluth: Don't call it that.

[Bertha Venation]

23. Dunno who Michael Bluth is, but I second him.

[Initech]

24. I take you've never seen "Arrested Development".

If not I suggest you go out and buy all 3 seasons right now. Or you could just watch the whole thing on Hulu.

[AngryAmish]

25. The Enriquo Pellatzos

[Bucky]

26. The Anaheim Baseball Players

[Zavulon]

27. The Los Angeles Artists Formerly Known as the California and Anaheim Angels.

I prefer just "California Angels," but that ship has obviously sailed.

[Catshrink]

28. "Even though he's a daddy, Robb is still a dingbat"

hey, at least there's a bat in it.
