i think vansmack may be from anaheim proper, but i'm not 100% on that, but he's the angels fan. . . i'm from san jose, and i'm an a's fan.

I now live in SF, however I was born and raised in Anaheim until I moved to DC for grad school.  I was in attendance for all three AL West Division Clinching games (79, 86, 04), the infamous Hendu game that I'm looking forward to reliving all week, and 4 of the seven World Series games.
 
 If I was rooting for the A's last year, it was because I was rooting for the west, though I don't recall. In 2002 however, I littered this board with Halo's propaganda all playoffs long.

I didn't until Game 6 of the 2002 World Series, at which point I found utmost respect for the little guy.

well, i also think its bullshit that the game start time (EST) are....
 
  LA/STL
 
   1pm, 8pm
 
  HOU/ATL
 
   4pm, 4pm
 
  BOS/ANA
 
   4pm, 10pm, 4pm
 
  NYY/MIN
 
   8pm, 7pm, 8pm
 
    apparently Dodgers fans get to eat breakfast to thier first game, Red Sox fans have to stay up til god knows when for Game 2 and unless you are a Yankees/Twins fan you dont get SHIT in prime time. the STL/LA series gets one, but thats not even prime time for LA.
 
    the networks are DYING for the Yankees to win this one....one more small market world series champ and baseball could be dead forever!
