Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 405 comments

Well, after a less-then-auspicious start to the game, this one has turned good. Boston once held a 5-1 lead, but the Angels have chipped away a little each inning. They closed the gap to 5-3, and had the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh, but thank goodness for Howie Kendrick, who struck out on a pitch that wasn't in the same zip code as the plate, but then Justin Masterson decided to play Wild Thing and walk a run in. But he struck Ayber out and we now head to the 8th, 5-4 Boston.

I have a confession:

I rooted for the Angels over the Giants in the 2002 World Series. When I think about it now, it makes me sick… but it was early in my fandom, and I didn’t have a whole lot of reasons to hate the Angels yet, and I didn’t want the Giants to win. I think I am forever doing penance for that decision.

The Angels-A's rivalry

wasn’t particularly strong in the ’90’s through 2001. When the A’s first got good again in the Beane era, their primary rivals were the Mariners. I detested the Giants much more in 2002.

by Soaker on Oct 3, 2008 9:52 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I did too.
I apologize for it now. It was before I was an A’s or Dodger fan… it was the last time I ever rooted for the Angels and it was when I realized that the team that I grew up rooting for (yeah, we had season Angel tickets when I was growing up. I pretty much stopped watching baseball after we no longer could afford them in the late 90s.) was not anything like the team that was playing, or the fans that were watching in 2002. The bandwaggon fans turned me off of them and it’s been a steady and sure ride to completely disliking everything about the team ever since.

It’s funny to me because I was SO TORN before this series, thinking I equally hated both of them. But it is so obvious to me now how much more I dislike the Angels.
