Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Yeah, that makes sense. For those of you not from California, here's my problem with that title. Los Angeles and Anaheim are two different cities in two different counties. I mean, I would sort of understand if they were the Los Angeles Angels of Beverly Hills since Beverly Hills is a city within L.A. County. But, you might as well have the Los Angeles Angels of Boston as have the Anaheim. All these sorts of titles do is convince all of you who don't know about L.A. that L.A. is this HUGE city that stretches from the Pacific into Arizona. Nope, we're big, but we're not that big. So all ya'll who say you live in L.A. but live in Santa Clarita, San Bernadino, etc... you're not helping either. Stop it. Or pay higher rent & live in L.A. Then you can claim occupancy. When you're living 30 miles from downtown, you're not living in L.A. Just be ok with that and move on.
But I digress.
I saw a very sad game yesterday: Angels v. Twins. Here's why (in order of appearance):
1. Food - wow - how do you mess up a hot dog....over and over. Four of us had hot dogs; 4 of us were disappointed. My personal opinion - the bun. I think all the buns were stale. Pretzels were dry. No garlic fries. Mexican looked really good but the line was MILES long. Very upsetting. I feel I've wasted all those empty calories. Damn. Dodger Dogs so kick these sorry Angels hotdogs @ss.
2. Game - teams played badly...both of them. They both deserved to lose but I'm told that can't happen in baseball. Stupid sport.
3. Fireworks - dude, you're owned by Disney. Disneyland has ROCKIN' fireworks. Go borrow one of their people. They can do the music, the display, everything. Lets hope they take me up on my suggestion for future games.
Every cloud has a silver lining:
1. Traffic - Flew there & back. More evidence that Jesus loves me.
2. Weather - this is what we pay for in L.A. High 70's with a cool breeze...nothing better than watching baseball outdoors in perfect weather in a big hat. I rule.
3. Seats - If you're going to a single game and your team offers it, I highly recommend buying tickets that season ticket holders have put up through the team's website. (I know the Dodgers do it too.) We got great seats at the Angels game this way without paying the brokers fees.
So yeah, that was my day, behind the orange curtain, at the ol' ball game. Stay tuned for reviews on the Metrodome and Petco Park.

I'll offer my reviews of the Metrodome and Petco.
Metrodome: Sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks. All the charm of watching baseball in a warehouse. But now it only has to suck for ~3 more years. Thank GOD.
Petco: Much like Anaheim. A little newer, sorta confusing ingress/egress, decent but expensive food.
I couldn't agree with you more about the stupid name; it's amazing the lengths team owners will go to nowadays in the quest for the extra buck.
