LA vs the POSERS

Ah interleague play. Its a nice novelty to see teams from the NL and AL play each other in games other than the World Series but this could really have a bad effect on the standings. Some teams like the Dodgers luck out and get to play ANA, TB and TOR whereas other teams have to face the A's, NYY and BOS. How is that fair? The METS have to play 5 of the 6 division winners from last year I believe. That is harsh. Oh well.....

The Angels. They are calling themselves the LA Angels of Anaheim which is just plain stupid. Has there been a team with a bigger identity crisis in their history? I believe they were the LA Angels first, then California Angels, then Anaheim and now back to LA. The difference is the first time around, THEY PLAYED IN LA. I'm not sure if Arte has looked at a map of boundaries for LA County but ANA ain't close.

What is so wrong about being OC or ANA? The weather is better down here, the traffic isn't so bad, the women are beautiful and the beaches are cleaner. As much as I love LA and the Dodgers, I LIVE IN THE OC. There is a reason for that.

Anyway, to the games. LAD has Penny, Hendrickson and Lowe going (+ Lowe's crazy ass psycho stalking girlfriend/ex-TV sportscaster) against ANA's Santana (he's at home where he can pitch), Weaver (his brother sucks!) and Escobar. I'm hoping for 2 wins this weekend but would not be shocked to only get 1. We play down to our competition and ANA has no offense which means we will copy them with equally little offense. PLUS Hendrickson has been a gas can lately. This does not bode well.

My hope is that this rivalry will turn into the Raiders v. Chargers with the 'Doyer' fans getting all juiced and tatted up and coming to OC to beat down the stoner surf kids and rich yuppies. This could be great. We'll see what happens this weekend! GO LA, BEAT OC!
