My Dorm Room

This was my dorm room when I was a freshman (I left about half my stuff at home). Now I'm a junior, and I've probably tripled my Angels paraphernalia since then, thanks to scholarships, job promotions, and whatnot...

I have 23 different Angels hats; 9 jerseys (4 Vlad, 1 OC, 1 Glaus, 1 Lackey, 1 Weaver, 1 Frankie); about 20 t-shirts; 3 jackets; 1 2002 World Champions Banner; 3 posters, about 300 Angels baseball cards; about 75 beer bottles from the stadium (none of which were mine. I'm only 20;) and way more stuff I can't think of, most of which is useless. What else does a college student have to spend money on? Tuition? Nah.

Congrats, Dave!

You're famous!

HalosHeaven Fantasy Baseball League

angels4adam — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 21:08:54 -0000

It's been built. I'm thinking that 12 teams would be about right. Go ahead and shoot me an email if you're interested. Since there is more than 12 members of this site, it's going to have to be somewhat exclusive (Read: competitive).

I think it would be cool to have two or three divisions (leagues).

D1: All-Stars (10 years + of fantasy experience)

D2: Pros (5-10 years of fantasy experience)

D3: Rookies (0-5 years of fantasy experience)

Also, what would be cool, would be to do it like the FA Premiership. The last three finishers from the All-Stars go down to the Pros, and the top 3 finishers from the Pros move up to the All-Stars, and vice-versa for the bottom three of Pros and top three of Rookies.

The only problem is, I can't commish all three divisions. So we would need a volunteer to be commissioner of the lower divisions.

I'm down for whatever, just let me know.

No cheating (Caseys Kiss of Death)...just kidding dude, relax.

Who holds the University High School in Irvine single-season record for field goals made? (We're talking about football, by the way.)

Fantasy Hockey

angels4adam — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 05:09:12 -0000

I have a Yahoo! Fantasy Hockey league going right now, and anyone is welcome to join, as long as they will stay somewhat competative throughout the season. Head-to-head scoring is used, and the draft is on Thursday, September 21 at 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time, but if you can't make the draft, it's all good, you can pre-rank your players and the they will be drafted for you according to your list.

oh yeah -

GOOO ANGELS!!!

world series

angels4adam — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 02:01:47 -0000

i remember when the angels were in the world series in 2002, all of the a's fans were rooting for us because the hated the giants so much.

i think it's safe to say that all of us hate the a's. i also think it's safe to say that alot of us hate the dodgers.

so...let's just pretend...

its a's vs. dodgers in the 2006 world series. who are you rooting for?

NO CHEATING!

Here is a trivia question I was asked the other day. I could only come up with two, so I had to go home and look up the remaining answers. Here's the question:

There are seven (7) players in MLB history who have hit 35 or more home runs in a single season, AND have 10 or more letters in their last name.

Name them (or as many as you can).

A's fans

angels4adam — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 04:21:52 -0000

i was at the angels @ a's game today, and everytime i stood up to cheer for the angels dominion over the oakland, this dude about three rows back kept yelling the same frickin thing over and over: "you in the red - sit down. go back to disneyland..." i dont get it. that doesnt make sense. disneyland is "the happiest place on earth. i'm not sure why an oakland fan would want an angels fan to be so happy. i would love to go to disneyland.

so after hearing the same stupid phrase over and over, i started to think about how little sense it made. when the usa lost to mexico in the wbc, did all the americans yell out, "go back to cancun! cabo san lucas, bitches!" of course not. and that's because everyone wants to go to cancun.

it reminded me of ron burgandy in anchorman screaming "you're a smelly pirate hooker. why don't you go back to your home on whore island"

so i decided to ask you all to tell me if there are worse fans than that of the A's. so please take the poll.
