Well, what else would you expect from the city that brought you "the La Brea Tar Pits" . . . aka "The The Tar Tar Pits"?

There is a bike shop here called Velo Bike Shop. Velo is French for Bike. Bike Bike Shop.

That's why they belong in Anaheim.

Worse: Their full name is The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Anaheim is pretty far from LA (35-45 minutes) and not even part of LA County. Why they didn't just stay the California Angels, or just change to the Anaheim Angels is beyond me.

The Anaheim Angels. Always.

One day I'll open up a resturant named "Thank you for calling, how can I help you?" and make everyone answer the phone, "Thank you for calling 'Thank you for calling, how can I help you?' how can I help you?"

Does it bother Neil that his name means Neal of Fat Tyson?

Aren't they in Anaheim? Dodgers are in LA, right?

I don't know how such a buzzkill know-it-all can still be so damn likable. It's got to be the mustache. I need to grow a mustache.

There's something similar in the US, a hot beverage in many coffee shops called Chai Tea. Chai in Hindi (Indian) means tea, so the drink is 'Tea Tea', hehe

Damn it Neil deGrasse Tyson, it's "The The Angels Angels... OF ANAHEIM."

Or is that "The The Angels Angels of Ana's Home" ???

Honestly, I thought this was going to be a science-related quip ruining the fear factor of Doctor Who's Weeping Angels. I'm glad it wasn't.

When you start Windows 2k, the splash says "Built on NT Technology"

NT stands for "New Technology." So, "Built on New Technology Technology"

Nobody around LA or Orange County calls them LA Angels these days. At least the last 15 or so years I can remember. Everybody refers to them as the Anaheim Angels. LA is for the Dodgers. Dodgers fans wear that "LA" symbol everywhere.

To all the angels fans out there: isn't it kind of funny he once we get trumbo into a home run derby and trout that the angels start getting some recognition and the all star game isn't just a orgy between the media and Yankees/red sox?

As a resident of Los Angeles, the majority of my neighbors do not consider the Angels "our" baseball team.

They'll always be the Anaheim Angels to me.

When I saw "Tyson" and "the Angels" my first thought wasn't baseball, it was, "He better not tell me the Doctor was wrong about the Weeping Angels being quantum locked." I like Tyson but you don't mess with THE DOCTOR!!!

That line dates back to at least 2005...it's in the Urban Dictionary, on Wikipedia, in numerous sports blogs.

Not really, it's a city, you don't just translate it over like that. It's no worse than "The the Angels Dodgers" or "The the Angels Lakers"

Imagine the karma I could get if I were quick enough to screen shot Neil Degrasse Tyson and Zach Braff's tweets and upload them to Reddit first....

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Orange County!....

Sushi at the ballpark is just wrong!

I thought of that immediately when they changed their name. They are the only team that has changed their names like 3 times and not moved stadiums. Sorry to say, that entire team is based off of publicity.

takeheed · 4 months

I don't care what they claim, or who owns the Angels. They're the California Angels. None of this Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles bullshit. Or Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Or Los Angeles Angels... Not even a The Angels.

It's, California Angels.

Fuck you. The End.
