Boo-hoo, you lost AGAIN to the one team you can't seem to beat in the playoffs, the RED SOX.

Well, if anything, ya got what was coming to ya. Maybe some higher entity or baseball god knew that this is how you would react if you lost, and let you have it.

I bet if you won, you'd be preaching about how good a team you are, how much respect we have for the other guys, and all the #### they always feed us.

I've got one thing to say to the Angels and any Angels fans who may be having diareah of the mouth or constipation of the brain, GET OVER IT. I knew you didn't have a chance heading into thie series, and you should have too, but since apparently you didn't, or refuse to admit you did, you're gonna whine about how the "BETTER" team lost 3-1. HA!

Shut up, you morons. The best team in April was the Red Sox, the best team inSeptember was the Red Sox, and now the Red Sox are the best team still playing in the entire league.

And about this "BLOWN CALL" at 3rd. Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! You have to be visually impaired not to see that Varitek clearly had that Angel out, then fell, followed by the release of the ball. Get it? Tag, fall, drop. Tag, then FALL, then DROP. Tag first.

Right: Tag, fall, drop

Wrong: Drop, tag, fall

Get over it. Once again, you are wrong, and I am there to make sure you remember.

Stop whining, the best you can hope for now is that the Red Sox go 8-0 and win another title. That way, at least your mediocre post-season attempt this year looks semi-good. You'd be the only team to get a win over the BoSox.

If you are an Angels fan, but not one of the whiners, but someone who can take a loss (that was a fair loss, it wasn't rigged) like a man, like a real sports fan, then congrats, and thanks, you give sports fans a good name. However, if you are one of the whiners, get real, and please don't comment until you do so. Thank you.

Lemme hear your thoughts!

Thought this might stump some people, and just thought it would be fun.

I am the only switch-hitter, besides Mickey Mantle, to hit 40 homers in multiple seasons.

I graduated from Canyon High School before attending a "food" college.

I hit 41 home runs in 1997, tied for third-most in the NCAA all-time.

I finished 5th in MVP voting in 2001, after hitting 34 home runs.

I grew up near the city of the team I currently play for.

If you take my jersey number, multiply it by three, and add 48, you will get the year I made my Major League debut. (with an apostrophe in front of the number, of course)

My division has sent teams to the World Series 2 of the last 3 seasons, dating back to 2005, one of which my team was in.

If you rearrange the letters in my name, you can spell MARK N BE CLEAN
