AL WEST Angels DEFINTELY in Jeopardy
Answer: a team which has won the AL west the last two years but their luck has run out for 2006.
Question: Who are the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?
If you translate "the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" it LITERALLY means:
"THE THE ANGELS ANGELS of ANAHEIM"
And the the Angels are in deep trouble, because the real A's showed up last night and beat the real Yankees in a great game, 4-3. Joe Torre made a managerial mistake. With the score tied 3-3 he put in Proctor to pitch the bottom of the 9th, figuring he would need Rivera in the 10th anyway. But Rivera didn't pitch on Monday night. The A's had put Stree in in the top of the 9th, Street even had a little interview in the corner box prerecorded saying, "I would love to pitch the 9th against Rivera going head to head in a tie game." That's what should have happened. To me that is the textbook situation where a closer has to go 2. Tie game in the 9th and your team is away. Instead the A's played Proctologist on Proctor. Torre pulled EXACTLY the same move in Game 4 of the 03 WS. With the Yankees up in the series 2-1 and the score tied in the bottom of the 9th, Rivera was in the bullpen when Alex Gonzalez sagavely lambasted a pitch from Jeff Weaver. The Yankees never won again in that series. In almost exactly the same situation last night, Torre did the same thing, and with the same result, Yankees Lose! YEEEEEHAAAAAW!

It's great to see the Angels lose, isn't it? Not many teams I truly hate, but they are one of them.
The name reminds me of the La Brea Tar Pits, which translates as "The The Tar Tar Pits." I think that was some character in the "Star Wars: Episode Crap" series.
