How come Blike Moomberg hasn't weighed in yet on this one. Blike, where are you?

Maybe Bloomberg can wear the mouse ears that fit him so well....then again after skipping the debate perhaps it should be chicken feathers.

"LA Angels of Anaheim" is probably the lamest name ever. That and the fact that they have the "Rally Monkey" makes them one of the lamest teams ever. Though the Yankees still have an uphill battle....

theyre the LA Angels of Anaheim. Thats their full name, and they play in Anaheim. The "LA" part in their name was added for marketing purposes, something which the local fans hate. I think Mike's offering is much better, its an FU to them, because we have all the most delicious foods from our insanely diverse cultural ethnic constituency. That being said, Mike is being a bit too conservative and stereotypical (Italian, Jewish, Latino...), he should have also included offerings from all of our Asian pals, who represnt daily with all the yummy Indian, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese foods we have here. I think Anaheim's offering is pretty lame and bland. Jen, if you're so jealous of the beach and the sun and dont feel the pride for what we have here on the East Coast, why dont you just move west?

I don't understand why they changed the name. Orange County is a large place with a lot of people in it. They don't need to feed off LA anymore. On a related note, if the Giants went to the super bowl, wouldn't it be funny if the mayor of East Rutherford got to make the bet with the opposing mayor?

At least when NY wins we keep playing because the winnings offered suck ass!

i know they play in anaheim and everything, but shouldn't the wager be made with the mayor of LA? i mean, they are technically the LA Angels now.
