Are the Angels cursed

[Taylor]

Yes

[Swordsman78]

No but the Angel fans are.

[stormngt]

Yes.....its the only logical answer

[YouthofToday]

No, the Angels aren’t cursed. They just have an atrocious owner who has no clue how to run a baseball operation. 
 

Arte is the Urban Meyer as an NFL coach of MLB coaches. He’s a total, unmitigated disaster.

Maybe Arturo is the curse 

[TroutField]

Maybe it’s the curse of Los Angeles. 
 

until we change the name back to Anaheim Angels we will never see success. 
 

Edit: this is a joke… for whatever person put the facepalm react as if I was being serious. Oh wow it’s @Taylor the person that started the thread. *facepalm*

[full circle]

No.  Hey, we’re 1 for 1 when it comes to winning it once you get there.  Could be worse, we could be the Rangers. 

[Jason]

No, they just stink at baseball. 

[CaliAngel]

Of course it's a combination of multiple things stemming from owner led acquisitions, to on field decisions during games, to the ineptitude of even our athletic staff. 

But every season that goes by where a key player gets injured by a freak accident, or a once great player comes here and shits the bed, or we don't make the playoffs, or we don't have a winning record; it really is starting to feel like a curse.

And I can't think of a better (worse?) point in time that it all started going downhill, than when the new owner idiotically changed the name of the team purely for market share, after they won their first World Series in franchise history while being called the Anaheim Angels.

Not familiar with the Angels' curse? Read this. Maybe they shouldn't build the next stadium on an old Indian burial ground.

Cursed and stupid. Bad combo.

[tdawg87]

Maybe the real curse is the friends we made along the way.

 

[T.G.]

I don't believe in curses.

Except when they come from AJ

[Erstad Grit]

Kershaw gets injured every year,  but the Dodgers build a complete team so they don't fall apart.

I’m telling you, as a former mental health professional, that this place has saved my ass on more than one day.  I think it’s amazing there is so much support here, not just for me.  @Chuckster70 forgive for saying this, but almost seems like a christian community without the dogma.

About that.  What's your address?  I need to send you a bill.

Sure and the check is in the mail.  I have your address through my ai assistant

Your AI assistant didn't tell you that I don't have a home address because I'm an AI bot myself?  You probably purchased your AI assistant from the 99 Cent store.

Dude I have drones all over your ass and I could tell your weight right now.  So cut the bs.

Yesterday was proof that the Angels are NOT cursed.

Had they signed Ohtani for $600 + million, and then a few days later he tears his UCL and requires a 2nd TJ surguy, then FOR SURE the Angels would be certifiably cursed.

[UndertheHalo]

I think the people who manage baseball ops are pretty bad at doing that.  Not exactly a literal curse.  But I think it’s more fun to call it that. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

Yes! and the Op department and Arte suck as well.

Self-fulfilling prophecy, etc.
