Look. I was in second grade in 2001. The first Angels game I ever went to was Game 2 of the ALCS. The magic of that run was what made me a lifelong Angels fan; as a kid, I had dozens of plush Rally Monkeys in my room. I even made the broadcast once with my monkey chain.

But I want to offer that when you lose more games than you win for 11 straight years, maybe your "good luck" charm isn't that lucky anymore? The actual monkey in the footage (also played Marcel in Friends) is 30 years old and will likely pass on soon.

I'm not saying we need to ditch the mascot entirely, but maybe it's time to ditch the 26-year-old footage and do a refresh? Didn't the luck run out like....8 years ago.

Fresh ownership. Fresh start. Fresh mascot. It's time.

Does anyone know how much the authentic/elite jerseys cost in their off season sale?
Looking to buy a throwback jersey.

This season I managed to watch 105 games on MLB.tv with ~8 national broadcasts added on. Living in Hawaii being able to get off work in time to watch games was rough but happy to suffer through it all with you. How many games did you all witness? Would love to see your stats!

I know my fellow game thread lurkers and commenters are probably close to all 162!

Of 8.1 They got Tucker Davidson and were famously supposed to use the saved money "to invest in more depth"
