  1. We’re gonna be Cactus league champions mofos. And then AL West champions, and then AL champions and then World Series champs after that

    Buttercup Express is now leaving the station, All Aboard!

  2. With this win the Angels now have the best winning percentage in the league at .722 (13-5)

    Our Halos are going for back to back Cactus League Championships 😤
