  1. An Angels series win?

    Against a winning team?

    At this time of year?

    Localized entirely in Anaheim?

  2. WE WON A SERIES

    GET FUCKED AMERICAN LEAGUE, MICKY MONTIAK IS HERE TO FUCK SHIT UP

  3. Good solid win against a first place team. Can’t ask for much more than that

  4. # WE WON A SERIES AGAINST A TEAM WITH A WINNING RECORD!

    The angels may never lose a series again

  5. We won a series after winning the 1st game and blowing it in the 2nd game?!?!

    Is that allowed?!?!

  6. Ohtani back to his usual self pitching wise, bullpen doesn’t blow it, clutch hitting late in the game and won a series against a team with a winning record. So much good momentum heading into the next series let’s go!

  7. Great game! Nice to see the rookies balling out. Series win against a division leader, and we looked good. Let’s keep it going against boston!

  8. Booty clencher of a game especially with the bases loaded in that inning.

    Hope to see Moniak lead off more cuz 🔥🔥🔥

  9. It was really nice game! Sho pitch great, Neto-Moniak clutch and Thaiss triple! Sooooo fun!

  10. Congratulations Angels on finally winning a series against a winning team. Next: WS baby here we come! Lol

  11. Moniak is here to stay. Starting left fielder. Our new lead off hitter. Let’s get it
