On Monday's episode, Brent Maguire looks back at the memorable 2009 season. 2009 has the honorable distinction of being the last year the Angels won a playoff game (oof) AND the year they selected Mike Trout in the draft (yay). Beyond those two tidbits, the Angels also won 97 games in 2009, finally beat Boston in the ALDS, had a full lineup of .300 hitters in an August game, and tragically lost 22-year-old Nick Adenhart early on in the season. Beyond the 2002 title season, it's hard to find a year with more action and storylines than the 2009 season. -Crashing the Pearly Gates 2009 Playoff Reflection: https://crashingthepearlygates.com/ctpgtest/2020/05/11/playoff-reflection-the-2009-season/ -This Week in Baseball Nick Adenhart Tribute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTRLXYMjFIg&t=76s -All audio courtesy of Major League Baseball -Email: brentjmaguire94@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

On Wednesday's episode, Brent Maguire reflects on the Angels 2007 playoff season. The Angels were about to start off a stretch of three straight division titles, the only time the club has done that in franchise history. Just a heads up, there was an audio issue on Brent's end so the audio may sound a bit muffled throughout. -Crashing the Pearly Gates 2007 Playoff Reflection: https://crashingthepearlygates.com/2020/05/04/playoff-reflection-the-2007-season/ -All audio courtesy of Major League Baseball -Brent can be reached at brentjmaguire94@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In 2005, Bartolo Colon won the second Cy Young Award in franchise history and the Angels dominantly pitched their way to their second ALCS in four seasons. At the risk of bringing postseason PTSD to Angels fans, Brent decided to not go too in-depth for the 2005 ALCS (thanks @ A.J. Pierzynski and Doug Eddings). -2005 Playoff Reflection at Crashing the Pearly Gates: https://crashingthepearlygates.com/2020/04/27/playoff-reflection-the-2005-season/ -Angels GM Candidate article at Crashing the Pearly Gates: https://crashingthepearlygates.com/2020/10/19/examining-the-potential-angels-gm-candidates/ -All audio courtesy of Major League Baseball -Contact Brent at brentjmaguire94@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.
