Seattle Pilots were in existence for an entire season, and played their opening series in 1969 against the California Angels at the Big A in Anaheim.
Pilots' field, Sicks Stadium, was home to the AAA affiliate of the California Angels from 1965 to 1968. Of course, they were called the Seattle Angels.
Seattle Mariners hosted the California Angels in their opening series as well, and the 1977 season began at the Kingdome in Seattle.

Another angel poem to add to the series, @simsa03 @simsa02
Fallen angels take root in Earth.
A river comes
to wash away, wash away
the soil.
The rooted wings slowly, slowly
gnawed free
flung to air
to fall again.
The flight is short
the fall eternal.

We kiss an angel with each breath we exhale. It doesn't matter if you "believe" in angels (I don't).

There apparently is a fire alarm going off during the Angels' game. "The ballpark opened in 1966. It certainly feels like a throwback ballpark."
A bit of color in the bottom of the 8th in Anaheim.
"I guess everything's all right. The fire alarm is still going off and we're just sitting here."

Willy Adames hit a 2-out single to LCF, scoring Tyler Fitzgerald from 3rd, and moving Heliot Ramos to 2nd. Jung Hoo Lee lined out to 1st to end the Giants' half of the 8th.
Giants 4 Angels 1

Justin Verlander's day: 6 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 1 earned run, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts, 1 HR given up. Doval is loosening up. Giants batting in the top of the 7th with 1 out.
Steve's Place
Sam Huff hit his 1st Giants HR, a 2-run shot to CF. Giants 3, Angels 1, still in the top of the 6th.

Heliot Ramos hit a double he (and a throwing error) turned into a makeshift triple. Ramos is a large man. He got to flatten the 3rd baseman on the play. Throwing errors have consequences.
Adames singled, scoring Ramos.
End of the top half of the 5th. In the bottom half, on the 1st pitch from Verlander, Zach Neto homered. It's 1-1 with 2 down in the bottom of the 5th.
Steve's Place
Verlander struck out the side in the 4th. He loaded the bases, but he also struck out the side.
After 4, it's Giants 0 Angels 0.
Steve's Place
While I paid no attention, the Giants beat the Angels, 3-2, on a Matt Chapman 2-run HR in the first inning, and a Willy Adames single driving in Mike Yastrzemski in the 3rd. Landen Roupp got the win, holding off the bats of the mighty Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim, Which Is A Place Sort-Of Close To Los Angeles, Which Is JUST LIKE ANAHEIM, Except It's Not At All Like Anaheim, And It's Also Not Here, for 7 innings of 2-run work.

Angels 2, Giants 0, final from Disneyland... er.. Anaheim.

This is the frontspiece of the book I'm putting together. In recent years, #angels have been creeping (fluttering?) into my #poetry. Now, I don't believe in angels and never have, but they seem to slip (seep?) in, like some sort of local color for the word tourist. I think I may have been infected with the angel virus when I first read #Rilke's Duino Elegies in my 20s. Schrecklich, baby. The name of the book is Better Angels. The idea for collecting the angels is @simsa03, so it's his fault.

The Inaccessible Cardinal
Or why Rilke’s poetry is really the math of transfinite numbers
Who hears me howl among
the assassin choirs singing hosanna?
Who if I weep will drink my tears
When the Wrath of God is poured?
What angel would take my prayer
As its prey, my plea grasped as in talons?
The amen held against me,
The massive beat of a huge heart
hymning with the beat of wings.
In the steep climb of the ladder of flight (cont.)

Then the peacock bullet fires itself
from the barrel
of this flower--
its coat of many prisms
all dusted with pollen--
into the heart of the next,
a dopplered blur
of sound and light
snatched from the frame
like the UFO
from a home movie;
so do the angels, those messengers
carry off
our suffering.
Deliver us, oh

The term of venery--the collective noun--for a group of angels is commonly given as a "choir"--or "flights" per Horatio to his "sweet prince" Hamlet. To my mind, the proper term is a shriek of angels.

I'm thinking about collecting my poems and other writings about angels into one book, since the angels insist on creeping into my work. "Yes, angels are chimeras, and that seems an obvious thing to say once said, but if angels are chimeras they are monstrous, cryptids of the Collective, offspring of Typhon the father of all monsters and Echidna the snake goddess, and kin to the sphinx." 2/5/2015 #selfquote #angels #poetry
