Have to give some credit to the people protesting. It’s a new level of cheering that the players are responding to. Think if the entire stadium was doing roll call chants.
I give the most credit for the win streak to Wade Meckler the blue collar hustle spark plug player! #RepTheHalo #LetsGoAngels
One thing the Angels have over the dodgers and it's not debatable:
Angels have no bandwagon fans, everyone is a real fan, because ain't nobody choosing to put themselves through the mess of being an Angels' fan at this point 😂
@RogerLodge7@MikeTrout I agree! This team has the talent. They have shown signs of how good they can be. They are stuck in a mental rut. They just need to turn over the apple cart and shake things up.
@TKN951 So everytime the Angels slump you stop being a fan? Must be a new school thing.
No thanks I ride and die with the Angels!
Hard times make the good times all that much sweeter. #GoHalos
In California, the government collects far more per gallon of gasoline than Chevron (or any refiner) earns in profit.
Latest data (CA Energy Commission/EIA, Jan-Mar 2026):
- Taxes & fees: ~$0.90–$1.31/gal (state excise tax 61.2¢, federal 18.4¢, sales tax/UST ~12–14¢, cap-and-trade/LCFS ~23–37¢+).
- Refiner gross margin (costs + profit): ~40–60¢/gal.
- Chevron's net profit share per gallon: typically under 20¢ after all costs.
Taxes win by a wide margin. The Reuters earnings note in the quote reflects global upstream ops, not CA retail gas.
@boltsandhalos It was a special thing to see in person. I told my daughter she will be able to tell her grandkids years from now that she was at the game where Jo Adell robbed three home runs.
@D1SCHER So you are only a fan when they are winning and making the playoffs? Cool!
Go be a Dodger fan. They already have the store bought all star mvp team that you so desire.
