    Greater Los Angeles Area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The Greater Los Angeles Area, or the Southland, (not to be confused with the Los Angeles Metro Area which includes only Los Angeles and Orange Counties) is the agglomeration of urbanized area around the county of Los Angeles, California, United States. Greater Los Angeles includes the Los Angeles metropolitan area as well as the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Metropolitan Area, and the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura Metro Area. San Diego and Imperial Counties, while a part of Southern California, are not included in this agglomeration.
    Anaheim is 26 miles away from LA.

    I think it's safe to say it's the same general area, even if arbitrarily defined lines dictate that it's in a separate county.

    Whatever. Don't tell me that L.A. would be the perfect city for him, when where he says he wants to play is actually 26 miles away.

    Re: Peavy Is Available

    I hated the league allowing them to change their name to the LA Angels of Anaheim.........what a stupid move that was.........it was bad enough as the California Angels, but at least it wasn't wrong......they are located in Cali.......the Angels are not in, and have nothing to do with, LA.

    And you know I love taking shots at the Dodgers when possible, but this time Dodger fan is 100% right

    the worst is the New England Patriots. Nobody gets upset about that one, but it pisses me off. Everyone assumes that since I'm from Connecticut, I MUST be a Patriots fan since I'm in New England. It's the dumbest thing ever. They're the Boston Patriots, or the Massachusetts Patriots, or the Foxboro Patriots. Get it right.

    I think the name is dumb just because it sounds stupid, but they're still in the Los Angeles metro area no matter how dumb you think it is.

    Yes they are.

    The "Los Angeles Metro Area" comprises Los Angeles and Orange counties.

    Re: Peavy Is Available

    Anaheim is closer to LA than Escondido is to San Diego.

    Nobody would be whining about the Angels going with "LA" if not for arbitrarily defined lines stating that they're not in the same county. (And if "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" didn't sound so stupid.)

    Nobody would care about the LA part of the Angels name if they'd had that name since their inception.........but they've gone through too many name changes, and this name is bordering on insulting
