advanced stats mean nothing. Oakland lead the league in run differential and where did it get them? 

The Angels were doomed the moment Garrett Richards collapsed covering 1st base.

He was the horse that carried them.

There subsequent winning streak was the benefactor of the lowely TEXAS RANGERS.

And lest we forget that the Angels were swept 3 games prior to the playoffs starting in Seattle.

Ol' Mikey Boy allowed his a nice easy weekend instead of going into the playoffs with momentum.

I don't think its the Angels fault, KC has the momentum and are playing to win, while the Angels are playing to not lose. The "big" three of the Angels are 1-25 so unless they can start producing it doesn't matter if you pull Josh, they will lose. I believe in the Angels in this game because they have their back against the walls so i feel like this will be the Angels game.

1. Scioscia
2. Fat Mike
3. 14
4. "El Catorce"
5. Overrated trout
6. Cokehead
7. 49 Year old Pujols
8. Fat Mike Bunt happy game 1, pulling freese, etc etc
9. fat Mike NOT bunting when he should have in the 6th/7th last night, going with Shoe/ianetta, shoulda gone with Conger. Those easy steals to second probably wouldn't have happened. Stubbornly sticking with Cokehead. TERRIBLE pen choices at certain spots...i.e salas to moustakis???? 


Bottomline though is KC is the better team....I just laugh at the fact that no one should be out managed by Ned Yost but he sure is making Mike look stupid....but hey everything is going KC's way, they are DANGEROUS.  Everyone is doing their share, bats, defense, starters, pen....



You were getting me wary as soon as I started to read this none sense.....

Then you claim Trout is overrated......

Now I state.....

YOU'RE A FECKIN MORON.

Small ball rules in post season....to the teams that can't bunt or hit a runner over...I say but a coach that can give two rats for offending a 100 million dollar player.  At some point, winning has to be part of the equation vs. a coach worrying about offending that 100m player, right?

Garret Richards plays ever other 4 days. 

KC much like Detroit SUCKS balls...... 

as evident by competitive both teams were in a gas can divvy vs..... scrub teams like the white sox, twins, and cleveland. White Sox and Twins are pathetic..... 

KC boxed out a win against a slumping angels team..... sometimes it happens..... what are you gonna do. 

Lets see KC go up agaisnt an equally talented defensive team that crushes every inning 1-9 and a bull pen as good as theirs with better starting pitching......

It was my observation that the Angels lost to a better team.

Learners I think Trout bounces back from this again. He responds well to failure.

First taste of the bigs he hit .221. The following season, set the MLB on fire, and followed it up with an even better one. This year he went away from what worked and tried to become too much of a power hitter. If he was the same Trout that hit .330 and was willing to bunt for a base hit, they'd be the one advancing.

Agenda for next season should be to get a legit lead off guy (hopefully Aybar can be this guy), slide Kole to the number 2, hit Trout 3, Albert 4, Kendrick 5, Cron/Hamilton hits 6/7. The catcher and 3b guy can battle for the 8/9 slots.

Garrett will hopefully be better, Weave as well, hopefully CJ and Josh stop sucking and I know Skaggs and Santiago can improve next year.
