The Deciding 10 Games

[laagamer]

3 Games - August 22-24

4 Games - August 28-31

3 Games - September 22-24

 

We've proven that we can hold ground with the A's marching towards the end of the season.

 

This upcoming series should be great baseball and I can't wait to watch it.

 

These games will decide the season. I'm hoping both teams stay healthy so we can enjoy it. 

 

Very excited. 

[Lou]

I hope everyone on their team gets injured

[Slegnaac]

Hopefully GRich gets to start at least 2 of those games.

[ELEVEN]

I hope everyone on their team gets caught inside tarpy.

[The God of Runs]

I wouldn't mind someone on the Halos landing on the DL

[ELEVEN]

Hopefully GRich gets to start at least 2 of those games.

He looks to start a game in each of those 3 series as the rotation stands right now. He also stands to start our first post season game/series

[Jeff M]

Hopefully GRich gets to start at least 2 of those games.

 

He won't be starting any of them next weekend.

It is silly to think 10 games out of 41 will decide the division. It may tip the balance but the A's get to finish their last four games against a Rangers team that quickly slid backwards into last place while the Angels have to battle the Mariners for what may be the second Wild Card.

 

This season is going to require 41 more well played games by the Angels and not just against Oakland. Any slip up puts one or the other team in the lead going into the last week of play and it does not favor the Angels at all.

[Guest]

Every game is going to be important. Can't afford any losses.

[Blarg]

There are going to be losses and against Oakland. You can't expect to run the table for the last 40 games. The best hope is to walk away even or better before the last series because the A's would have to choke hard to lose the Rangers series.

These two teams have kept stride all season.

 

I highly doubt either teams' lead is going to extend to such a point that these 10 games will not matter.

 

If you think I was stating that we should smoke a J and chill the other 31 games then you misunderstood me. 

[tdawg87]

Did somebody say "smoke a J"?

 

[Angel Oracle]

Clean up on the under .500s and split the 18 remaining with Oakland, Seattle, and Cleveland.

That could still well produce the best AL record.

6-4 sounds good to me.

[laagamer]

All you can ask for is 10 more good baseball games. 

 

Sounds good to me. 

[LAAMike]

We need a blow out win or two.  Too much pressure on our bull pen.

feels like the mod 2000's

Sounds good to me.

I can ask for 10 wins

[ELEVEN]

I can ask for 10 wins

Makes sense to go through the proper channels. Thanks!

I'd like to see the Angels win 8 of those games, but I'd be happy with 7.
