Why not the division? Why not us?

 

Houston's opponents being trash, that's why.

Jose: " this is the best breaking ball i've ever seen from Cam Bedrosian since they tied it up"

 

Making CSJM proud once again

Victor, I am already home, but thank you for your concern.

 

Also, I don't know what people expect from Alex Curry interviewing these neanderthals after they've just expelled ridiculous amounts of testosterone, she's doing exactly what she's supposed to do.

"Are you guys having a blast right now?!"

 

"Uh no, Alex, we're pretty down actually."

[TroutField]

There is something magical brewing here!! Giavotella is really trying to show the Angels that 2nd should be his next year. Cam Bedrosian is a totally different pitcher than the guy that was up earlier in the year. Go halos!!

Random question, but can anyone confirm if sosh is capable of growing facial hair? His face is always so round and cleanly shaven

This is hard to believe. This team has found so many ways to disappoint this season and it just seemed so natural to assume they'd do it again - maybe they still will. But this is a fun ride anyway and we've put ourselves in a situation where we pretty much control our own destiny. We can do this.

Another clutch win. Let's keep up the momentum Halos!

Houston just needs to lose a game to give us some breathing room, for the love of god. It feels like if we lose a single game at this point the entire season is over.

[UndertheHalo]

another nail biter.  We winning these big games, Im gonna be so ****ing happy if we somehow win the division.

Chris Carter had to pick the last week of the season to hit a bunch of home runs all of a sudden.

You sound like Albert when he justifies his performance by saying "baseball is hard mang"

 

so you think it's harder to gage a 95mph form your couch?

I don't think the Angels ever didn't control their own destiny. If someone wants to figure this out please be my guest. But I know that at least going into the Seattle series they controlled their own destiny, so at most their might have been a 1 or 2 game stretch where they didn't this year.

The Angels momentarily did not control their own destiny after they lost the final game against the Twins. (Twins had possibility of winning out and remaining 1 game up over the Angels to end the season). Angels control their own destiny to get into the second wild card, but not the division unless Houston loses and the Angels win.

If they both win out then they are tied. Forgive my ignorance but do they give the Astros the division and the Angels the WC based on head to head record?

In the one-WC era that worked since there was no real difference between the spots.  But now they'd have to play a game 163, to decide who avoids the play-in game.

[Homebrewer]

3 team al west tie?

Could that even happen?

 

My brain hurts.

Scottlux answered this question in another thread..

If the Rangers win the next two, and if the Astros and the Angels both go on to win all but one game, there would be a three-way tie for the division and the second wild card.

Head to head records are as follows:

Astros > Angels > Rangers > Astros ...

as a result, home field advantage goes to best intradivision record overall, which would be Angels. There would be two tiebreaker games:

Game 1: Rangers would host the Astros. Loser of that game is out.

Game 2: Angels plays the winner of game 1 on the road. Game 2 winner wins the division, loser becomes second wild card.
