[daygloman]

Far out!

The series at home is ours!

Lets finish off these assholes tomorrow!

It would improve my outlook tremendously!

Light up the Halo!

Go Halos!

Take that New York.

Really good to see Sandoval get things back together and pitch well. 

[PattyD22]

Finally.  A guaranteed series win.  Seems like freaking forever.

Great pitching effort by everyone.

Offense did the job.

No coaching or managerial blunders….

Great win against the Yanks tonight

I've noticed it looks like the team went to the same barber and got the same military buzz cut. Moniak looks like a long hair hippie in comparison to most of the dugout.

That's what winners look like.

Best pitched game in a long time. Only two hits, a bunch of easy outs. Enough productive hitting to get a nice lead. A series won for the first time in forever. A sweep will be big. A chance to get three games closer to the Yankees than when thry came in.

The best part was after he walked two in a row with one out in the second, he bore down and got the next two outs without giving up any runs.

The Angel pitching over the past 2 games

Where has this version of Sandy been all season? It was nice to see!

[Revad]

Last time we won two games in a row was June 26-27 against the White Sox.

[T.G.]

Easy Peasy

Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack, I don't care if Rendon ever gets back. So we beat, beat up on the Yankees, if we don't win it's a shame, and it's one...two...three strikes you're out at the old ball game.

[robblin17]

Fuck it. Go for it!

The players playing well made sure that complex decision making was taken out of the equation.

Yeah but on Fletchers twitter poll, 82% of the minnows said to not throw Estevez in the 9th.   Can always count on the worst suggestions/decision making  to come from Twitter.  LoL.

Beating up on the Yankees will brighten anyone's spirits

[Erstad Grit]

Damn every team we're chasing in the WC lost today

I don’t want to get any hopes up (including mine) or anything but we are within striking distance of the stupid Astros and Jays for a wild card spot.

Avoiding a losing season series against the Yanks.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

If we win tomorrow we will have the WC tie breaker against Boston and NY.

[PattyD22]

I’ll be honest.  After the game on Saturday, I was pretty stoked about how the Angels fought back against the Asstros.  Then Sunday happened, and I still, mentally, can’t get over how shitty that game was.

Now we’ve won 2 straight against the hated Yankees, and I can’t stop going back to Sunday’s game, thinking…..fuck.  Had we been able to win that game, we’d be riding a 4 game win streak and morale would probably be even higher than it is right now.

I’m glad the players are, hopefully, in a better place mentally.  But damn…I wish we won that game on Sunday though.
