That's officially the worst outfield ever to be fielded.

GO ANGELS!!!!

10 games under .500 with 16 games to play; 14 behind HOU in the AL West; 12.5 behind SEA and TOR in the WC; elimination numbers today are 3 in the West and 5 in the WC.

Good news for today: Sandoval pitched Tuesday and won't be back for a few days.

Has Wantz been stretched as an opener to go 2 innings?

Following the Angels all the way to the finish since 1961.

If you add their batting averages together you get a good season of Tony Gwynn

To note:   The Halos record is only 8.5 games back of the Twins.

One can only wonder what the margin would be if the Halos played in the much weaker AL Central, as I’m sure all other non-AL Central teams not named the A’s are wondering too.

AL Central to paraphrase Sir Charles:

Bad division man, bad bleeping division!

[Angelsjunky]

That lineup would struggle to play .500 in AAA.

Yeah ....mlb needs to fix that by sending Hou or Texas to the Central.   Send KC to the west.   Need to balance things out.

Or the Angels could just be better.

Uh Yeah...No.

They could just send Nevin to Houston, to balance things out.

That's "George Brett Phillips" to you, sir.

[Jay]

France is HBP so often it's weird.

[ADHB]

Big brain Nevin strikes again.

And the Angels defense...

It's pretty shocking the lineup today compared to opening day.  Indeed basically a middle of the road (at best) AAA lineup.
