The Rays are on quite a roll, 18-4 in their last 22 games and leading today.

 

We get to play them seven times late Aug/early Sept. 

 

First wild card spot could be out of reach by then.

Ray's pitchers have posted a 2.09 ERA over the last 17 games.

 

Fernando Rodney has not allowed a run in 12 appearances and has converted 13 saves in a row.

So much for last year being a fluke. Something wasn't found and fixed here.

This is partially why I believe there is no chance of us making the playoffs. Too many good teams ahead of us. Even if we play .625 ball from here on out, plenty of other teams will play close to that and are too far ahead for us to catch.

Now THIS is how you run an organization!

 

You hear that Arte and JeDi?

Savvy/smart trades and signings, great farm system. Must be fun

The 2013 Angels assuming ZERO moves (except a couple re-signings) since Morales' unfortunate injury in 2010:

 

Bourjos

Segura

Trout

Morales

Napoli

Trumbo

Aybar

Kendrick

Conger

 

Weaver

Corbin

Chatwood

Saunders

Skaggs 

 

with a much stronger minor league system due to NOT giving up draft picks to sign big free agents, for about three quarters of a billion dollars cheaper.

Remember the Maddon vs. Scioscia argument. LOL. 

[Angel Oracle]

Maddon and pitching coach Jim Hickey are looking more and more attractive to the Halos every year.

This is more depressing than reading CNN. Aaaaaand I don't even read.

Matt Moore is pitching a 2-hit shutout after 8 innings in Fenway. TB leading Boston 2-0.

[Mudville]

If only the Angels could go on a ten year span of being in the cellar of their division they could have a hell of a farm system with all of those low first round picks.

 

Oh wait, they did that from 1987-1996.

Has CNN reverted to just being a blog?

[Angel Oracle]

Can't use the high draft picks argument anymore, because they have been a solid team for the past 6 years.

Oh, and Hickey >>>>>>> Butcher.
