4th place...............again.

[Ohtaniland]

While our NL neighbors up the 5 freeway just took over 1st place. It's starting to look like the Dodgers plan for recovery from the McCourts ordeal is working out a lot better than Dipoto's plan. Then there's the Mariners hanging around us with Kendrys Morales having better numbers than Pujols. It's been a horrible season for our failos.

It's a flawed comparison, because the Dodgers are playing in the worst division in baseball. 

[Angel Oracle]

Seattle has solid production in spots 1-6 in the lineup.

Smoak is hitting again, and Miller and Franklin have been solid up the middle.

And they are as good as anyone in rotation spots 1-2.

Like us though, they can't find any consistency beyond spots 1-2.

[Troll Daddy]

Maybe but the Dodgers are a better team than the Angels right now.

Blanton over Saunders lol what was Dipoto thinking?

Blanton over Saunders lol what was Dipoto thinking?

 

Away from pitcher-friendly Safeco, Saunders has pretty much been Blanton:

 

Road numbers:  5.26 ERA, 87 H in 65 IP, a 1.662 WHIP.

Dodgers gotta be the favorites to come out of the NL and they're the hottest team in the league the past month, Tampa is the other

We're playing second fiddle again....

There's nothing flawed about having your star players produce when it matters. They've put it all together with solid hitting and pitching.

[Mudville]

The Angels are going to draft higher than the Dodgers. This season is a complete failure in terms of getting to the playoffs but it's all how you look at the big picture.

[Angel Oracle]

If Jim Healy was still alive, and Houston wasn't in the division, he'd play
"I'm out of the cellar again.", like he did in the early 1990s. 

[Ray McKigney]

At least we're not in last.

[Mark68]

At least we're not in last.

Thank you Bud Selig.

 

Probably the first and only time I'll say that.

[Homebrewer]

At least we're not in last yet.

fixed

[Angel Oracle]

Houston is flat out.....bad.

[Ohtaniland]

Houston is flat out.....bad.

Without Trout, we are Houston. This years Angel team is a lot worse than last years team. We had 22 blown saves last season so we were competing. Hamilton is less productive than Hunter and Pujols is less productive than Morales.

nah al central and nl east are worse

The Dodgers are four games over .500. No other division leader in baseball is less than nine games over. The Rockies are four games under .500 and are four games off the division lead.

[EDinTUSTIN]

Houston is flat out.....bad.

Yet our Angels have a so-so record against them

[Ohtaniland]

We now trail Seattle by 1.5 games.

[Hoops McCann]

 

Light the Failo?

[Bashbrothers]

Angels would win the NL West if they played in that division.

[Glen]

We now trail Seattle by 1.5 games.

 

 

Thanks for reminding me why I haven't looked at the standings in a while.

[YouthofToday]

At least we have a kick-ass farm system that help our pursuit of a World Series berth in the next few years!
