#Angels at #Rangers: DH Shuck, SS Aybar, CF Trout, LF Hamilton, 2B Kendrick, RF Calhoun, 1B Trumbo, C Conger, 3B Romine, LHP Vargas.

 

This is the Angels Super Bowl. If the Angels somehow win and if Tampa Bay wins, the Rangers won't make the playoffs.

Let the offseason begin.  Bring on Hockey.

I actually like this lineup.

 

There have been about five days this season that I could say that.

 

 

[Bashbrothers]

Angels can end the Rangers season and that's awesome.

[jshep]

This would be a pretty good time for the Angels to finally beat the Rangers in Arlington.

In typical Ron Washington fashion, he's using AJ Pierzynski as DH instead of his better right-handed bat in what might be the most important game of the year.

[Jimmag]

In a season of disappointment I hope this final game is a winner.

Go Halos!

[The God of Runs]

If the Angels do not win today, they will surely lose

[AngelsFaninGA]

So if both the Rays and Rangers win, what happens? Is there a one-game playoff between them, or is there some sort of tiebreaker that decides who makes the playoffs?

One game playoff tomorrow, to see who faces the Indians in a one game playoff.  (If the Indians win)

 

No idea how it works if the Indians lose, and if the Rangers and Rays win.

Baker has not been good since returning from his hand injury

[gotbeer]

Nice job Ebar.  

[EDinTUSTIN]

I just want the Angels to win just for the sake of winning. I don't give two hoots about the postseason aspirations of the Rangers, Rays, Indians, Cards, Pirates, Dodgers, Red Sox...... The Angels won't be in postseason, so to me the rest is meaningless.

[gotbeer]

Trout with a no doubter.

[jshep]

TROUT!

[jshep]

Kole Calhoun seems to play the deepest RF imaginable at all times.

[CaliAngel]

The Rangers and annoying-ass-hell-Washington are going to grind this game out like a 5 hour BoSox game.

[gotbeer]

Nice inning by Vargas.  Let's go bats.

[gotbeer]

Yu hurt?  Wait for the meatball Trumbo, he can't find the zone.

[jshep]

oh trumbo

[gotbeer]

Dang Trumbo, you don't need to swing hard.  Just make contact and it leaves the park.

[CaliAngel]

Is gameday not working for anyone else?

[jshep]

One game playoff tomorrow, to see who faces the Indians in a one game playoff.  (If the Indians win)

 

No idea how it works if the Indians lose, and if the Rangers and Rays win.

 

There would be a tiebreaker on Monday between the Indians and Rays

 

The winner there would get a WC berth, and the loser would face the Rangers for the 2nd WC berth.

 

AND THEN those two teams would get to play the actual WC playoff game.

[CaliAngel]

Indians just scored on an error...3-0 Indians...

[jshep]

Wow, Ted Barrett got awfully aggressive with Aybar after that ball down the line, when Aybar was walking away.

 

Not cool for an ump to do, IMO.
