Angels

Once again, the Yanks shred the Angels. Dont let the final tally confound you, it was an asskicking. The Angels hitting will come around, Im sure. Brandon Wood sucks but the rest of them are fine. The pitching is becoming a problem. The pen was mediocre to begin with, gone are the dominant days of Scot Shields and Frankie Rodriguez. The loss of John Lackey looms larger every single day, due to the continued ineffectiveness of Ervin Santana. Also worth noting are :

a: Joe Saunders sucks and always has, his record neevr indicates his true value, and eventually, maybe now, it will come back to Earth.
b: Matt Palmer sucks, obviously, though he is probably just a space filler for Scott Kazmir who also kinda sucks, but is less sucky then Palmer and Saunders by far.
c: Jered Weaver is good, but if he is your ace, you better have some insanely deep staff. The Angels do not have an insanely deep staff. They have a solid 1-5, nothing near All-Star caliber though.
d: Losing Chone Figgins will hurt just as much on defense as on offense. He is a glue guy, an OBP guy, a gold glover, a base stealer, and an igniter. He hits from both sides, takes pitches, and does every single thing a winning team needs. He is replaced by yet another highly-touted (and most likely future flameout like the rest) Angels minor leaguer.

Wood better pick it up fast, especially in the field, or this team will be 7 games back by the end of the month. Oaklands pitching and pen are fantastic, as are Texas', so its going to be a race all year.


Seattle sucks. A blind retard knows this.
