HARK, THE ANGELS HAVE FLED
How bad is it this year for the 2002 World Champion Anaheim Angels (I choke as I type that)? Well, as Dave O'Brien of ESPN said tonight, if the Angels ran the table the rest of the way this year, they would be 98-64, one win short of their record of last year.
And that makes me happy. They were a fluke team. Same bunch of guys this year as last year, except they're either hurt or playing like crap.
Also, they're still mentioning Garret Anderson's name in the same sentence as "MVP." Why? Where has his team gone? No one can convince me that Garret is more of an MVP than Ichiro or Bret Boone or Giambi.
