AL West Update

With the Angels 15.5 games ahead in the AL West race, many fans are losing sight of teams they would ordinarily follow. Here is a quick update on our three shamefully pathetic division rivals:

TEXAS - Vicente Padilla and Warner Madrigal each surrendered 5 runs as the Tigers came back in Arlington and won 11-3 tonight, reducing the Angels Magic Number to 22.

OAKLAND - The big trade of Harden and Gaudin for Sean "Cy Young" Gallagher bit the Athletics in the A'ss tonight, as Young Mister Sean Ugly allowed 10 earned runs in 5 innings pitched to the Minnesota Twins.

SEATTLE - Oh yeah, keep twisting the numbers Mariner fans, your team is better than ours, ha ha ha. The team that ESPN nincompoop Steve Phillips picked to win the division STILL has fewer victories than Francisco Rodriguez has saves, losing to the White Sox today 5-0.

Gallagher's picture is almost as ugly as the one Gallagher that's famous for the watermelon smashing.

Thanks Rev, I needed that after watching Shieds’ implosion.

I stil maintain that he's the Son of Flounder

and still fat, drunk, and stupid …….. and going through life.

fat drunk and stupid

Why are you immortilizing this guy? I thought we hated him?

Oh, I’m sorry, maybe your skinny, sober, and smart.

(like me?)

Who can hate the immortal Flounder?

His offspring sure made the Halos look like they were fat, drunk, and stupid in his A’s pitching debut.

is that really all they could get for harden?

can we confirm that nobody offered something of use for a guy that Ks 10 fools per outing? i know he was hurt and all….but was billy beane just making a bad move so people will let him rip them off again in the future?

and let's not forget...

….this gem

ALL SEASON LONG IS RIGHT

IT IS A VERY LONG SEASON FOR THEM

Isn't the Magic Number 25?

124 games played = 38 remaining
Add 1 to games remaining = 39
Subtract wins difference 76-62 = 24
Subtract wins diff from remain 39-24
Equals Magic Number = 25

MLB.com

shows it at 22

Here's the math

76 wins for Angels
65 Losses for TEX

163-(76+65) = 22

Oh, thanks...that's better!
I saw a guy in a Marinerrors hat t'day

I just started laughing.

problem is...

I’ve long since dismissed the divisional race. It doesn’t matter anymore.

Homefield advantage does. Losing 5 out of 6 has caused us to lose our handle on that race. Which now, is the only race that matters.
