Angels Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 A Dodgers vs. Angels world series ? could be one of the best series in the last 10 years ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 And no Red Sox or Yankees to trip them up. Hard to believe they haven't made the playoffs since 2009. Yeah, right? It's kind of nice.Obviously still the division to collect in a few days, but this season has been pretty good. Mike Trout's first playoff berth, first team to clinch a playoff spot, best record in baseball, 10 game division lead, it's just all great.I said at the beginning of the season if they could all stay healthy and fix the bullpen somewhere, this Angels team would be good. Now they did lose Richards and lost Hamilton for a spell here and there, but they've stayed mostly healthy and the bullpen is a solid unit. And when I said they had the potential to be good, I was looking at one of the Wild Cards. But with Texas face planting, Oakland's collapse, and this team rallying together and putting together this impressive August/September run, the Angels sit clear on top of everybody. EVERYBODY.I'm going to enjoy the rest of this month for all that it's worth, but now the stakes have changed from "gee it'd be nice to get a Wild Card" to, pardon my crownking here, "World Series or bust." I'm excited to be back in the playoffs. I'm excited to win the division. I'm excited to see what Mike Trout does when the big lights come on. Postseason, here we come.Go Halos. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Yankees get the second wild card, and beat Detroit, Kansas City, or Oakland, and upset the Angels in the ALDS, it would be one of the greatest postseasons of the highest order.

leopard88 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I, for one, would welcome a Yankees-Orioles matchup in the ALCS, given the fact that the Orioles are currently 11-4 against the Evil Empire this year..Buck, Yeah!Oh, yeah . . . the first half of that matchup isn't happening.

Fans get angry. You hear reports of potential firings and trades. You hear about them all week on the local media. Anything can happen with the second wild card.

You are a moron and dont have a clue about what would need to happen for them to get into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything can happen with the second wild card.Not even Captain Gift Basket's intangibles will be enough to get the Yankees into the postseason. These aren't the 1996-2000 Yankees. They aren't the 2009 Yankees. They are a mediocre team that can't score runs. And even if they were a good team, the hole they're in would be too big to crawl out of. If the Royals lose every game left, the Yankees would have to win 6 of their last 13 just to tie them (and they'd need Seattle and Toronto to suck almost as much). I'm not sure if they can even do that.Oh, and one of the few players actually playing well for them lately, Martin Prado, is now out for the season with an appendectomy.And New York is a terrific place to be when the Yankees don't win.
