Posted September 4, 2008 at 2:21 pmThe Los Angeles Angels showed the Detroit Tigers what playoff teams look like. Torii Hunter homered to back Ervin Santana, and the Angels beat the Tigers 7-1 Thursday to cut their magic number to six for clinching their fourth AL West title in five seasons….

Posted August 29, 2008 at 4:09 amRangers manager Ron Washington has come to the realization that his club isn’t going to catch the Los Angeles Angels in the AL West. That might go for the rest of the American League pretty soon, too. Pinch-hitter Juan Rivera’s three-run double keyed a five-…

Posted August 26, 2008 at 12:07 amFrom security guards to clubhouse staff to press-box regulars, all over Angel Stadium, there was the same sentiment: It’s strange to see the A’s and Angels play a series that means so little. The last time Oakland played the AL West leaders, just before the…

Posted August 21, 2008 at 10:07 pmWell the A’s Smith was better than the Mariners Smith tonight, even though Rowand-Smith has that extra name thrown in. Greg Smith didn’t nibble as much tonight. Or maybe he did, but he wasn’t facing a lineup that you can call “patient” or even “good”. It was the matchup of bottom dwelling AL West teams and even though I’d love for the A’s to move …

Posted August 13, 2008 at 11:45 pmThe Los Angeles Angels’ gigantic lead in the AL West has left them with considerable room for error. They used some of it Wednesday night, when Francisco Rodriguez blew a three-run lead in the ninth inning and wasted Mark Teixeira’s first multihomer game for…

Posted August 6, 2008 at 5:41 pmThe pounding that the Los Angeles Angels inflicted on Garrett Olson only amplified the kind of airtight pitching fellow lefty Chris Waters gave Baltimore less than 24 hours earlier against the AL West leaders. Vladimir Guerrero homered and drove in four runs,…

Posted August 6, 2008 at 1:02 pmWell, maybe it is. At least right now. But I never really thought the A’s were going to compete for the AL West in 2008. I thought this was a team that Billy Beane was building for the future while hoping it wouldn’t be a complete failure on the field this season. A lot things happened to make the team worse than most thought, …

Posted July 30, 2008 at 12:04 pmSo, it’s come to this: The A’s try to avoid the sweep today at the hands of the Royals. Yes, those Royals. Elsewhere in the AL West, the Angels are embarrassing Boston at Fenway (just in time for our visit this weekend) and Texas is scoring runs like they’re going out of style. (Oakland is beautiful, Josh! Come play here!) I’d ask for over/under on …
