Wasted Opportunity
The Angels are blowing the AL West race. While the Atheltics are letting the Rangers back in the division hunt, the Angels are not taking adavantage of a .379 team to gain ground. Last night they were shutout by a pitcher with a 5+ ERA, who doesn't strikeout many batters and had allowed 31 HR! When the other two teams you need to defeat are battling each other, you have to earn the easy victories. Of course, I thought they were done a couple of weeks ago. But that included the Rangers, too.
