Welcome to October

'sniff'

Smell that? That’s called baseball, and the air is thick with playoff anticipation. The Los Angeles Anaheim Angels are back in the hunt after winning the American League Western Division title and clinching a playoff berth much earlier than other teams. I think this will be a real key to their success, as they’ve had plenty of time to get their pitchers rested and the rotation set while other teams like the Yankees, Red Sox and White Sox went down to the wire to secure their playoff hopes.

Red, white and blue!

Proving yet again why everyone hates the Yankees, their players and coaches have already started whining. I guess it’s a good sign that your opponent is focused on things like this when they should probably be focused on how to beat the Angels.

I don’t have tickets this year, because I work an early shift and wouldn’t have been able to see the majority of games. But, I can say that Angel Stadium will be electric tonight. I’d hate to be in the Yankees shoes, although Boston proved last year that the Angels can be beaten even with home field advantage. Still, the Angels seem to have had the Yankees number over the past few seasons, even in Yankee Stadium.

It’s going to be a great week! Enjoy!
