Jose Arredondo grabbed the maintenance hose and started spraying his teammates and the fans that stayed hours after the game to wait for the clinch. And clinch we did…
- First Team to clinch the playoffs this year!
- Earliest clinching of the division title in franchise history!
- Fifth-fastest team in Major League history!
In a weak AL West, we’ve had a comfortable lead for quite a while, but Mike Scioscia and the Angels aren’t/haven’t let up! “Stay Humble” has been the theme for the end of this season so we don’t get overconfident. The example last year of the streaking Rockies shows how important it is to go into the playoffs hot, so I’m very glad that Scioscia is doing this.
Go Halos!
A Few of Highs Points of the Season for Me
Go Rockies!

We got swept! Stupid! Ridiculous!
Why didn’t we play for home field advantage? We had best record and let it slip away.
Momentum is way more important than resting players and setting rotation. Look at the Rockies! They rattled off 11 wins in a row and won something like 14 of 15 to end the season, and now look at what they are doing to the Phillies! Beth’s family is from Colorado so…
Go ROCKIES!
Let the Playoffs Begin!!!

I’m sitting here watching the Padres playing the Rockies in their one-game playoff to see who get the NL Wild Card. It’s the bottom of the eleventh and they’re tied 6-6! That just shows you what kind of race its been to get to the playoffs. This season was full of drama!
A couple of my playoff hopes came through…
- The combined rise of the Phillies and the fall of the Mets…Go Phillies!
- The back and forth between the Cubs and Brewers…Go Cubs!
A couple of hopes that were dashed…
- The Yankees charging all the way back from last place to make the playoffs, but since there were going to make it…
- The Yankees not overtaking the Red Sox and the Mariners not staying close enough to take the AL Wild Card and thereby leaving the Sox out!
A couple of things I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted…
- The Wild, Wild NL West…the D-Backs, the Padres and the freakin’ Rockies?!
And then of course…
- The Mariners run to within 1 of first and their complete meltdown…
And then finally and most of all…
- Go Angels!
