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!

Right Where We Want Them

I’ve decided that it’s a good thing that the Angels lost game one. Why?

If you look back, in the Scioscia-Era, in every playoff series we won, we lost game one.

In the two playoff series we lost, we actually won game one!

So if history prevails, we’re right on track! At least that’s how I’m viewing it. We’re going to beat the Red Sox, even if that have freakin’ Josh Beckett!
