The Angels Must Take a "Giant" Steps and Continue in the Right Direction

Post date: Jun 18, 2012 7:16:13 PM

Let me begin by stating the obvious, the Angels are four games behind the Rangers and currently in first place in the American League West. Tonight, interleague play continues as we face the San Francisco Giants in a three-game series which is a rematch of the 2002 World Series. Yes, it's hard to believe but indeed it has been a decade since these two teams faced each other. I've been told by a reliable source that the Angels plan some sort of celebration commemorating the 10th anniversary of the World Series championship sometime this season.

What not my be so obvious is what is happening to the Angels are the team. The Halos continued their dominance of interleague play with a record of 8-4 this season with six more interleague games to go. The Angels are not playing poorly, the fact remains that Texas hasn't cooled off enough For the Angels to catch up. It's a long season, and the Rangers will cool off; it's just a matter of the Halos staying within striking distance in order to be with overtake the Rangers when that happens.

The Angels cut a nine game lead down to four, this is the divisional dogfight everyone was expecting between these two teams. The Angels must continue their dominance of interleague play with both the Giants and the Dodgers so by the end of interleague play hopefully at minimum we are only one or two games behind Texas if not tied for the division lead. The "Giant" step starts tonight and hopefully the combination is and Angels win and they Rangers loss.
