Sweep in Oakland
As if we needed anymore evidence that SoCal is better then NoCal, we get the Halos three-game sweep of the A's in Oakland. This season the rivalry has been extremely one-sided, as the Angels/Dodgers/Padres have dominated the Giants/Athletics 14 games to 5. That should knock those patronizing, pretentious, high-and-mighty bastards down a peg.
As for the game today, what more could you want? No Vlad, no GA, Figgins batting in the three-spot (WTF?), Ortiz on the mound, and we still get the win. That's got to be disheartening for A's fans.
Ortiz was dreadful- as usual- but did end up with the win as he went five innings while allowing just two runs. I've got to hand it to Ramon- he did battle today. He didn't wither after allowing runs, and he knuckled-down in the pressure situations, getting several big double-plays.
It's not all good news though: Ramon Ortiz gets a win. That's good. The win inspires Scioscia to give Ortiz another start. That's bad.
