Angels 1, Rangers 6
I like Angels Stadium. It's the most under-rated ballpark in baseball, in my humble opinion. It's aesthetically pleasing, clean, comfortable, and there's really not a bad seat in the house. The food leaves something to be desired, but other then that it's a fine place for the game of baseball.
The Angels do not share my opinion. The Angels are 8-16 in their last 24 games at Angels Stadium. The friendly confines are quickly turning into a house of horrors. In our current situation home wins need to be a given. We can't afford to lose in Anaheim. I say bulldoze the place, before it's too late...
Today we saw the folly in building an offense around batting average alone. One measly run on 13 hits? That's hard to do. But it's not all that surprising when you take a glance at the boxscore and see only two extra-base hits (a double by Eckstein and a double by Salmon in garbage time) and a big, fat zero in the walk column. You can't always count on stringing them together. "Frenzy hitting" is not a skill, despite Rex Huddler's claims to the contrary.
