Monday, June 27, 2005Angels destroy RangersThe Angels won 13-3 tonight, on the strength of Bartolo Colon's 10th straight win against the Rangers and the extension of Vlad's hitting streak against the Rangers to 28 games. Of course, everyone else dominated as well. They probably could have had a few more runs, except that they grounded into 3 different double plays...all coming in run scoring innings. The Angels now have the longest winning streak in the majors (Red Sox lost tonight). When the Red Sox streak hit 7 games yesterday, it was all ESPN.com could talk about...of course, the Angels have a better record and now a longer winning streak (not to mention that they have increased their division lead by 6 games in just 9 days) and there is no mention of it on ESPN.com's front page (not even the sidebar headlines, where they mention the Red Sox, the Yankees, and the Braves (East Coast Bias? NOOOO). Of course, this benefits the Angels, because they can stay under the radar and have little pressure and continue to win.
In other news, I find it really bizarre the OC missed the entire Texas series last week with an inflamed elbow, came back for the Dodgers series, and is missing what looks to be this entire Texas series. I don't mean to disparage OC (everyone else already does enough of that), but it certainly is a strange and interesting coincidence. Comments:I guess none of the editors were up when the game ended last night and the decision to feature someone other than the Yankees or Red Sox could not be made by the night update people. |
