Well, I waited until today to add this post because I didn't want to jinx it. Was it something I said in my previous post--how the Angels were losers and I'd given up on them--that turned the team around? I doubt it, but I'll claim the motivational victory anyways. Yes, since I last posted, the Angels have won seven of eight games and are now the American League West Division champions. The last time the Angels won the division, I was in my first year of college, living in Stockton, California with my sister. My celebrations were muted that year, however, as the Angels, one strike away from going to their first World Series, blew the game and the series to the Red Sox (who went on to blow their own monumental chance to win a series to the NY Mets). I won't be worried about potential collapses this year, however. My team won the World Series in 2002 (as a wild card, not division winner), so this is all just gravy to me. Still, I'll be cheering along for as long as they are in it. Oh, and now I have Tivo, so can rewatch the good moments and skip the bad ones as often as I desire!
Go Angels!
Go Angels!
