The LA Angels at Your Texas Rangers 9/26 - 9/29

Ranger dude you're right we are probably barely a over 500 team when we don't play the Astros. 70-69 says everything about this team iMo

Well that's all good but I think it's a little skewed as well. Lets not forget that this team has been successful this season against Boston, Detroit, and Tampa. Likewise they were successful against the likes of the NYY, Baltimore, the Reds, and yes even the A's not to mention sweeping a series in St Louis this year as well. So it's a bit disingenuous to say that they are only successful because the ply the Astros 19 times.

The reality is that this team is talented but very shallow this year and poorly managed to boot. They were able to sustain through a few injuries and a suspension for a bit but there just isn't enough depth to maintain consistency when you are starting two to three triple A players every night in the height of a pennant race in September. Mix in the need for an outstanding manager capable of stealing a game or two through their tactical decisions that clearly Wash is not and there you go. That's reality so yes, thank you Astros but lets not get too carried away either.

Robinson Cano at age 30 wants a ten year $305M contract this offseason. Hey Angels, you guys listening? Keep paying Trout 1/2 a million a year and sign Cano, that should work for you.
