that's right

the "best" reg season team never stands a change in the post season tourney
It's not that they don't stand a chance, it's just virtually the same chance as everyone else.  
.
You guys joke, but look what the Angels have done....in the easiest environment to just get into the playoffs, they've only done it once, in 2014 and got swept.
They've had 3 disastrous $100 million contracts.  They're a red-headed stepchild.  Just an utter lack of competence.  If they'd just get into the playoffs every few years in some capacity, yes, anything could happen.

Nothing like opening the season with back to back road series at Tampa and Houston to get fans thinking *maybe*

Got outscored 21-3 over the weekend at Tampa

I think you have a real good shot at winning the Houston series

The astros are not hitting and our pitching isnt all that great

On this date in 1973, Minnesota Twins legend Tony Oliva became the first DH to homer in a regular season American League game. After missing most of the 1972 season with a bad knee, Oliva had his career revitalized by the new DH rule.

I wound up going to the DBacks opener, too.  
For the first time, I got the worst, nose-bleed foul pole seats.....and the view was much better than I had anticipated!  Could still track the ball from there....very surprising.  

Good to see LA win.  Looks like Kershaw got rocked tonight, though.
