Major League Baseball’s American League Western Division teams each have only three other teams to contend with in their annual hunt for playoff gold. Some teams have all the luck.

Anaheim Baseball

Anaheim Baseball tells it like it is. The Angels are a baseball team from Anaheim, not really Los Angeles. They are different cities aren’t they? They shoot horses don’t they? Oh well. I know that it isn’t the fans’ fault. They are victims of baseball’s rampant commercialism. The players and the fans are what it is all about. If the owners seek to distance themselves from their true roots, then that is their right I, I reckon. It is pretty cool that they got that big fancy home run hitter from the Cardinals. I suppose he will start hitting some time during the season. In the meantime, if they can just keep throwing those no-hitters, they just may have a shot at the playoffs.
