Do angels finally have red sox number? with 6 straight over them?

Question

will angels wind up in fall classic! good chance, because it looks like they now get home field advantage over anyone!

Answer 1

It's not the laundry, meaning the uniforms of the teams, it's the Angel pitching.  Weaver was better than Dice K.  Two weeks ago, Lackey, Saunders and Santana were better than the Red Sox pitching (and fielding and lack of timely hitting).  Even Darren Oliver, who was a fright for the Red Sox in 2002, came up big out of the Angel bullpen.  So there is no secret magic sauce.  There is better starting pitching.

Last year in the ALDS, Beckett and Schilling were better than Lackey and Weaver and neither Escobar nor Dice K figured in the decision in the second game.  Frankie still hasn't learned his lesson against Manny though.

Answer 2

Just wait. This is a good mental edge builder but lets wait until the playoffs.

1.Its a new (playoff) season. The playoffs is where they have trouble.

2.They may not even play them.

3.Besides the mental edge and boost in confidence its still only a stuble block until the playoffs.

4.Red Sox may get hotter. And the Angels bats could get cold and vice versa.

Answer 3

The Angels are the best team in baseball.

Answer 4

It seems that way but I don't think so...with 9 straight post-season wins over the Angels do the Red Sox have their number when it counts? Anything can happen in the post-season so I wouldn't start counting chickens...I will say the Angels look very good and right now have to be the favorite in the A.L. to go to the World Series but things can change...and with two months left in the season home field advantage is far from wrapped up.

Answer 5

Yes, but they have the number on everybody right now. And they can beat anybody on the road or at home. They will probably win the World Series.

Answer 6

Once you hit the postseason though, everything goes out the window. It's a brand new ballgame. You can't expect anything in the postseason... it's too unpredictable... all-stars choke and rookies shine... impossible to say who makes it to the WS

Answer 7

Easily. And I'm ashamed to admit it, but they also have the Yankees' number. And they've had it for years. The only club that had a winning record against Torre's Yankees.

Answer 8

alot of people have been saying they are favorites this year with all the moves they pulled out. lets wait till this weekend to see if they can beat the yankees
