Angels Sweep YanksWhat is it about the Yankees that brings out the best in the Angels? Missing the 3-4-5 meat of the order and they still win? Lackey’s gutty seventh inning performance was amazing, he IS the heart of this staff and I hope the Angels don’t lose him as a UFA. I always cringe when Figgy has to field a critical play (courtesy of flashbacks to the playoffs vs the Red Sox a few years ago) but he has stepped up big time as a steward of the Hot Corner. Props to Figgy. Speier’s performance was a nightmare, and why didn’t Scioscia go to Oliver to start the 8th? Oh well, the shaky bullpen kept it together long enough to get to Fuentes in the 9th. A good way to end the first half of the season, and for the first time in a long time there might actually be a race in the AL West with the Rangers AND the Mariners. As much as I would like to see the Angels win the AL West going away, I think a pennant race could keep the Halos fires stoked later into the season and keep them on the edge going into the playoffs. All for now, Go Halos!!
