I know the AL East is the official division of ESPN

But I’m going to go ahead and say that Joe Morgan will, at some point tonight, use the Halos’ sometimes merciless inability to score runs as evidence that they play with “heart” and “play the game the right way.”

Let's play follow the logic

a) The Angels don’t have a lineup full of buffed up mashers like ESPN thinks they should.
b) Scioscia doesn’t manage the way ESPN thinks they should.
c) The Angels have the best record in baseball

therefore, clearly, the Angels are lucky.

I don't think the A's are getting enough credit

for addition by subtraction. Blanton is not a good pitcher. Harden is, but they got a pretty sweet package for him.

Yet now they are losing.

I wonder if the perception that the FO has given up on the season is affecting them mentally.

Morgan just said that it's dangerous to go 3-1 on Manny because then you have to go inside on him

Then said that he threw it up to him and he put it in the gap.
