Just to clarify everything, I did not just become an Angel fan this year, last year or anytime recent. I have been an Angels fan for a pretty long time actually. I even know most of their Minor League squad, the Salt Lake Bees. I'm dedicated, watch every game that comes on and i get alerts and all that shit. Now any who, I hate the Red Sox and the Yankees more than any other teams. The Red Sox have had the Angels number in the playoffs. The Angels lost to them in the ALDS two straight years and held the lead of the game for a total of 7 innings in the whole series. WOW, 7 innings???? That is horrible, it was like they didn't show up. This year things changed, the Angels came ready. Thanks to DOMINANT pitching by John Lackey and Jared Weaver and the team actually getting hits and runs off Boston's two aces, Jon Lester and Josh Beckett, in the first two games led to a 2-0 series lead. (in the ALDS it is only a 5 game series, first to 3 wins is in) So, me being realistic, figured that since the next two games were in Boston, Fenway Park, which might be quite possibly the hardest place to play, I figured that a sweep would not be possible but i figured they would still pull it out in Game 4 or 5. Well, they proved me wrong. Vlad Guerrero, who happens to be my favorite player, sealed the deal with a game winning single with two outs in the 9th innings against Papelbon. 7-6 victory takes the Angels to the New York to play the Yankees on Friday. Angels i really believe have the better team, but it will be a tough 7 game series. Beating the Red Sox and Yankees in the same postseason will just make my year. I feel this is a team of destiny seriously. Nick Adenhart, started the third game of the season for the Angels, and was killed by a drunk driver after the game. This team is riding on emotions and wants to win it for Nick. I honestly think they are gonna do just that. Stay tuned.
game winner
its a celebration!!!!
