My Rangers donโ€™t have pitching, but you guys got [nothing](http://espn.go.com/mlb/heaters/ana.html). ๐Ÿ˜› \*\* Ahem, Angels were 2 games over .500, Texas was **20 games under in 4th place**!๐Ÿ˜ƒ **Deb2world** ,e-mail coming. ---

Plus the fact that the Angels were predicted to be last and then went on to compete for the wild card spotโ€ฆwell, that doesnโ€™t give me too much faith in [espn.com](http://espn.com) right now. Weโ€™ll see who has the better record come October ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Already sent you an e-mail **deb** ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by spooje \* > Texas was **20 games under in 4th place**!๐Ÿ˜ƒ All part of Tom Hicksโ€™ secret plan for World Series domination. Step 1: Dump salary. Step 2: Lull Angels fans into ludicrous sense of mediocrity. Step 3: Hire A-Rod, teach him to pitch. Step 4: Piss off Steinbrenner so much he goes out and does something stupid like trading for Gary Sheffield. Getting scared yet? ๐Ÿ˜‰ ---

Not yet. With regard to part 4 of Hicksโ€™ planโ€ฆif a winning Texas team is the price to pay for the downfall of the Yankess, then that is a price I am willing to pay. How I hate them. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ---

Since Satan isnโ€™t around, Iโ€™ll be the voice of the Yankees here. The Yankees will win again this year. Nick Johnson is right around the corner, Mike Mussina is, well, Mike Mussina(Nuff said). Who did they lose? David Cone? David 4-14 Cone? BWAH HAH HAH HAH. Can you say 4 out of 5? Come October youโ€™ll not only be able to say it, youโ€™ll know it as well as your own name. Yankees forever! ---

Atlantaโ€™s starting rotation: Maddux, Glavine, Millwoodโ€ฆdidnโ€™t get them a World Series without any offense. Sadly, the Yankees havenโ€™t been declining steadily in that area. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gary-sheffield-can-kiss-my-ass/55220.md?page=1)
