Ahem, Angels were 2 games over .500, Texas was 20 games under in 4th place!
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 spot…well, that doesn’t give me too much faith in espn.com right now.
We’ll see who has the better record come October
Already sent you an e-mail deb
All part of Tom Hicks’ 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? 
Not yet.
With regard to part 4 of Hicks’ plan…if 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.
Common ground! Okay, Neurotik, maybe you Angels fans aren’t so bad after all.
I second that emotion. I want a Southern California team in the playoffs, but I’ll root for anybody who whoops the Yanks!
Since Satan isn’t around, I’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 you’ll not only be able to say it, you’ll know it as well as your own name. Yankees forever!
You’re going down, big boy!!!
Only if my SO asks nicely
Yankees starting rotation: Clemens, Petitte, El Duque, Mussina, (Gooden/Mendoza/El Duquecito/El Sid)
I’m glad the Yanks can serve as a force uniting baseball fans everywhere!
Atlanta’s starting rotation: Maddux, Glavine, Millwood…didn’t get them a World Series without any offense. Sadly, the Yankees haven’t been declining steadily in that area.
