Oh how I have to chime in!! I may live in Atlanta, where post season is a given, but I was born n raised in southern CA and the Angels are MY team!!
When they didn’t start doing the post All Star break slide I thought “Oh this is it! look out Yanks!” Since Day one of the season I’ve predicted them to take the Division. We will!!
I don’t want to settle for a wild card slot, but will the Angels in the post season any way we can get there! I wanna see the Yanks go down … and Anaheim can do it!
We now have an answer to the question.

EJsGirl, but since there are now three divisions, how do you propose the postseason go if there’s no wild card? There has to be a wild card now.
And the Angels are it. 
Add up all the years the Athletics won their division and the sum is 23,807.
Let’s see, I’ll search for a meaning for that sum…

I give up I guess there’s no prophetic meaning to the number 23,807
Wait a sec, that could very well be the year the Boston Red Sox finally win their first World Champion since 1918!
