The Angels were a mediocre team that got hot at the right time. I'll stick by my statement. The whole team overachieved and played with a golden horseshoe up their azz all last year. Otherwise how can anyone explain that with mostly the same roster the Angels were 8 games under .500 this year?
I know why, they forgot their horseshoe.....
Anyway, the point I was making was that the Angels have been a pathetic organization that has known nothing but futility until last season. The fact that they won last year is just as surprising as the Cubs' success this year.
