Oh, and how many titles do the Angles have???

Who are the Angles? They don't sound like a series contender. :-)

Does anyone know what the Angels payroll is compared to the Yanks? That would be a funny stat!

To answer you question: My local rag this morning had the salaries listed at $171 Million for the losers, and $77 Million for my beloved Angels....How sweet it is...How can you lose when you have Clemens (who owns the Angels in his career), Mussina, Pettite (ok, he's overrated) and your #4 starter has 19 wins; your bullpen has a good, young ex-ace of the Tigers; you spend millions on platoon players, and buy everything you need???? HOW???? On the other hand, the Angels had heart, desire, and the ability to not care who gets the credit. They played a TEAM game. After starting out a club worst 6-14 through the first 20 games, they finished with a club record (by 6 games) 99 wins. Scoscia has worked some serious magic with this team. As much as I hate to say it, he's learned quite a bit from old Tommy Lasagna, er Lasorda when it comes to motivation. CONGRATS ANGELS...Its been a LOOOONG time....
