Default by the way...

since the retard moreno changed the name to los angeles angels of orange countys anaheim even tho anaheim is 40 miles from la, the angels have had one ump call pierzynski out then say he didnt in 2005, miss the playoffs in 06, get swept in 07, then be in perfect position to take control of the series this year and have a failed squeeze play where the ump may have blown the call... in that time they have won the west 3 of 4 years and won exactly 4 playoff games and are 1-6 against the red sox in the playoffs. im just throwing it out there, but if it comes true the 'la of oc anaheim 40 miles outside of la' curse... or maybe its the moreno curse, cuz they got swept by boston in the playoffs the year before he changed the name.

and the angels were overrated this year because they were 15 games over
.500 against a terrible western division. yes, they played the east well, but their success was largely due to the starting pitching, but every single starter had an era higher in the second half, and 4 of 5 had eras close to a full point higher in the second half. they got scouted and they didnt adjust like good teams (red sox) do to win games. basically, they got complacent like they did all season in the terrible west. besides that, you have 3 players on the field who dont produce runs and catchers who flirted with the mendoza line most of the season (yes napoli finished at .270 but he was hitting .220 on sept 16th) basically, they just werent that good.
