You’re absolutely right. Thanks

FYI – he is a native of Simi Valley, CA (my hometown), not Northridge. I went all through junior high and high school with his brother, Jeff.

Will Jered Weaver’s no-hitter help Angels turn things around? Only if they get to play the Twins every game from here on out.

It asinine to think this team will be mired in a season long slump. This is baseball. Anything can happen. They’ve only played 25 games. As bad as they’ve been, they’re only 7 games out. If the 2002 A’s can put together a 20 winning streak, the Angels can play .600 ball over the next 137 games. Please.

Playing the Twins 6 times in 2 weeks will certainly help. But three with Toronto who’s playing pretty good baseball right now, then 3 in Arlington against Texas–I think this stretch will define the Angels’ season, whether it goes North or South.

A pitcher who gives a team a chance to go 4-1 every five starts is pretty darn good.

Whatever it takes to get the team feeling like it can win.

But that’s how they’re going to win. The starter will go 7+ innings. Scott Downs will finish as needed.

This team needs to go 2005 White Sox to win, but they certainly can.

This may sound like crazy talk, but CJ Wilson has been pitching really well as of late (assisted by far-away fences at Anaheim), but anyone who has watched Wilson for any length of time knows that he’s due for a meltdown game soon. He’ll give you a few great outing and then lay a gigantic egg every 5th or 6th start.

The premise of this post is that Weaver’s no-no should be looked at in a vacuum, its own feat without consideration for outside circumstances. To do so assumes that Jerome Williams is nearly Weaver’s pitching equal. Do not make that mistake. If anything, it will be playing the Twins that will help the Angels turn it around.

Albert Pujols still wen 1-for-5 on the day and is still under the Mendoza Line. I’m sure it helps bullpen moral, but their relievers just aren’t any good and their biggest bat is still slumping. If the starters can’t pitch a least 7 innings every game, it’s gonna be hard to win close games.

The Angels have too good a team to be playing like this. But they better get started soon or it may be too late.

Short answer: No.
