The Showdown in Oaktown

Post date: May 30, 2014 11:45:01 PM

Everything is back to normal. The two remaining founding members of the American League West are number one and number two in the standings respectively. The Angels and the Oakland Athletics renew their rivalry tonight. The way it should be, Stomper and The Rally Monkey spar again.

The Angels come into the series smoking hot, they won five out of the six series and earned a split in the last series against the Seattle Mariners. They have a record of 14-6 over the last 20 games. The Halos are 1 1/2 games behind Oakland, and if all goes well they may be in first place in the American League West by the end of the weekend, to quote Phil Collins “I can feel it coming in the air tonight.”

Once again the rivalry between these two teams has a playoff feel. The division race appears at this point to be a two horse race between the Angels and the Athletics although it’s early in the season, the division games are crucial to the success of both teams. Yes, all is normal again. Fans from both sides really enjoy this civil war between California’s two American League franchises. What side are you on? Obviously, one doesn’t need to ask me. Go Angels!
