The Halos Are Riding up and down Interstate 5 on a TNT Hunting Machine

What do you get when you combine "The Machine", Trumbo, Trout "TNT", and Hunter? You get a TNT hunting machine. That's what I would call the awakening of the Angels' offense. The Halos have been riding high on the combination of these players the Angels continued their dominance of interleague play by using this combined machine to hunt down the Los Angeles Dodgers yesterday, 3-2 pulling ahead because of smart baserunning by Mike Trout and a key hit courtesy of Albert Pujols. As a result the Angels are now only 2 1/2 games behind the Texas Rangers for first place in the American League West.

The aforementioned players have been key to the Angels' success Mike Trout was involved in every aspect of the Angels' ability to score yesterday whether it was his ability to drive in runs or whether he himself was on the base paths. He is an impact player on this team, add to that the combination of both the top and the middle of this lineup; and one has an unstoppable offensive combination when they are clicking on all cylinders.

The Dodgers had no answer for "Ernasty" who shut down the "Big Blue wrecking crew" in the bottom of the ninth inning to earn his fifth save as a member of the Angels. I absolutely love the Freeway Series and interleague play. I especially am enjoying it this year since this is the last year of true interleague play. When thinking of TNT (Trumbo and Trout) I can't help but think of the line from "TNT" by one of my favorite bands AC/DC; "TNT I'm (the Angels are) a power load watch me (them) explode!"
