Red Brooms, Red Birds, and Cincinnati Reds

Post date: Jun 27, 2019 11:38:39 PM

For those that don't know, red is my favorite color independent from the Angels, to me it represents the color of passion, dedication, focus, and love. Red is very versatile, it makes its presence known, it can't be ignored, and can't be overlooked.

Over the last couple of series, the color red is very meaningful for the Halos. The red of this Saint Louis Cardinals who showed their red particularly to Albert Pujols their love for Albert was evident in three-game series in Saint Louis, as an Angels' fan, I appreciate passionate fans such as Redbird fans.

The Angels also are metaphorically seeing red as in having to play seven games in two of the last remaining stadiums with artificial turf, Tampa Bay, (St. Petersburg) and Toronto, Ontario Canada home of the Tampa Bay Rays and the Toronto Blue Jays respectively; and last but certainly not least red brooms as in the sweep of both the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds.

I postulated in my previous entry that the Angels have time to turn things around and that it had to start with a statement to the best team in baseball record wise, the Los Angeles Dodgers; indeed they did. The Halos went on to win their next seven of nine games, they went on the three-game losing streak and then swept the Cincinnati Reds. As of right now, officially halfway through the season through 81 games the Angels sit 41-40, although the situation is not ideal, considering all the injuries they continue to deal with this year they are still well within striking distance of the American League wildcard.

They start a four-game series today with their chief American League rival, the Oakland Athletics, the Angels must unequivocally improve their record within the division to make this season is successful one. They must become metaphorically speaking red-hot, in order to tinge the playoffs with Angels' red.

Red, an unequivocally beautiful color, representing passion, focus, and love. The Angels must have the passion and focus to improve this season, and love for the game to be successful.
