The Angels Must Be As Hot As Fireworks in Order to Save Their Season

Today is the Independence Day of the United States, it is very fitting, because fireworks are often used to express this independence. The Angels must use today as a personification of an example of what they must become in order to save their season.

The Halos have fallen victim to the dirty dozen, they are 12 1/2 games behind the division leading Houston Astros in the American League West. After losing to the Seattle Mariners yesterday. The Angels must explode, just like the fireworks that will light up the sky today throughout the United States. Including today's game the Angels have 11 of their next 19 games against the division, with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox sandwiched in between. If the Halos are to have any postseason aspirations they must make their presence known in these next 19 games.

It's going to be quite a challenge however, the Angels have recently led Major League Baseball with the amount of players on the disabled list with 15; similar to recent years, the Angels endured more than their fair share of injuries.

My hope is that the can at least take 15 of the 19 upcoming games in order for them to have shimmer of hope of making the postseason. It has yet to be seen if they are able to do that. We will just have to wait and see.
