Angels in the Outfield!


A turbulent October has brought the Angels reign of power, to a cruel and painful end! Did we loose because the Red Sox were just a better team? I don't think so! Was it because we lost our mental game long before Shields threw his final pitch? Maybe! Sometimes, being so far ahead ads more pressure. It's a given that the farther ahead of the league you are, the more you are expected to win. So this brings me to the conclusion that bringing excellent talent to the Angels is not enough. We need to make sure that they have the mental game under their belt next year. With that in mind, I wrote this little poem.


The Angels are my favorite team
I'm a true and devoted fan!
And though the series was my dream
I'll just have to wait again

I cheered them on through every win
As our team became the best!
With the winning streak that they were in
Way out in front of the rest

It was hard to believe their streak would end
With Vladdy, Teixeira, and Tori
We all thought they would take each win
There was no cause for worry

But alas, the Red Sox killed our dream
I'm completely and totally stunned
Considering what I spent for every game
I think you owe me a big fat refund!!!

Your devoted fan!!!
