Angels Month of August 17-12 Record

Angels finish the month of August decisively with an impressive 10-0 win over the Mariners. With a 17-12 record for this month, the Halo's post 180 runs, 41 homers and an attendance of 519,142. We are just shy about 400,000 more for a cool 3Mil for the season with a little over a month left....wooohooo. The Angels go 6 games up in the AL West with their win tonight and a 18-10 Texas loss to Toronto. While the offense charges on with it's 24th game with 8 or more runs since June 12, Joe Saunders pitches a gem of a game. Saunders settles down and goes 7 innings, giving up 3 hits and striking out 4 after a shaky 1st inning. Joe shows that he is 100% and ready to bring it down the stretch for the fans of Anaheim. With the acquisition of Kazmir, the starting rotation should be extremely strong. Let's hope the offense can keep those bats rolling thunder through the month of September right on into the playoffs.

It is a good possibility, with Vladdy healthy and hitting the way he is, he could keep his streak alive and get that 25th homer this season. He has already hit 13 homers and only needs 12 more in the month of September to keep that impressive streak alive. Currently, he has hit 25 or more HR's in 11 consecutive seasons. Guerrero is some kind of mutant hitting machine. His second homer tonight, he put into the upper deck of Safeco Field and the pitch was at his ankles and hit one handed. Incredible strength and absolutely no strike zone make for an impossible opponent for a pitcher to face.

What more is there to say....Let's Go Angels.....right to the World Series. Who knows, maybe we'll meet those boys in blue up the road a ways. A Freeway Series? We own the Doyers anyway.....LIGHT UP THE HALO!------ Jonny Andres
