9-14 we've been there before

[Ohtaniland]

Years that we started 9-14

1961 70-91

1969 71-91

1972 75-80

1977 74-88

1994 47-68 MLB Strike Season

2001 75-87

2002 99-63 Championship

See we still have hope.

We're 1 game ahead of where we were this time last season, so maybe we can manage to come 1 game closer to the playoffs before ultimately falling short.

[Bashbrothers]

I don't think the Angels will be in the playoffs again.  One team short again, third team of the two wild cards.

Nothing like focusing on one game at a time.

We need a bullpen that's the only way we make the playoffs. The offseason we lost two guys Issy and Hawkins and we added one active guy.HJLWVOJKLHRBVJKLAHVBAQJKLHBVA going cheap on pitching. If you think this is Mike's fault, you don't care about pitching.

well, its not like the offense has exactly been doing its part either.

So...what you're saying is that we have a 14.3% chance of being .500 or better.

 

And that we have a 71.4% chance of being .500+ NEXT year (1962 86-76, 1970 86-76, 1973 79-83, 1978 87-75, 1995 78-67, 2002 99-63, 2003 77-85).

 

Doesn't bode well for THIS year...but I guess that means 2014 World Series Champs?

[Angelsjunky]

I for one am sick of next year. It has been "next year" for the last three. Maybe I'm spoiled given the 2002-09 era, but this team isn't built to win "next year."

[Ohtaniland]

No worries, we will make the post-season. The MLB tournament committee will pick us. If not, the NIT is a lock.
