It's a heck of a lot more fun to win than to lose, and taking 2 of 3 and blowing up the Houston Astros chances of making a Wild Card spot (now with an elimination number of only 4) is sweet icing on a rather stale cake.
This success, though, has its own bittersweet after-taste. The Angels are currently about 4 games away from dropping out of the Top Ten picks in next year's entry draft. They have only 69 wins and sit in 8th place. The two teams below are at 70 wins. And there at 11th place is Colorado with 73 wins.
