Tonight was do or die for the Halos. If they lost, it wasn’t like they were mathematically eliminated from getting a wild card spot, but with the Twins winning and the Rangers now right there in the mix with our guys, there was something in the air among Angels fans today...a menacing, foreboding sense that tonight, in Houston with Justin Verlander on the mound, would tell us whether or not this team was going to make it to the promised land.
This game would then play out just as one would expect: Verlander and Halos hurler Garrett Richards were duking it out, stymieing the opposition’s bats and providing fans back home with all the anxiety they can handle on a Friday evening in late September.
