  4. First time this team has been competing in August since 2015. What a time to be an Angel fan.

  5. Somebody pointed out that the Angels have been better than the Tigers for most of the season. Turned out to be pretty prescient.

  6. The “waaaa Perry said meaningful games waaaa” crybabies were conveniently busy today. Predictable as an aaronjaiden reply to this.

  7. Hell yeah. I’ll take any win and this was a good one. Glad we got the W for Kikuchi.

  14. Couple of competitive games against a first place team. Wish they would have won the first one after they tee’d off a young cy young pitcher. This team is better than their record.
