There may e a lot of baseball left, but there isn't THAT much baseball left.

Bullpen injuries, mediocrity in the rotation, Trumbo turning back into a pumpkin and Vernon Wells getting healthy have all put a damper on the good vibes this team had generated prior to the All-Star Break. But the holes are not going away, and it's probably too late for 2012.

Angels stadium has always been a bit of a pitchers park, but its heading towards Dodgers stadium or even Petco territory this year.

C'mon Albert, you were starting to make me look good!

it's probably too late for 2012.

Oh c'mon now, the Angels are all of 2 games out of a wild card and are tied for the best run differential among those contenders. They could be leading the wild card by the end of the week.

And the teams they have to beat are Oakland, Baltimore, and one of Detroit/Chicago/Tampa. They're not exactly stuck behind a group of powerhouses.

Perhaps it's a product of being a Jays fan, but I'd be super jazzed to be in the Angels' position right now.

Oakland just beat the Angels 2 of 3 and Tampa has arms that shut the Halos down. It's probably not too late for the 2nd wild card, but a team that adds Pujols, Trout, CJ Wilson and a healthy Kendrys Morales shouldn't be pinning their hopes on this new lotto ticket called WC2.

This team should have battled Texas for the division without TX injuries, and with their injuries, I'd have thought LAAoA could have been closer than 8 games.

Maybe I'm jaded, but this is a disappointing season, save Trout.

Well, yeah, but since it isn't preseason it's kind of pointless to say they shouldn't be pinning their hopes on the WC.
