So after this bold, and perhaps slightly arrogant, statement it looks like I'm not even going to make the postseason as a wildcard this week. 82-61, 6 1/2 games back in the division, in 3rd place, and 3 games out of the wildcard, with a fairly tough run home. Pythag says we should be 89-54 but all that is good for is massaging the ego.
Peak Gossage just blew his 6th save of the season and picked up his 7th loss. Not that the late-innings meltdowns are all on his back. His FIP is more than 2 runs lower than his ERA, so our defense has been letting him way, way down.
On the plus side, I finished the Angels' missions yesterday. Chuck Finley is barely a bullpen option, but Tim Salmon will be on the active roster next season. I'm thinking I might trade down defensively a bit to fit him in. SE Rickey Henderson to the reserve roster, live Trout back to CF, Salmon to DH vs RHP and LF vs LHP.
