Yeah they are looking tough. I got a dilema tonight.. Born and riased Angel fan but the little kid we grew up playing catch with is starting AGAINST Weaver. I have to play both sides tonight. Looks like I have to make my way down to Huntington and pull up a chair. Beer me.

Damn we got so trashed Friday night. So sick. He's pumped.. gave a veteran press conference too. Pie hit for the cycle and he basically said yeah its my first win, but PIE hit for the cycle and they broke a bunch of club records.. he basically said PIE is the real star tonight.. the club had a big night. I am just glad to be a part of it. To say I am proud in an understatement.

buddy brown · Post by **buddy brown** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 11:09 am

He pitched very well. I could see that he was a little anxious probably knowing that his hometown was watching but he made his pitches and made vlad and a few others look bad. Once he fills out a bit I bet he gains a couple mph on the fastball. He's got the skills and more importantly the mindset to do well.

I'm stoked. One day this week my buddy is gettin me on the field before the cubs play the Pads in sd. his friend is the pads trainer. hope to meet aramis, dlee, and zambo

Mike come on now.. Do you need a reminder?

As we all know from hearing it roughly 9,000 times over the last 11 years, the Angels are the only team in Major League Baseball to have a winning record against the Yankees.

During this period of time, the Angels own a 60-54 (.524) record. If you include the two playoff match-ups, the record goes up to 66-57 (.537). Not exactly dominating, but a modest edge on a team that has otherwise not known defeat. I ran some numbers using baseball-reference.com, and retrosheet.org, and have compiled the meaningful stats of all 114 games between these teams since 1996. It wasn't easy,

*Note that none of the following stats include post-season play*

Total Runs Scored
Angels: 553
Yankees: 577

10+ Run Games
Angels: 12
Yankees: 10

Blowout Wins (6 runs or more)
Angels: 10
Yankees: 13

Shutouts Thrown
Angels: 7
Yankees: 3

Average Runs/Game
Angels: 4.85
Yankees: 5.06

Extra Inning Wins
Angels: 7
Yankees: 7

1-Run Wins
Angels: 16
Yankees: 8

I think the most interesting stat here is the number of one-run wins for the Angels. Considering how heavily vaunted the Yankees bullpen (particularly Mariano Rivera) has been for a long time, it's definitely worthy of note that the Yankees have gone 8-16 in these one run contests. Of course, as any Angels fan knows well, the Angels' bullpen has been one of the most unheralded units in baseball, consistently protecting leads, or holding deficits to small margins until the Angels could come back.

And now some numbers, just on behalf of the Angels. From 1996-2007, the Angels have compiled the following stats:

All Non-Yankee Opponents:
Batting Average: .273
ERA: 4.36
Runs Scored/Game: 4.84
Runs Allowed/Game: 4.71
Hits/Game: 9.44

Against the Yankees
Batting Average: .274
ERA: 4.56
Runs Scored/Game: 4.85
Runs Allowed/Game: 5.06
Hits/Game: 9.61

So, for all of the Angels' success against the Yankees in the 11 years Joe Torre has managed them, there has been very little discrepancy between their numbers against the Yankees and their numbers against other opponents. Although the Yankees have outscored the Angels over this period of time, the evidence shows that the Yankees have an "all or nothing" tendency against the Angels; that is they have blown out the Angels on several occasions, but also have been prone to complete shut-downs of their offense. The Angels have had a marginal step-up in both hits per game (up 1.8%), but also in runs allowed per game (up 7.4%). This, of course, is to be expected: the Yankees have had some of the most potent offenses over the last decade or more, while having roughly average pitching during that same stretch (going back and forth between some seasons in which they were near the top of the league, and seasons where they were below average).

Playoffs

Of course, you can't have a conversation about the Angels and Yankees match-up over the last several years without mentioning the playoffs. The two teams have met twice (2002 and 2005) in the division series, with the Angels winning both times (the first 3 games to 1, the second 3 games to 2). In 2002, the Angels went on to win the World Series against the San Francisco Giants. In 2005, they lost to the Chicago White Sox (the eventual World Series Champions) in the American League Championship Series. For the sake of my blood-pressure, we won't go into why they lost that series.

The Numbers (9 total games, Angels lead series 6-3):

Total Runs
Angels: 56
Yankees 45

Runs/Game
Angels: 6.22
Yankees: 5.00

Batting Average
Angels: .323
Yankees: .266

Earned Run Average
Angels: 4.90
Yankees: 6.12

Hits/Game
Angels: 11.33
Yankees: 8.89

Well, as you can see, the two teams are pretty offense-oriented once playoff time comes around. Offensive numbers are way up across the board, and pitching numbers become rather high as a result.

That's a wrap for now on this Angels vs. Yankees entry. Seeing as it is one of the most talked about match-ups for Angels fans over the last decade, I hope you enjoyed the breakdown. It's certainly been a lively and exciting series to watch, and should continue to be so for years to come.

Small Ball: 1
Mashers: 0

The Yankees have spent 1,627,000,000. Since they won their last world championship. The Yankees are a joke, as much money as they spend on talent and havent won a championship since 2000? That's just sad. A bunch of over priced Primadonna's.

some guy · Post by **some guy** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 7:59 am

If we have a winning record against you guys.. (not even counting 2008.. we smoked you guys last year too, that wasnt in those stats.. I think it was 7-3 last year.)

But if you think we suck and we manhandle you guys.. that must mean the Yankees are garbage, which I must admit I agree with you on that one for a change.

some guy · Post by **some guy** » Wed Sep 16, 2009 7:54 am

Hey Stock let me remind you how playoff baseball works. The number one seed plays the wild card. The Angels are not the number seed. The Yankees are. You will have to make it past the Yankees to take on the Halos. If you want to talk baseball atleast know what you are talking about.

If the playoffs started today it would be Yankees vs Red Sox and Angels vs Tigers.

NL would be Dodgers vs Rockies and Cardinals vs Phillies.

Hope this helps.

Sorry you are the one who needs to learn ALL the baseball playoff rules.

Duh.

"The Division champion with the best overall regular-season record will have home-field advantage for the Division Series. That team will play the Wild Card in the first round unless the Wild Card comes from the same division."

Duh.

The Yankees and Red Sox can ONLY play each other in the ALCS not in the ALDS.

Duh.

The Sox WILL go to Anaheim and take on the Angels in the first round ALDS.

Duh.

Next time it would be helpful if YOU knew what YOU were talking about. (

Duh.

heres the deal, Major League Baseball is all about the American
League EAST. When the Yanks and BoSox meet, doesn't matter
what round they hook up. That series will and usually is
what it's all about. Seems to me, when their series is over it's
all over. Then time for the Packers.

Sorry JC, it ain't about them nasty angles.......MG

Heh.

Mike, I root for two teams in baseball the Red Sox and whomever is playing the lowly Yankees. Just like in football I root for the mighty Redskins and whomever is playing the lowly Cowgirls.

Being a Red Sox fan I hope you can understand that I'm now forced to hate you Mike (at least until the fall classic is over or the Yankees get eliminated). Do not talk to me until then !!!!!

some guy wrote:What a great game of baseball ruined by some horse **** calls. What a joke.

Its unfortunate that the umpires had such a role in the outcome of the game. But the Halos had the bases loaded twice late in the game, and failed to blow the game open. And the two defensive miscues from our middle infielders in the middle innings had a hand in it too. At critical times during baseball games, there is usually one play that determines the outcome. Last night there were 5. And the fact the Anaheim was three outs from a win was a testament to there ability to keep swinging and not go down without a fight. But you cant help but wonder how the team will react over the final two weeks of the season and into the post season. One more in Boston and then its the gauntlet the rest of the way with Texas and the Yankers...

some guy · Post by **some guy** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 7:48 am

Oh i know DL. I watched the whole game. They are a good ball club and we play em tough. It just sucks even with all those miscues and the blown calls that we dumped that one. Leaving the bases juiced is one thing, you can control that. But to dump a game over hore **** calls you cant control is whats hard to swallow.

Hunter was right when he said the umpires almost seem scared to call a strike against Boston. Yes bad calls are going to happen, but Boston always seems to be on the better end of the calls. Did you see the report that Reed went to the league whining about the Angels disagreeing with his calls? what a tool

buddy brown · Post by **buddy brown** » Fri Sep 18, 2009 7:48 am

I found these stats while getting ready for this weekends series against the Yankers. I am not a Mathematician, but the difference in the numbers is not worth $21.4 million dollars. Not to mention some of that money was used to sign Abreu, re-sign Rivera, and sign Fuentes(whom led MLB in saves with 48.) Good ol' K-Rod had a whopping 35 for the Mets this year. I would have to say things worked out pretty well for the Halos when Texeira left for an extra $2.5 million per season...
