Going to my 12th or so Angels game of the season tonight. Going to about 4 or 5 more after this game, and I believe that's it for the season, unless they reach the postseason. Right now, that's starting to look like a tall order, as they're 5 games out. Luckily, they still play 3 more games (including tonight) and 2 more series after that against the team they're chasing (Rangers).
Tonight should be fun though, being that's the Angels are giving away a mug to all fans in attendance tonight (at least I think it's all fans, not sure). It's also my first time seeing Chatwood pitch. Normally when I've gone this year, it's either Weaver, Haren, Santana, or Pinero that had been pitching. Seeing Chatwood pitch tonight, could be a good thing or a bad thing. Depends on what Chatwood you get. The one that shows promise of sticking around, or the one that's looking to fall in the footsteps of Pinero, and make his way out of the rotation.
Hitting wise, the team has a split personality (if it were a person). One game the team actually scores, and others, looks like they treat offense as if it were a foreign language. I've got my favorite players I follow, and players I wish weren't on the team (looking at Mathis here). Really don't think the Angels should have made that trade they did in the offseason. Napoli is putting up better all around numbers than Mathis, and it's not close.
Back to where I started off. After this game tonight, I will be going to the game on the 20th (Mercy Me is performing afterwards, game starts at 6), then going to the Yankees games on the 9th and 11th, with the last game being the 25th (fan appreciation day).
