I had Bartolo Colon going for my fantasy team, so i was quite happy to see that score.

In case you missed it, the Angels scored 10 runs with their eyes closed last night against the Mariners #1 pitcher, and Colon pitched 6 innings without giving up an earned run.
 
 Think the AL West is shaking in their boots these day?

I see you didn't miss it.  Glad to hear that.

Moyer aint their best pitcher, he's about 50 years old. Pineiro is their best pitcher, he will shut them down tonight.

21-7 with a 3.29 ERA at age 39 ain't so bad.  Is 40 really that much different?
 
 Nobody will shut the Angels down this year.  
 
 Eckstein
 Erstad
 Guerrero
 Anderson
 Glaus
 Guillen
 Salmon
 Molina
 Kennedy
 
 Only injuries can stop that lineup.  They could average 7 runs a game.

I think Arthur Rhodes just got his only two saves of the season.

because hudson/mulder/zito/redman/harden will shut down everyone and have no need for a closer to save any of their games.

Right, because Colon/Washburn/Escobar/Ortiz/Lackey are mince meat.
 
 And there is no better bullpen in baseball when Brendan Donnelly returns.  Weber/K-Rod/Donnelly/Percival.
 
 Even DePodesta left Oakland because saw this Angels team on his spreadsheet and knew that the A's were in trouble this year.

When they look at the AL East, yes, they are shaking in their boots.

Who?
 
 And aren't the A's the 4th team to try Rhodes as a closer?  How did it work out for the others?
 
 Billy Beane says you don't need a great closer to win.  I think this shows he really believes that.  And Arthur Rhodes has Billy Koch written all over him.

At least one team in baseball I know of isn't afraid of the NY Yankees.  And that would be the Anaheim Angels.  
 
 And nobody needs to be afraid of the Boston Red Sox because they are afraid of themselves.
 
 The AL wild card will come from the West this year.  And I'm not afraid to go on record to say that.
 
 That leaves Baltiomre, Toronto and Tampa Bay, and I'm just not going to qualify those squads with a response.

Oh, I think you can count on injuries to that lineup. I guarentee they won't average 7 runs a game, but with Escobar, Ortiz, and Washburn being unpredictable, they might have to.
 
 As for their lineup:
 
 Eckstein - average at best. great work ethic.
 Erstad - will be hurt. shadow of his 2000 season.
 Guerrero - just awesome.
 Anderson - also great
 Glaus   - will hit .250, low obp
 Guillen - who knows? could be great, could revert back to his usual selft
 Salmon - This ain't 1997.
 Molina - could never put it together. abysmal obp. former prospect.
 Kennedy - utility man on most contenders.
