Around The Halo 9/21/09












The Los Angels Angels return home from a somewhat frustrating 3-4 road trip through New York, Boston and Texas. Frustrating due to lack of offense and yet another screwy game in Fenway Park. However, the Texas Rangers are in a free fall and the Angels took advantage, lowering their magic number to 7.

The Yankees come to town with a chance to clinch a playoff spot. Los Angeles leads the season series 4-3 with the home team coming out on top in 6 of those 7 games. The Angels swept NY aside when the Bronx Bombers visited the "Big A" in July.

With their win on Sunday the Angels set a franchise record with 46 come from behind wins.

Steve Bisheff makes the argument that Howie Kendrick has earned his starting job back. Kendrick has made a strong case for himself, however Macier Izturis hasn't exactly played his way out of a job either. Nice problem for Mike Scioscia to have.

Despite the struggles of Brian Fuentes, Mike Scioscia is not ready to hand over the closer's role to Kevin Jepsen.
