Seeing Red -- And falling by the way side

So I was one of 43,510 who donned a "fleece Blankie" to not only welcome Matsui to the Angels but to break a Guinness World Record.  I was even impressed by the two Minnesota Twin fans wearing the fleece during the required 5 minutes.  That type of autonomy is reminiscent of the 2002 World Series Game 7 where in unison a sell out crowd of Angels fan beat away on Plastic inflated Thunder Sticks.  However the same autonomy didn't work in the favor of the Angels.  Perhaps because the Twins fans donned the Red "Blankies"  
It was my first game of the year.  Anaheim Stadium is even more beautiful than I remember.  Trees now cover the Rock Waterfall in Centerfield.  Yardhouse and joined the list of advertisers at Angel Stadium.  
But lets get to the game.  Joe Saunders looked ok, with the exception of the long balls to Hardy, and the M&M boys.  Unfortunately the Angels never got hot.  In fact they were fairly cold.  Thanks to Torii Hunter, who put a ball in the outfield gave us a reason to cheer.  Unfortunately the Angels are now 1-1 and falling by the way side in the American League West.
