When I originally started this blog, it was going to be in tribute to the young Angel rotation that was headed by John Lackey. The remaining rotation was made up of Santana, Saunders, Weaver, and Matt Palmer who would be replaced with Scott Kazmir. Even with Lackey on the roster, most circles I'm in would not even count Lackey as an ACE. Hence the Diamond Aces, that each Angel pitcher could go out there and have an ACE like start. 2008, Saunders and Santana were both All-Stars. 2009, Weaver and Saunders were pitching like All-Stars. Palmer was getting lucky! Kazmir is a former All-Star! So these Aces of the Diamond were set to destroy the American League West in 2010. Now its much too early, but the pitching staff has certainly stepped their game up. Toronto has never been a good city for the Halos, but they showed up in full force. Weaver had a great outing, followed by Saunders going 8, and Santana finishing a complete game. Nearly getting a Shut Out! Now there is a long scheduled of baseball left to be played. The Halos sit 2.5 games out of 1st Place.
Speaking of Lackey, he signed with the Boston Red Sox. He thought it would give him a better chance at winning another World Series ring. Turns out, not so much. Tampa Bay is in 1st. New York is in 2nd. Hell even the swept Blue Jays are in 3rd. Because the Boston Red Sox are six games out of 1st Place in the East. Now obviously this slide won't last all year. But I plan on enjoying every moment of it I can.
Go Halos!
