Strange Things Are Afoot At The Big A

This has been a great week for the Angels. And a bit strange. Runs in bunches and a win from the un-likeliest of pitchers.

Sunday. Vladimir Guerrero hits a walk-off 2-run home run in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the Angels a 4-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. It was the Angels' first walk-off home run since September 5th of last season.

Monday. The Angels (who have been poor hitters in the late innings) score 8 runs in the 8th inning. The Angels also have 22 hits, their most since May of 2002.

Tuesday. The Angels beat the Twins 5-1. Nothing strange.

Wednesday. John Lackey gives up 4 earned runs and loses to the Minnesota Twins 8-5.

Thursday was an off day.

Friday. The Angels again have a big (late) inning, putting a six spot on the St. Louis Cardinals in the 7th inning. They connect for 17 hits and win 10-6 despite the Cards scoring in 6 different innings.

Saturday. Ervin Santana gets a road win.

For the week, the Halos went 5-1. They had 10 or more hits in 5 of their 6 games and 17 or more hits in half of their games.

If anybody knows how to bottle this up and save it for later in the year, please tell me. Or at least somebody on the Angels.
