The Weight Of Unmet Expectations: Padres 4, Angels 1
An Angels team with two-fifths of its starting roster clipped for opening day, and of those two, its best two.
A weak AL West as opposition, and the sneaking feeling that the Angels' moment to go all the way is drifting away, as Dallas McPherson did, and Brandon Wood's stock has. The Angels pulled two high-dollar centerfielders off the free-agency card deck in two years, and while Torii Hunter is maybe a better bet to be productive, it still leaves the same weak excuses and thought processes in place that decided Gary Matthews, Jr. was a good buy for a five-year deal that valued him as a starter and not the journeyman he really was.
The erosion in the bullpen.
The continued inability to hit for power.
F it.
Play ball.
