Postgame- Angels Win 4-3

Here’s the thing. All fans here who predict sweeps do the same thing. There is a pattern. And no surprise, it never works. Every time a sweep is predicted the Angels of course lose a game or more to said “bad” team.

Here is how it happens; the Angels have probably been floundering for a week or two, THEN they get a somewhat surprising or at least refreshing win. Shortly afterwards somebody or even a few people will predict a sweep, especially if the upcoming opponent is a so-called “bad” team. It is funny, but those people NEVER predict a sweep after the Angels have lost a game. If they did I would probably celebrate just because they were bold enough to do something that just isn’t done… But they always predict a sweep coming off a win, just letting themselves fantasize and get carried away with their dopamine stimulated good-feeling.

These single wins embolden the fanbase, and feeling giddy they in their short-sighted and typically overconfident way say “The Angels will SWEEP team X…” That is the pattern. Very often it is Grandpa putting the kibosh on the Angels, however, in his defense he has not been doing it as much recently. But not to fear, other intrepid, short-sighted Members will stupidly go on predicting sweeps of “bad” teams, not really understanding Major League Baseball and how difficult it is to win a single game, let alone sweep a series.

Besides, what have the Angels done recently to give any indication they are going to sweep anybody ?.

I prefer adhering to the old adage of “Take em’ one game at a time.” After all, you can only win one game at once, not a handful of them.
