Just for the day. Still have a week left. I keep an eye on it via MLB wildcard page. Easier on this addled mind given the complexity: https://www.mlb.com/standings/wild-card/2023-09-24
KLAA, Terry Smith, radio play by play. Longest serving continuous radio announcer for Angels. Horrible. Monotone, stacato delivery. Mark Langston, former MLB pitcher does color. Well done but clearly 2nd fiddle to Smith.
Have to bear my way thru with Gladd...

Angels radio is broadcasting remotely. Good grief, what a miserable team from owner, FO, on-field and back-office.
Trout has only played 82 games this year. With whom will he play next year? What a waste of 13 years.
And a confidence builder for the young man who is aware of his defensive "lightness." Gladden has talked about the extra hours he has put in w/Twins coaches so as to improve.

Rolled into MLB.com to purchase my tickets for postseason. (If you have purchased this year, they sent out code).
Will have to pass. My standard seat up in 319 is $71. I will have to find some gin mill that has the game on and persuade my wife to a long, leisurely dinner 3 nights in a row where we both can enjoy a meal for that $71. Cheer them on for me, tix holders!
Note: It appeared that they have blocked off all the bleacher seats, driving people to buy the pricier tix before they open up bleachers.
