Not that the Angels are making excuses for their poor season, but they think that with a healthy Bartolo Colon they could be ahead of the Oakland A's in the American League West.

Colon wasn't right all season, going 1-5 with a 5.11 earned run average, before it was revealed he had a torn rotator cuff. Last year he was 21-8 with a 3.48 ERA and won the Cy Young Award.

"Losing Bart, it's a big blow," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "Yeah, I think we could contend, but we'd love to have Bart in the rotation."

Colon just began a 10-week program in Arizona with a physical therapist. When that ends, he will head back to the Dominican Republic. Like last season, the Angels will send trainers there to monitor his progress.

Yeah, we do miss Colon. But i think Saunders did a good job taking over his spot in the rotation.

Well he's kind of had it in me ever since i accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly" and replace "dog" with "son".
