I will amend that the Angels were lucky to beat the Giants when they had us down and had outplayed is in a couple games. I knew we were in trouble when we came out lackadaisical in Game 1 and didn't beat an unspectacular Giants team on that night. I knew they would legit outplay us at least a game or two; so, I thought winning Games 1 and 2 to retain HFA was the key. Then win 1 or 2 of 3 in SF and close it out or have two shots at home to beat an inferior team.
But then the Giants won that first game and had one of their two really good batting games in Game 2 and we needed one of our patented offensive explosions just to avoid complete disaster. And Game 6 again, I was not expecting to be down big; but that was the year of the rally monkey. The rest is history.
