Talk:A.L. Predictions, 2006/@comment-Xinoph-2006022575822

You&quot;re right, should be stay a playoff team; I was thinking of another. But them getting in the ALCS last year was really a fluke, as they proved when they rolled over and died for the ChiSox, scoring only an average 2 runs a game. In comparison, the Yankees and Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS scored an average of about 3.4 and 6.4 runs a game, respectively. Chicago&quot;s 2005 ALCS average was somewhere in between at around 5. I would say that last year&quot;s Angels went much farther than they should have, and will probably fall apart this year, much like the NFL&quot;s Philadelphia Eagles after amazingly getting close to beating the Pats in SB XXXVIII.
