BillyMac is an ordinary guy...and has better shoes than you

This One's For You, Nick: Angels 11, Rangers 0

The usual nonsense does not apply. It was a slaughter from beginning to end, a no-doubter to end the regular season and begin the playing-out-the-string of the good kind, waiting for the eventual ALDS against Boston. Tommy Hunter got shelled and didn't last three, the Rangers' pitching staff had nothing, Ervin Santana went the distance for a CG SHO, and I'm watching as...
