The Angels managed the win despite several shake ups to their line up including the loss of Shea Hillenbrand, with a groin injury, and the return of Bartolo Colon. Colon spent most of last season on the disabled list with a tear in his rotator cuff. Thing looked good as Colon returned to the pitchers mound. In his first game back, Colon threw sixty-one pitches against 15 batters.

New York Yankees in the divisional series last year and accounted for the only post season win against the World Champion Chicago White Sox, who swept all their other postseason opponents last year. With most of the team returning, they are once again reloaded and ready to compete. The backbone of the Anaheim Angels has become their high priced all-stars, none bigger than Vladimir Guerrero. The right fielder is a monster of a hitter, able to hit with power anywhere in or sometimes out of the strike zone, and shows defensive prowess as well. Left fielder Garrett Anderson and Darin Erstad who will probably be playing center this year will again join Guerrero in the outfield at Angel Stadium. Much of the infield will also be returning as first baseman Corey Kotchman is expected to earn a starting spot in the infield along with Adam Kennedy, Orlando Cabrera, and Chone Figgins. While catcher Bengie Molina is probably going to sign elsewhere before the start of the season, his brother Jose Molina remains. Though the team had been looking for more power in the line-up, Juan Rivera returns as the designated hitter. Not to be forgotten is Los Angeles' stellar pitching staff led by ace Bartolo Colon. Joining Colon in the rotation is rising star John Lackey, Ervin Santana, Kelvim Escobar, and Hector Carrasco who was signed to fill the place of Paul Byrd. Francisco Rodriguez returns as the team's lights out closer, backed up once again by Scot Shields, Brendan Donnelly, and Esteban Yan in the bullpen. The L.A. Angels have a great mix of players, almost all of whom are returning from last year's division championship team. California Angels tickets will once again be a commodity as the team tries to make it three pennants in a row, en route to another World Series Championship.
