Is it me or are the A's going through one of the hottest stretches in recent history? I knew they would heat up, but damn!

16-1 yesterday and 11-0 today (granted against the Royals), but that is nuts.

This is a case of obviously stellar pitching and their young bats getting really comfortable and maturing. As an Angel fan, I am scared. The Angels had an 8 game lead 3 weeks ago and now it's gone. While they haven't played horrible lately, only mediocre (they're 1 or 2 games under .500 since the All Star break), the inconsistency of the Angels offense is killing them. I think the A's will likely jump up a couple games on the Halos, but the Angels have always stuck strong when the A's get hot and stayed within striking distance. The A's can not play this hot for much longer (at least my heart is telling me).

It will be a great pennant race, especially if the Angels bats start to ignite. These are two of the best pitching staffs in the AL, which makes it even more exciting.
