The Angels' road trip from Baltimore to Texas to New York that begins Friday will log the team 8,385 air miles. Had the schedule required the Angels to go to Texas first then Baltimore and New York it would have been 2,598 miles less, or five hours less flying.
And to think, this isn't manager Mike Scioscia's biggest gripe with the schedule. Scioscia doesn't like that the Angels will be playing out-of-division opponents as late as a week and a half before the season ends.
Last night, I was at dinner with my family, and (as always between April and October), the conversation with my dad turned to baseball.
I told him that I'd just seen the schedule for the upcoming road trip, and the Angels were playing three in Baltimore, then three in Texas, then three in New York.
After a few minutes, we decided I must have seen that wrong, as nobody in MLB would be so stupid as to make a schedule that idiotic.
