Angels go for three-game sweep of A's; Kendrys Morales examined by foot specialist | The Fabulous Forum | Los Angeles Times

Three days ago, theAngels' batters, as former Dodgers Manager Tommy Lasorda once said in a famous rant, couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. While getting swept in a four-game series by the Boston Red Sox, the Angels scored five runs (total), hit .158 (21 for 33) and were shut out Saturday and Sunday.

Then the Oakland Athletics came to town and the Angels got all better. They beat the A's, 5-0, behindJered Weaver's seven-hit shutout Monday night, and they racked up 16 hits, including seven for extra bases, in an8-3 victory Tuesday night. The Angels will go for a three-game sweep Wednesday afternoon, with Angels right-hander Dan Haren opposing Oakland right-hander Tyson Ross.

"It's crazy, man,"said right fielder Torii Hunter, who was battling a 5-for-49 slump going into the A's series but had three hits, including a double, Tuesday night."You watch this game, you play it long enough, you see some stupid stuff. The game is crazy ... but I love it."
