ANAHEIM, Calif.
Antoine Bethea 49ers Jersey . -- Its been
obvious for quite some time that the Los Angeles Angels werent going to the
playoffs. Now its official. The Angels beat Seattle 6-5 Saturday night for their
21st victory in 28 games, but this surge came way too late. Earlier in the day,
they were mathematically eliminated from post-season contention. After starting
the year with big expectations, boosted by the winter signing of former MVP
Josh Hamilton, the injury-plagued Angels didnt spend one day atop the AL West
after winning their season opener at Cincinnati. The Angels have been no fewer
than nine games out of first place since the All-Star break. This is their
fourth straight year without a post-season berth, after winning five division
titles. "I think the one word that still lingers out of all this clubhouse and
how we all feel is certainly frustration," manager Mike Scioscia said. "I dont
think theres been any way to sugarcoat it. Its obviously not a good feeling when
you dont accomplish your goal. "Theres been some nonperformance on our club,
some injuries and some depth issues. But I think weve gone a long way in the
past month to show the kind of baseball we can play, particularly on the
pitching side. Hopefully well temper that frustration and finish strong," he
said. Collin Cowgill homered and also stole home for the Angels. Rookie
Grant Green hit a three-run double to help Jerome Williams win his fourth
straight start. Cowgill walked and scored in the second inning and hit a solo
homer in the fourth. He tripled to open the seventh, then broke for the plate as
Andrew Romine squared around to try a suicide-squeeze bunt, and scored when
left-hander Joe Saunders pitch sailed to the backstop. Williams (9-10) allowed
one run, five hits and five walks in 5 2-3 innings. He left after No. 9 hitter
Henry Blanco snapped an 0-for-32 drought with a bloop single. "I always want to
go out there and do my best," he said. "Ive had a couple of rough stretches, and
now I just want to finish strong and end this season on a good note."
Ernesto Frieri got three outs for his 36th save in 40 attempts despite giving up
Raul Ibanezs 300th career homer. Ibanez and Ted Williams are the only players to
hit 29 home runs during the season in which they were 41 years old. "I feel
fortunate to have the opportunity to be in this situation," Ibanez said.
"Anytime youre in the company of the great Ted Williams -- and its just this one
thing that I have in common with him -- its a great blessing. I read his book
when I was in high school, and he was the greatest hitter that ever lived." What
made this milestone even sweeter for Ibanez was that it came with the Mariners,
the team he began his big league career with in 1996. This is his third stint
with the club. "Ive always considered myself a Mariner," said the 17-year
veteran, who hit a career-high 34 homers in 2009 with Philadelphia. "This is the
organization that first game me the opportunity. So to do this in a Mariners
uniform, I feel very fortunate." Saunders (11-16) tied the Astros Lucas Harrell
and the Cubs Edwin Jackson for the most losses in the majors. Saunders gave up
six runs and six hits over seven innings and tied a career best with nine
strikeouts. The 32-year-old left-hander threw 125 pitches, one short of his
career high. Abraham Almonte scored Seattles second run on a seventh-inning balk
by rookie Cory Rasmus. NOTES: Last year, the Angels post-season hopes ended with
two games left on the schedule. ... LHP C.J. Wilson, who goes into Sundays start
with a 17-6 record and a string of nine straight winning decisions, was
presented with the fifth annual Nick Adenhart memorial award as the Angels top
pitcher of the season during a pregame ceremony. Jered Weaver won it the first
four years. ... Justin Smoak was hitless in three at-bats against Williams, and
is 1 for 19 lifetime against him with seven strikeouts. ... The Mariners are
0-68 this season when trailing after eight innings, and 6-221 during Eric Wedges
three years as manager.
