Angels Don't Meet Expectations in Game 1 of Division Series — #ALDS

A nicely toned commentary from Bill Dwyre, at the Los Angeles Times:

The game was tighter than the cork on a bottle of wine. The Angels wore out the Rally Monkey. Also the 45,321 fans.

It also wore out people's patience. The game took 4 hours 5 minutes and was a prime example of why retiring Commissioner Bud Selig wants things done to make games move along faster. This one gave him a template.

Pretty shocking opener, actually.
