John Lackey : October 7th, 2008, 10:55 am est
After losing to the Red Sox in the ALDS, John Lackey said Monday that the Angels "lost to a team that's not better than us." "We are a better team than they are," Lackey said. "The last two days, we shouldn't have given up anything. They scored three runs on a pop fly that was called a hit, which was a joke. They scored on a broken-bat ground ball and a fly ball that anywhere else in America is an out, and he's fist-pumping on second base like he did something great." Clearly bad baserunning, defensive miscues and botched squeeze plays shouldn't determine which team is better.Source: Los Angeles Times
