• Despite their probably more compelling playoff implications, neither the Angels’ nor Giants’ games are particularly watchable tonight.

• Another is how the author, personally, is Angels-ed and Giants-ed out at the moment.
• What’s that, my fourth-grade teacher Mrs. Terry? I can’t make a verb out of Angels and Giants?
• Sorry, lady. Appears as though I just did.
