* Last week had to have been a tough one for Joe Maddon. And not just because his LA Angels suffered a four-game sweep at home to the Rays. The error-prone Angels looked uncharacteristically sloppy and un-Maddon like. Then the team awkwardly released Hall-of-Famer to-be Albert Pujols, 41. Not the way that career, even though Pujols had been overpaid and under-performing for a while, should have ended. Nobody looked good.
