Yeah, looks like it, from a mathematical standpoint, simply because the Angels had such a large lead in two different races. The odds of not hanging onto either one were miniscule.

However, their collapse was not at all sudden. It was a long, drawn-out one. They peaked in August. From that standpoint, the 1964 Phillies or the 2007 Mets was probably worse for the fans who were on the verge of celebrating playoff contention.
