Staff Writer SEATTLE -- With three off days still to come this month, the Angels' coaching staff has been looking at a possible rotation shuffle. Nothing is likely to happen with Thursday's day off, but days off Sept. 18 and 21 are conveniently placed to be of assistance. On Sept. 22, the Angels play the first of seven games against the Oakland Athletics “Philadelphia Athletics” redirects here. For other uses, see Philadelphia Athletics (disambiguation).

When Scioscia was generically asked about changes to the rotation, he brought up Saunders' name. ``As of right now (we won't make changes), but we'll see where we are as our guys finish these next two starts and where we're going,'' Scioscia said. ``But no, we're still looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment.

A's in their heads: Oakland's winning ways are starting to take a mental toll on the Angels, who can't seem to make up ground even when they do put together a winning run. ``God, we were talking about it with (Yankees third-base coach) Larry Bowa,'' Orlando Cabrera said. ``You look at the numbers and you don't see guys with 90, 100 RBIs. Nobody is hitting .300. Then you see they score five, six runs every day.'' The Angels went 7-3 on their just-completed homestand and made up just one game in the standings.
