By mattwelch KM: .304/.353/.571, 34 HRs, 85/107 GM: .251/.339/.362,  4 HRs, 43/48 Losing Teixeira highlights another issue, one that goes back to the question of what the Angels actually do that's distinctive. For 2009, the once-touted farm system doesn't have the impact bat to replace Teixeira or a pitch...

By WiHaloFan Angels-White Sox Preview - FOX Sports on MSN While Chicago is heating up, the Angels are in danger of being swept for the first time since May 15-17 against Texas. Los Angeles, which entered this series winner of 17 of 20, has not been swept in Chicago since Aug. 18-20, 2003.

By Rev Halofan Rev Halofan (Halos Heaven): The Angels are not necessarily for real and their health will dictate who wins the American League West. No matter how great Scioscia is, he is no Lewis Yocum. 67MARQUEZ (Athletics Nation): Texas and/or Seattle hang around, and the A's knock the Angels out of the...

By WiHaloFan Up next: Dodgers versus Angels on Sunday - Los Angeles Times Clayton Kershaw vs. John Lackey Angels sign Randal Grichuk - Los Angeles Times The Angels signed their top pick in the June 9 draft, 17-year-old high school outfielder Randal Grichuk, to a bonus of $1.225 million on Saturday.

The trade went well, but the Angels once again couldn’t beat the Red Sox in October, and are now left to pick up the pieces. Casey Kotchman is now in Atlanta, via the Teixeira trade, and because of it, the Angels are stuck with an untested Kendry ...

Last night the Angels (in the immortal words of Captain Insano) ‘opened up a can of whoop-ass’ on the New York Yankees as they pummeled the Pinstripers 12-1. Nothing new there as the Angels have pretty much owned New York since the Joe Torre era. But things actually got physical between two gu...

By Jeff Kallman Apparently, general manager Tony Reagins wasn’t kidding about looking at any opportunity to make the team with baseball’s best record better—the Angels have pulled the proverbial trigger on Mark Teixeira, swapping first baseman Casey Kotchman and minor league pitcher Steve Marek t...

I know that the No. 3 position in the batting order is ostensibly reserved for your best hitter which for the Angels is Vladimir Guerrero. And Guerrero has been scorching the ball lately. Arte, you made your billion in advertising, branding products to sell to suckers and now you are selling t...

By Rob(noreply@blogger.com) I was poking around at BTF when I saw this thread about Dave Cameron's interesting long guest article at The Baseball Analysts, a history of the post-2003 Mariners' bad (and worse) decisions. Poster Blackadder asked, "Do people remember the pre-season projections for the 2001 Mariners...

By Rob(noreply@blogger.com) Win Number One For Lackey: Angels 3, Blue Jays 1 A win in Toronto? Believe it, brother; never mind that Vlad's only hit in the game was a lousy single, or that Garret Anderson didn't get credit for an RBI because he hit into a double play doing it. The man of the hour was John Lackey, getting into a...

By Rob(noreply@blogger.com) More on Bennett's mechanics at Inside the Dodgers; apparently this took up a great deal of time at Torre's postgame press conference. Help for Dodger fans who may not get this reference. It's the song they play at Angels Stadium before every game.

By Rev Halofan I don't have a problem with it, but after years of suffering obtuse self-impressed internet screeds calling us funny permutations on our name, I have to point out that we are not the Arizona City Angels (Arizona City, California), which is how the Missouri Royals fans ought to be treated b...

By Jim McLennan The game was totally sold out. I don't think I've seen so many scalpers at a Spring Training game before. That was probably no surprise; we bought our tickets a couple of months back, and even at that point, the best seats remaining were in the last section bleachers, out by the AZ bullpen.

By Pizza Cutter A few weeks ago, I was driving through Anaheim. I was in town to do a job interview (true story… I could theoretically be living in L.A. in a few months), and I drove past Angel Stadium and Disney Land (about a mile apart). So, in a sense, when I say that this is stop #17 on the tour, I actually mea ...

By Aaron Jay Sapiro With the Angels getting Torii Hunter, that means we have to get Cabrera right? It was supposed to be the Dodgers and the Angels, the Angels and the Dodgers neck and neck in the Miguel Cabrera sweepstakes, and it looks like the Angels just backed out.

By Rev Halofan It is either Mathis or Escobar, but it was pretty apparent by the fifth batter that the outside corner was a wasteland and that pitches to Righties there were not going to be called a strike. And yet one or both of these players insisted on placing the ball just there, time and time again. Escoba...

By Jeff Kallman So long as Mike Scioscia has managed the Los Angeles Angels, he’s held his pitchers to a reasonably strict anti-retaliation policy. Don’t think for one minute that Ichiro Suzuki isn’t saying a silent prayer of thanks for that before the Seattle Mariners square off in Anaheim Friday night.

By Administrator At the beginning of play on August 18, 1967, the Red Sox unexpectedly found themselves in the pennant race—in fourth place and only 3 ½ games behind the first place Minnesota Twins. On that day, a Friday, the California Angels—in fifth place and a game behind the Red Sox—arrived in Boston fo...

By The Omnipotent Q As thoughtless, and as stupid a remark as that is, Gary Matthews of the Los Angeles Angels absolutely went Angel one better. He gave an interview to a reporter about Red Sox fans, and it left me just shaking my head. Here is some highlights, courtesy of The Boston Globe.
