Rate Random thoughts about the Angels’ playoff ouster in Boston

Original at MVN external link    Tue, Oct 7

By Joe Florkowski Also, I, like a lot of Angels players, did not feel the Red Sox were as talented as the Halos. The Angels beat themselves, rather than letting the Red Sox beat them. The silver lining, if there is one from this series, is that the Halos ...

Rate Angels Gearing Up for Post-Season Run

Original at MVN external link    Mon, Sep 22

By Richard Nickerson All tolled things really could not have gone better for the Angels since clinching the division two weeks ago.  Injured players have been given the time to mend and bench players have been given an opportunity to audition for post-season roster spots.  Barring a sudden losing streak the An...

Original at MVN external link    Wed, Sep 17

By Joe Florkowski Now that it has been a week since the Angels clinched the A.L. West division (although it has felt like weeks months) Halo fans can start thinking about who the team will face in the first round of the American League Division Series and overall in the playoffs.

Rate Opinion: Tempers Flare as Halos Pound Yanks & Lower Magic Number to 2

Original at MVN external link    Tue, Sep 9

The Angels could finally put the rest of the AL West out of their collective misery and clinch the division with a win tonight over the New York Yankees and a Texas Rangers loss. It would break the record for the earliest a team has claimed the division, a distinction currently held by the 1971...

Rate Angel fans rank lowest on Forbes’ fan loyalty study - Can Moreno and company fix it?

Original at MVN external link    Wed, Aug 13

But I (and Angels owner Arte Moreno) are hoping that as the Angels continue to have increased success on the field and win division titles and pennants and World Series, some of those 3 million fans will stick around even in lean years.

Rate Opinion: Angels offense hits embarrassing new low in Freeway Series, plus Readers React!

Original at MVN external link    Mon, Jun 30

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...

Rate Small ball or no ball?

Original at MVN external link    Thu, Apr 3

Minnesota Twins Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 9. Maicer Izturis-SS After the exciting season opener, another familiar thing surfaced: To play small ball, you got to get hits and hits were hard to come by last season. After tallying up ten hits in the opener, the Twins only mustered 12 during...

Rate Light on the Left: The Halo Infield, Part One

Original at MVN external link    Sat, Mar 8

By Jeff Howe The big bat the Angels were hoping to sign this off-season — Miguel Cabrera — would have given Vladimir Guerrero protection and added punch to the offense. Obviously, that plan did not work out and instead the Angels signed Torii Hunter as their lineup solution. While another outfielder is...

Rate The Big Delay: Angels new radio home delays Angels spring training games

Original at MVN external link    Thu, Feb 28

By Joe Florkowski I figured it was either a programming mistake or maybe the Angels were not going to air their first spring training game. But after I checked some message boards, I discovered the Angels will not broadcast the Angels’ spring training games until 6 p.m.!!

Rate Angels’ new radio home off to a good start

Original at MVN external link    Tue, Feb 5

By Joe Florkowski The Angels have a new radio broadcast home for the 2007 season in Los Angeles/Orange County - AM 830 - and so far the results are promising. But the new radio station allows Arte Moreno to air Angels games on his schedule, rather than ESPN’s.

Rate How much is Francisco Rodriguez worth?

Original at MVN external link    Mon, Jan 28

By Joe Florkowski But please don’t get Kevin Gregg. In Francisco Rodriguez, the Angels have one of the top 10 closers in the game. He has saved 40 or more games in a row for three years in a row. And now he is seeking $12.5 million to pitch in 2008. But I wonder if he is really worth that much. And so are the [...]

Original at MVN external link    Thu, Nov 22

By Joe Florkowski The Dodgers are making a strong marketing push this year because the team is celebrating its 50th year in Los Angeles. The Hunter signing allows the Angels to continue to put pressure on the Dodgers in the battle for the hearts and minds (and dollars) of the Southland.

Rate 2007 Sabermetric Year in Review: Texas Rangers

Original at MVN external link    Fri, Nov 2

By Pizza Cutter Yeah, that about sums it up: On the surface, this was a boring year for Ranger fans.  The real work was below the surface.  In the trades mentioned above, Lofton brought in minor league catcher Max Ramirez.  Gagne brought in Kason Gabbard and David Murphy.  Teixeira brought in that Salty guy an...

Rate If the Angels want A-Rod, how much should they pay? 30 million?!

Original at MVN external link    Thu, Jul 12

By Joe Florkowski It’s being reported that if Alex Rodriguez leaves the New York Yankees at the end of the season and opts out of his contract, his super agent/devil in disguise Scott Boras will seek as much as $30 million a year. Ultimately, I think Angels’ owner Arte Moreno will have to decide one of two thing...

Casey Kotchman - Seemingly the Angels first baseman of the future for the past five years, the future is now for Kotchman who is hitting just .235 with 1 HR.  Finally healthy and with no one standing between him and the starting first baseman job, Kotchman needs to seize the moment and prove t...

By Richard Nickerson I can’t predict how this will play out but based on Moreno’s comments today there could be storm brewing in the desert. If there is a dust-up then the Angels end-game is clear: smooth the troubled waters well before the team lands in Anaheim in April. Angels head honcho Arte Moreno broke his si...
