Post-Game Report: Angels vs. Mariners (8/12/08)

It looks like the Angels are starting to like this new, powerful offense. The Halos rallied for 4 runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, behind home runs by Juan Rivera and Vlad Guerrero, and never looked back, as they beat the Seattle Mariners 7-3 on Tuesday night, in front ... 13Aug2008 | Matt Tolich | 0 comments | Continued

Post-Game Report: Angels vs. Yankees (8/10/08)

What a game for the Angels!

Post-Game Recap: Angels vs. Red Sox (7/19/08)

While Mike Scioscia refused to call this a statement series, the Angels are nevertheless doing just that as they beat the Red Sox 4-2 for the second time in this weekend series. Facing Boston's ace Josh Beckett, the scrappy Angels showed that they have enough offense to beat their A.L. East nemesis the Red ... 19Jul2008 | Joey Kaufman | 1 comment | Continued

Post-Game Report: Angels vs. Rangers (7/7/08)

John Lackey

Post-Game Report: Angels vs. Blue Jays (7/5/08)

It was too little, too late for the Angels in tonight's game. John Lackey wasn't at his best tonight, and the Blue Jays' bullpen held off a 9th inning rally from the Halos, as the Jays held on to beat the Angels 7-5. Lackey wasn't terrible tonight, but he wasn't too good ... 5Jul2008 | Matt Tolich | 2 comments | Continued

Post-Game Report: Angels vs. Blue Jays (7/4/08)

If you could get over those hideous Fourth of July hats than Friday's spectacular was certainly pleasing on the eyes.

Thoughts On The Sabathia Speculation

Over the past few weeks, many sources around Major League Baseball have made it very clear that Indians pitcher C.C. Sabathia has been placed on the trading block. These same sources seem to think that the Angels could be and are one of the front-runners in the race to acquire him before the ... 28Jun2008 | Matt Tolich | 2 comments | Continued

The Angels Have Won The West

Yes, I realize that it's only June, we're not even to the All-Star Break yet and there's still a lot of baseball to play. But come on - there's no way the Halos can be caught now. The Mariners just fired their manager, John McLaren, in the midst of the worst season in baseball. The Rangers, though ... 19Jun2008 | Matt Tolich | 2 comments | Continued

Offensive Help On The Way?

On the heels of the Mariners' firing of GM Bill Bavasi, the Angels have hinted that they are considering making moves of their own. Hold on, Hatcher haters; we're not there yet.

Gary Matthews Jr.

The Need to Sit Gary Matthews, Jr.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have an interesting problem on their hands - what to do with Gary Matthews Jr. At the beginning of the season, Matthews was to serve as a fourth outfielder/DH/defensive specialist for the team.

Over the past several seasons, Cincinnati Reds outfielder Adam Dunn has earned a reputation in most clubhouses for being a big-time power hitter, who fails to hit for average and strikes out often. In 2007, Dunn batted .264 with 40 home runs and 165 strikeouts, and in 2006, he hit .234 with 40 ... 16May2008 | Joey Kaufman | 0 comments | Continued
