With the season on the line, the Angels needed to find a way to get back into this series. Thanks to the bats of Vladimir Guerrero, Howie Kendrick, and Jeff Mathis, the Angels pulled the series back to 2-1 and look to get even tomorrow night.
Jered Weaver didn't bring his best stuff ... 19Oct2009 |

Just an atrocious way to end a game that the Yankees tried to give away. I don't even know what to say after this one. Time and time again the Angels had chances to take control, and time and time again they refused to cash in. For some reason, the Angels have ... 18Oct2009 |

The Angels were beaten. They had to be.
Down 5-2 in the eighth inning and facing two stellar relievers lined up to close the game, they could only look to tomorrow and a Game 4 match-up between Joe Saunders and Jon Lester.
Or at least, that's what it looked like. But appearances can be ... 11Oct2009 |

After two games, the Angels have erased the letters H and E from the word HEX. Two starts, two great pitching performances, and two days with just enough offense to get the Angels over the hump. They'll board a plane tomorrow and fly back to Boston with a 2-0 series lead in ... 10Oct2009 |

For much of the season, 2008 all-star Joe Saunders was firing blanks. After finally admitting to an arm injury, and spending some time on the DL, it's Saunders' opponents who are getting blanked. In his second start since returning from the DL, Saunders tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing ... 1Sep2009 |

The Angels got on the scoreboard early to allow Southern California native and rookie starter Trevor Bell to earn his first major league victory, as the Halos defeated the Cleveland Indians 5-4 at Progressive Field.

The Angels relied on the long ball at the plate, while Ervin Santana followed up last week's gem with another solid performance as the Angels closed out a four game set against the Orioles with a 8-5 victory. The Angels needed the win to keep pace with Texas ... 18Aug2009 |

After Friday's 16 run debacle, the Angels handed the ball over their big horse, John Lackey. Lackey responded with seven innings of one run ball, and was the beneficiary of a five run third inning as the Angels beat the Orioles 6-1.
All of the game's runs came in ... 15Aug2009 |

Ervin Santana has been an enigma all season. The velocity, the movement, the ability seems to have been there all year. Yet he entered tonight's game with Tampa Bay with an ERA over seven, struggling to find any type of consistency. He looked like Santana v2.008 tonight, simply dominating Tampa. Santana held ... 11Aug2009 |

Facing their divisional rivals from the Lone Star State, the Angels once again had difficulties handling the Rangers' prolific offense, as they gave up 5 home runs in an 11-6 defeat on Friday night in Anaheim.

While Vladimir Guerrero may be back in the lineup for the Angels, it may take Torii Hunter a little longer to join his counterpart in the heart of the batting order, as strength tests yesterday revealed that the area around his injury is not strong enough to allow him to begin playing ... 6Aug2009 |

After outscoring the Minnesota Twins 35-18 in their three game series this past weekend, the Angels aren't necessarily desperate for an influx of batters. But even with an offense on a tear, it appears as if Mike Scioscia will in fact be getting some additional hitters, as Vladimir Guerrero and Torii ... 2Aug2009 |

Kendry Morales is good; period. On Sunday, Morales homered twice and had a career-high six RBIs, as the Angels defeated the Minnesota Twins 13-4 to sweep their three-game series in Minneapolis.
Morales hit the first of his two home runs in the fifth inning, a three-run shot, and followed ... 2Aug2009 |

In Saturday's 11-5 victory over the visiting Minnesota Twins, the Angels got some power from two rather unlikely sources - tablesetters Chone Figgins and Maicer Izturis. Figgins and Izturis both homered during a nine-run outburst in the fourth inning, powering the Angels to their eight consecutive victory - ... 25Jul2009 |

Despite giving up two home runs to All Star catcher Joe Mauer, John Lackey and the Angels recorded a 6-3 victory at home against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night after a pair of home runs by Jeff Mathis (2-run HR), Robb Quinlan (solo shot), and Mike Napoli (3-run HR).
Lackey had a ... 25Jul2009 |

With the Yankees headed to Anaheim for a weekend series against the Halos, Los Angeles will be without the heart of their lineup as they face a New York team that has won eight straight road games.

The Angels used offensive outbursts in the first and second innings to jump out to a 6-0 lead and never looked back as they took two of three from the Rockies, who came into Anaheim red hot. Joe Saunders made sure the Rockies never got back into the came, picking up his ... 25Jun2009 |

Even with Sean O'Sullivan making his first career start in the big leagues, the Angels were able to defeat the San Francisco Giants 8-1 for their fifth straight victory.
While O'Sullivan will be headed back to Triple-A Salt Lake, his solid performance Tuesday night won't go unrecognized. Over seven ... 17Jun2009 |

With Titles being handed out in the NBA (yawn) and the NHL (in spectacular fashion) last week, it seems appropriate to discuss SoCal baseball with the World Series in mind.

After a disappointing finish to the Detroit series, the Angels got off to a good start in Tampa Bay. That was no surprise, as their 2009 ace, Jered Weaver, was on the mound to start the series. It was his third straight win, and after going six innings ... 10Jun2009 |
