Tiger 12, Angels 0 - Detroit started looking tired after running around the bases so much. They shelled Anaheim by scoring in five different innings and put up 20 runs in the final two games of the series. This led Angel fans to utter words never spoken before: "Thank goodness we're done with Detroit. Now we can beat up on the Yankees!" Elsewhere - Turns out the Dodger parking problem may not really be......

Tigers 9, Angels 5 - Mike Maroth threw 105 pitches over just 4 and 2/3 innings, giving up seven hits, five walks, and three runs (two earned). He left the game with the bases loaded. Yet the only reason he didn't earn the win is that he didn't pitch the minimum five innings required of starters. Despite his ugly stats, Detroit still won thanks to a barrage of seven runs in the first two innings.......

When the Anaheim Angels of Anaheim headed into the Great Nor'Easter of '07 and ended up getting outscored 25-3 while being swept by the Red Sox, do you think they'll most remember their first encounter with Dice-K? Do you think they'll remember how nervous they were when it looked like Vlad was totally hurt, but only ended up sorta hurt. Or do you think they'll most vividly remember the Red Sox fan who got......

Because of terrible weather - and bad vibes, GA - today's Angels game against the Boston Red Sox was canceled. Unfortunately, because of the Boston Marathon, tomorrow's game is scheduled to begin at 10am local time, which is 7am for you, me, and whatever Angel is still on West Coast time. Which means instead of tuning into the Today show or Howard Stern on radio, you might wanna wake up with the Angels on......

Some might call it acting in lock-step, some might call it a grand and fitting tribute to an American hero. Today the Pittsburgh Pirates announced that every one of their players will don Jackie Robinson's number 42 on their jerseys on Sunday, the 60th anniversary of the day Robinson broke the color barrier in major league baseball. In an unprecedented move, the number was retired from all MLB teams ten years ago, only being......

Anaheim Angels manager, and former Dodger, Mike Scioscia tried to defend his suddenly-controversial outfielder Garret Anderson, who last week told officials that he would not be wearing Jackie Robinson's number this Sunday to celebrate Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball. Anderson originally gave two excuses for dissing the dead Dodger by refusing to wear his number, 1) he said he wasn't going to do it because it was Ken Griffey Jr.'s idea and......

When an author of a book about cheating in baseball noticed Angel closer Francisco Rodriguez going to his cap an inordinate amount of times on Opening Day, he wrote about it on his blog and got photos, and his allegations against K-Rod made it to the front office of Major League Baseball. Where it died. Yesterday MLB called the Angels to tell them that there would be no investigation of K-Rod's cap because there......

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, all 25 Dodger players will don the Hall of Famer's number on the back of their uniform on April 15th, a stunning tribute that will charm everyone except the official scorer. The number 42 was officially retired from MLB ten years ago, allowing those who still had the number to continue to wear it, but barring anyone new from sporting......

In what will probably be discovered as being a halo around his head, Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez is being accused of having an illegal substance on the brim of his cap. The blog The Cheater's Guide to Baseball claims that in the first two games of this young season, K-Rod has gone to his cap an inordinate amount of times, with special attention given to the underside of his cap by the thumb of......

Happy Opening Day, the one day where hope is in everyone's hearts and the future is as bright as a brand new box of baseballs. In a little more than an hour the Anaheim Angels of Anaheim will throw out the first pitch of new season. But in fantasy leagues all around the country, the season already began since virtual General Managers choose players from teams around the Majors. What's interesting about these Rotisserie......

Earlier this week, Angels Third Baseman Chone Figgins suffered a broken finger that looks to keep him out for the first month of the season. The Angels are likely to start utilityman Maicer Izturis at the hot corner while Figgins is out, but this injury has got us thinking. The Halos spent all offseason trying to bring in big bats, but struck out when they went after guys like Aramis Ramirez, Alfonso Soriano and......

Alright folks the 2007 baseball season upon us, so I thought I’d take a look at who the Angels will likely start in the field, compared to the squad that the Halos fielded going into ’06. Catcher: 2006: Jeff Mathis/Jose Molina 2007: Mike Napoli Impact: Positive Going into last season, the Angels had let Bengie Molina go so that they could hand Jeff Mathis the job behind the dish, with Jose Molina expected to......

Who needs football when all three area pro baseball teams are so much fun? Long Beach Armada Steroid-slinging slugger Jose Canseco, oh yeah former steroid-slinging slugger... took to the mound for the first time as a starting pitcher Wednesday in Long Beach. Canseco fluttered a knuckleball for 4 1/3 innings, giving up five walks and hitting four batters while striking out only one as the LB Armada lost 8-2 against the Reno Silver Sox.......

In case you missed it, the Angels are on one heck of a tear, going 19-6 so far in July. Prior to this one, the Angels hadn't posted a winning decade once in its history, so you might be surprised to learn that even if they close out tonight's game against the A's with a win and finish 20-6, they still wouldn't break the team record for the best month in club history. That......

John Klima of The Daily Breeze today said it all: They sent Jered Weaver, the rookie right-hander who won all four of his decisions and posted a 1.37 ERA, helping to stabilize the pitching staff of the last-place team in the AL West, to triple-A Salt Lake.LAist wonders, why wasn't it brother Jeff Weaver, with his sorry-ass 3-9 record and who gave up a team-leading 17 home runs. Dudes it was JEFF Weaver who's......

Not even a four-run lead going into the 7th inning seemed safe for the Angels last night -- even though they were shutting out the worst team in baseball. And sure enough, in the 7th the Kansas City Royals knocked in three runs off of Anaheim starter Ervin Santana at the Big A. Once the Angel bullpen took over, however, the mighty Royals cooled down, but it still wasn't pretty for the Halos or......

Courtney Love's last words to Kurt Cobain seem to capture our feelings towards the whole Anaheim Angels vs. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim fracas perfectly. For those of you not keeping up with petty sports politics, Angels owner Arte Moreno is being sued by the City of Anaheim for changing the team's name. The city claims that by calling the team "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" he is violating the terms of his......

It's official. Arte Moreno has announced his team will now be called the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Now the Angels have come full circle, after they were originally named the Los Angeles Angels, because they played in the City of Angels. But California Angels never quite worked, and who wants to be called the Anaheim Angels? The name Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim sounds absolutely absurd. But Arte Moreno knows exactly what he's......

Today, the Los Angeles Times practically gives a legal briefing on the Angels fight with the city of Anaheim over a proposed name change. Apparently, the language in the Angels' lease agreement with the city of Anaheim is ambiguous enough that the team could come up with a compromise name of sorts. The contract states that "Anaheim" must be in the team name, but it doesn't explicitly force the team to be called the......

The Los Angeles Times reports today that the Dodgers may join the city of Anaheim in the fight to prevent Arte Moreno from calling his team the Los Angeles Angels. This was only a matter of time. With Arte Moreno proving to be an owner who understands winning, the Dodgers need to protect their turf as much as possible. The Dodgers still dominate LA, so why allow anyone to infringe on their pseudo-monopoly? LAist......

The best player in the American League lives right here in SoCal. That was confirmed yesterday as Vladimir Guerrero was named AL MVP. Guerrero is as fun to watch as any player in baseball. He plays the game like a little kid, only really freakin' well. It doesn't matter whether the ball is thrown at his head, a foot outside, or bounce in the dirt. Vlad can hit it. If he'd grown up in......

The Anaheim Angels have made a difficult business decision chosing to not re-sign Troy Glaus. After winning a World Series MVP and being one of the team's top players for several years, it seems perplexing that the Angels would led this borderline superstar go away at the tender age of 28. Granted, Glaus has been banged up recently, his performances are sometimes frustratingly inconsistent, his salary will probably be too high, and the Angels......

They love LA too. Anaheim Angels owner Arte Moreno has been in discussions with Major League Baseball to change the team's name to the Los Angeles Angels. Moreno has already done everything he can to LAize the team by removing the word "Anaheim" from team uniforms, schedules, tickets, and its web site. The Angels are also marketing heavily in the Los Angeles-area with billboards all over the city. And now a giant "Los Angeles......
