Not a fan of Fernando Rodney becoming the new Angel closer? Neither am I, but I’m here to tell you that you better get used to the idea, because Rodney probably isn’t vacating the role anytime soon.
Like it or not, this is your new closer for the foreseeable future.

Poor Mike Napoli. The Angels don’t seem to want to play him, but they won’t trade him either? The guy just can’t win. After the events of the last few weeks, one has to wonder what the Angels’ plan is for Mike Napoli (assuming the Angels even have one).
No matter what Napoli does, he can’t help but strike out with Angel management.

I’m going to make this one short and sweet because every time I think about this series, I get violently nauseous. Not only did the Angels get swept at home (completing the season sweep, by the way) by the AL worst Baltimore Orioles, but they scored ONE FREAKING RUN the entire series.

The Angels’ late season mini fire sale has begun. The Halos have traded oft-maligned closer Brian Fuentes to the Minnesota Twins for a player to be named later. While Fuentes has been pitching quite well lately, it isn’t likely he will be missed very much.
So long, Tito. Don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you.
