- To put it mildly, Angel fans are pissed that Angel alum Joe Maddon failed to get either Halo representative into the All-Star Game.
- Arte Moreno has finally bought a permanent residence in Southern California, check it out.
- Check out Chone Figgins’ frenetic itinerary to try and get to St. Louis in time for the game (because it would have been awful for him to show up late to a game he never actually got to play in).
- Quick free agent speculation, but the Angels might be interested in recently waived Cleveland reliever Matt Herges. Not a bad idea in my opinion, it certainly couldn’t hurt to look at him for two weeks while assessing the trade market. At 39, Herges is no spring chicken, but he has good number this year although he has been getting beat up the last few weeks, prompting his release. With Rudy Seanez injured again, the Angels could use another ancient retread reliever to tryout for the bullpen.
