- Better late than never, but Joe Maddon put in a phone call to Mike Scioscia to apologize for not getting Fuentes and Figgins into the All-Star Game.
- Next year’s All-Star Game will be hosted in Anaheim and the Angel contingent is taking notes from the festivities this year in St. Louis.
- It must be opposite year, for the first time in a long time the Angels are looking for arms instead of bats at the trade deadline.
- Eddie Bane is talking as if the Angels will be major players for fireballing Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman who is allegedly a tremendous prospect.
- Jon Wilhite, the lone survivor of the Nick Adenhart crash, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Angels game this Saturday. I predict a lot of men in getting something in their eyes during that moment.
