The Story: Kendry Morales is progressing well in his rehab. The Monkey Says: This is nice and all, but we still aren’t going to see Morales until the 2011 season. At least this news makes it sound a little more like he might be fully recovered when next...
An Angel series win over the Rangers in which the Angels nearly swept Texas but for Vlad Guerrero, but are still happy to settle for a series win over their rival. Game 1 – Angels 6, Rangers 5 Game 2 – Rangers 6, Angels 4 Game 3 – Angels 2, Rangers 1 Los Angeles...
All is right with the world again. Sure, there is still a gushing oil leak in the gulf and the economy is still in the crapper, but at least order has been restored to the Angel line-up with Jeff Mathis returning from the DL and finally remembering that he really,...

The Story: The Angels will focus on offensive depth, especially at first, at the trade deadline. The Monkey Says: That the word “depth” is being used makes me think they aren’t looking at all for a big name player at the deadline. It would also be...
The Story: Jason Bulger is getting close to a return. The Monkey Says: That would be welcome news. The pen has actually held up well without him, but another live arm never hurt anyone. The Story: Where is Torii Hunter’s All-Star support? The Monkey Says:...
The Story: Still waiting on Erick Aybar. The Monkey Says: Aybar got a cortisone shot in his knee yesterday and the team still has yet to decide if he is going to be placed on the DL, though it is sounding more and more likely. It is also worth noting that the story...
