VS. Counting down to the Angels’ Freeway Series against the Dodgers in which the Angels will be looking to kick the Dodgers while they are down. Los Angeles Dodgers (38-31) @ Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (39-33) Game 1 Starters: LAD – Clayton Kershaw (7-3, 2.96 ERA) ...
The Story: Bobby Wilson is the Angels’ secret weapon. The Monkey Says: The 10-1 record seems like a fluke, but the Halos might as well keep going to the well until it runs dry. Don’t expect Wilson to become Weaver’s personal catcher either as that...
I’m battling a nasty virus or something, so as much as I would like to write something particularly poignant or insightful, you’ll all just have to settle for this month’s edition of Monkeying Around. I feel like this monkey looks. Kendry Morales...
