I’ve got nothing against make-up games, as a rule, but this one couldn’t be coming at a worse time. The Halos are already battling the fatigue that comes with a long season, but now they are being forced to forfeit one of their precious off days so that...
The Story: The Angels failed to come up with a firm payroll number for next year at the recent organizational meetings. The Monkey Says: This is slightly concerning given the slew of big free agents they have on their roster. The sooner GM Tony Reagins knows how...

Just 25 games left in the red hot MLB season and the Angels are embroiled in a red hot divisional race and they themselves are… decidedly lukewarm. Just a few weeks ago, the Halos were rattling off 15 wins in 20 games and building a nice cushion over the...
9/9/09, what a perfect day for the Angels to pick up their ninth win of the season against the Seattle Mariners. Nine is tonight’s lucky number! As if that weren’t enough, the Angels will be facing Ian Snell who currently has nine losses on the year to go...
