Way to ruin for everyone, Ervin Santana. The Angels were one game away from a four-game sweep of the Twinkies and extending their winning streak to nine before Ervin Santana imploded (again) on Sunday to spoil the fun. Oh, well, you can’t win them all. Two out...

Alright, that’s it, I give up. Joe Saunders officially sucks. I thought he could work this out on his own and get back on track, but then he had to go and give up six runs to the freaking Kansas City Royals. Everyone (especially Rex Hudler) insists that...

The Story: Arte Moreno says the Angels are still interested in acquiring an ace like Roy Halladay or Cliff Lee. The Monkey Says: So much for playing it close to the vest, Arte. I like that the Angels are being aggressive but they need to fix the bullpen first. The...

I’ll be honest, last night’s game was incredibly exciting thanks to yet another Halo late-inning comeback, but it could have been a lot more fun had the opponent not been so utterly pathetic. The Royals are in such disarray right now that I don’t...
