Ervin Santana’s Comeback, Take 2

All eyes will be set on Southern California for the most anticipated return to the field all season… Oh, right.  I forgot about him. OK, so maybe a few of those eyes will find their way to Anaheim tonight for the second biggest comeback story of the evening when...

Trade Talk: Why Haren?

All that beating up of the NL West really seems to have gone to the Angels’ heads.  After slapping around their National League counterparts the last two weeks, the Angel front office must have thought they could do whatever they pleased to the NL West and...

Free Agency Ideas – Get Sheets

So much for the undefeated season.  Matt Palmer got totally rocked tonight (get it?  Rockies?  Rocked?  I am sure I will be the only to think of that.  I’m awesome). Psst.  I can’t get anyone out, don’t tell anybody. Two forces of nature met in...
