Halo Headlines – 6/9/09

Ken Rosenthal believes that the Angels are looking to swap Gary Matthews for another overpaid bum and are very open to the idea of trading Erick Aybar and promoting Brandon Wood (yes, please). The Angels continue to be linked with drafting a lot of power-hitting...

The Rest of the West: 6/8/9 Edition

Another week gone by and the Angels still aren’t in first place.  This does not compute.  Such a lousy division, yet the Halos are still handily trailing the Texas Rangers at four games back.  Worse yet, the rest of the division is only just behind them.  How...

Halo Headlines – 6/8/09

Unbelievably, the a-hole that killed Nick Adenhart is pleading not guilty.  I can’t wait to hear what his defense for having a blood-alchohol content of nearly three times the legal limit is. It sounds like the Angels are finally starting to reach a breaking...

Weekend Rewind: More Frustration – Angels Drop Two to Tigers

Why do the Angels insist on making it so hard to be positive about them? I should be writing now about how excited I am to see that Ervin Santana’s arm is actually OK after all.  I should be following that up with glowing remarks on Kelvim Escobar’s...

Halo Headlines – 6/5/09

Steve Bisheff points out that the Angel line-up lacks power.  This is news? Speaking of power, Mike Scioscia isn’t too worried about the recent lack of power from the team.  And why should he?  The Angels have lacked power for years and it has never really...

Game Rewind: It’ll Work – Angels 6, Blue Jays 5

That wasn’t exactly the kind of win the Halos were hoping for, but they’ll take it. They did pretty much everything humanly possible to throw the game away, but still managed to sneak out of Ontario with an unlikely series win.  But even in victory the...

Good vs. Evil: What To Do About Howie Kendrick

With the starting rotation almost completely healthy and the bullpen slowly rounding back into somewhat reliable form (not jinxing it, not jinxing it) the biggest debate in Angel Nation is what to do with Howie Kendrick.  The purported future batting champion has gone...

Halo Headlines – 6/4/09

Torii Hunter sits down for an interview with David Ortiz on his season premiere episode of “Hanging With Mr. Hunter”.  Not bad, Torii, but it would have been more interesting if you asked Big Pop-up if he can’t hit this season because he quit the...
