Game Rewind: Do the Running Man – Angels 6, Mariners 5

Last night was not only reminiscent of classic Angels baseball, but also of a classic action movie. No longer satisfied with the ups and downs of a largely powerless line-up, Mike Scioscia decided that the Angels needed to make their own luck against King Felix last...

Halo Headlines – 5/20/09

The Angels have dropped Howie Kendrick to ninth in the order but are still hoping for him to turn things around.  If Howie keeps struggling though, sooner or later the Halos are going to have to look elsewhere.  Meanwhile, Sean Rodriguez has 14 dingers and 1.029 OPS...

Game Rewind: Morales Mashes Mariners – Angels 10, Mariners 6

Halo Headlines – 5/19/09

PUFF PIECE ALERT: Darren Oliver gets some much deserved love as the Angels’ on reliable reliever right now. A’s catcher Kurt Suzuki is starting a fund to raise money for Jon Wilhite, the lone survivor of the Nck Adenhart car crash.  Kind of makes it hard...

Weekend Rewind: Rangers Sweep Angels

It is one thing for the Texas Rangers to sweep the Angels, these things happen from time to time.  It is quite another thing to sweep the Angels AND steal their uniforms at the same time. Which one is the Angel?  Your guess is as good as mine. I mean, I know they say,...
