One win and suddenly all seems right with the world. Except that Maicer Izturis is still hitting third (and no, I am not letting this go any time soon). The Angels showed a remarkable amount of grit last, pulling out a win despite trailing early and dealing with an...

Angelic Links – 4/22/09

An interesting evaluation of Mike Scioscia’s line-up chicanery. From the “I hate being right” department: The Angels are already starting to spin about Vlad’s uncertain return date.  I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.  There is...
