Bill Plunkett tries to pinpoint where the Angels bullpen is going wrong.  I’ll save him the time, half of the bullpen is composed of guys who aren’t ready for the bigs. At least one of the relievers seems to have a legit excuse for his early struggles. ...

Weekend Rewind: I Am Not Going to Panic

The Angels had a rough weekend and are off to a 4-8 start.  Things are going horribly now, but I am not going to panic. The Halos got swept by the struggling Twins, but I am not going to panic. The vaunted Angels bullpen coughed up two leads to contribute to the...

Game Recap: Mariners 11, Angels 3 – Welcome to Last Place

So this is what last place looks like, eh?  Haven’t been down here in awhile.  Conditions certainly haven’t improved since last time.  Excuse us if we don’t stay long. Once again, the Angels fell apart against the Mariners.  The first half of the...
