Dear Mike Trout,
Please stop making tremendous defensive plays. You're destroying everyone with your bat, and your defense is just as impeccable. Yoenis Cespedes is having a damn fine rookie year, and you just had to go ahead and rob him of a hit on Tuesday night in Anaheim, in addition to blowing him out of the water in the AL Rookie of the Year race.
XOXO, The American...

If you listen really close you can be reminded for the thousandth time that Mike Trout just turned 21 and gosh darn it, he’s only a rookie. Listen Mike Trout has had a great year. I’ll even go so far as to give him a semi-historical one. Because of that season at such a young age in his first year he is the slam-dunk, no doubt about it, put a bow on it Rookie of the Year for...

Wilson, their two big off-season acquisitions.But after enduring a miserable first month of the season, Trout was promoted, and the Angels took off. They went 18-12 in Trout’s first 30...
Mike Trout Highlight Video
It has been an exceptional season for Mike Trout who has already proven that he is the most versatile player in the MLB. Blazing speed, breath-taking gold glove catches, and being the leader of the Los Angeles Angels at just 21 years old is amazing. Determined to make his father Jeff proud, who played for the Minnesota Twins, the “Millville Meteor” is focused and poised to become...
Wells gets playing time at expense of slumping Trumbo

September 13, 2012
One of the lessons Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia had to learn early in the season was that young slugger Mark Trumbo needed to be an everyday presence in the lineup. That paid off, as Trumbo proved to be the team's most consistently productive hitter in the first half, earning his first All-Star selection. The lessons have changed now, however. With Trumbo in a...

The $100 million that separates the Oakland A's and the Los Angeles Angels in payroll is not nearly as startling as the 4 1/2 games that still separate them in the standings. By taking the first two games of a key four-game series in Anaheim between the two wild-card contenders, Oakland continues to hold the upper hand in the AL wild-card race -- an unexpected circumstance...

I'm just gonna throw my "giving a damn" card in a nearby and detach myself from any hopes of the Angels making the playoffs and getting used to seeing the Athletics in the playoffs. It's not that I don't think they still can't make it, it would be ridiculous to say they can't, but with the way they always put themselves in the perfect position to...

The A's were swept by the Los Angeles Angels in three games at Oakland last week. Hanging tenuously to the AL's top wild-card spot, the A's arrived at Anaheim for a four-game series that opened Monday, and Oakland smoothly took the first game 3-1 to move a season-high 20 games over .500. The A's now hold a 3 1/2-game lead on the Angels. The Baltimore Orioles,...

When a team's win streak is finally snapped, feelings of disappointment usually accompany the unfamiliar loss. However, tonight, I can't say I feel anywhere near disappointed in the game that I watched the Angels play.
Tonight's match a was a tough one for the Halos, only evident by the fact that they scored less runs than the opponent.
