By Adam Dodge - Angelswin.com Senior WriterI was fortunate enough to catch up with the King Fish last Thursday night before I headed to New York for the weekend. We let you know about his event on Saturday, May 9th at Angel Stadium last week. Here is the entire interview, uncut.Angelswin.com: What are your thoughts on this year’s Angel team, especially considering all of the tough things which have gone on in the first month of the season?Tim Salmon: Well I think it is kind of a fortunate situation in that I don’t think the division is that strong. I don’t think the other teams in the division are going to be able to take advantage of some of the issue the Angels are facing…playing .500 basically. I think that when some of the guys get back and healthy again it’s going to be real tough on the rest of the division.Angelswin.com: So do you see the Angels running away with the division when it is all said and done?Tim Salmon: I think so. While Oakland has improved a little bit and Se...

A story about steroids in baseball that nobody is interested in
Former Red Sox Lou Merlini:
“I’m in spring training, and I got an 8:30-9:00 meeting in the morning. I walk into that office, and this happened while I was with the Boston Red Sox before this last regime, I’m sitting in the meeting. There’s a doctor up there and he’s talking about steroids, and everyone was like ‘here we go, we’re gonna sit here and get the whole thing—they’re...

When you put aside the notion that he cheated the game of baseball for his own personal gain, what most people are generally upset about in regards to Barry Bonds and steroids is that he broke Hank Aaron’s home run record. Not only was he allegedly juicing, but in doing so, he also broke one [...]

Stop me if you’ve heard something like that before. It’s pretty well known that the Pirates are one of the more frugal teams in baseball. They haven’t had a winning season since the days Barry Bonds’ waist was wider than his head and they’re perpetually in rebuilding mode. They do have a [...]

Let’s face it, we sports experts claim to have an eagle’s eye when it comes to spotting chemical cheaters among pro athletes, but honestly, do we? Sure, we sniffed out Barry Bonds, but we always held up Manny and A-Rod as the “clean” guys by comparison. Whoops. And for some reason, we’re ignoring the 330-pound [...]

Mr Mets Daily - All good things must come to an end....
The Mets winning streak ended the other night, sadly. Now, the Mets have lost a series. The Mets lost this afternoon at Citi Field to the Atlanta Braves by the score of 8-7 in twelve innings.

There were several things to be happy about, not the least of...

Dear Roger,Please go away. Just because you aren't relevant for the first time in over two decades, it doesn't mean you should just call into a radio show and start blasting on a book that no one had any idea was coming out.There is a place where old roided players go. That place is wherever Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Rafael Palmeiro went. They live in seclusion...

One Mans Opinion - Thank God for Jeter's demise
One thought for these times of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs; it's nice to see NY Yankee future hall of famer Derek Jeter stay old school. And by that I mean getting worse as the years go by, naturally. Mr. Jeter's skills, especially in the field, have gone down significantly. Now if he was Barry Bonds he would still be several years away from becoming the...

Quick Hits: Ordonez, Bonds, Peavy, Papelbon
Quick Hits:
Tigers outfielder Magglio Ordonez is off to a terrible start, hitting just .241 with 2 homeruns in 30 games. The Tigers will owe Ordonez 18 million dollars if he reaches 457 plate appearances this season. He almost certainly will reach that number, unless he lands on the disabled list or the Tigers choose not to play him, which would likely result in a grievance. If...
