Pitcher Brandon McCarthy visits A's teammates
Oakland Athletics pitcher Brandon McCarthy stopped by the clubhouse to visit his teammates Friday, just more than a week after getting hit in the head with a line drive.
He was his usual jokester and worked on a crossword puzzle.
''I told him he should fill in a crossword and put a bunch of letters backward,'' reliever Jerry Blevins said. ''He said, `I&...

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...

The Los Angeles Angels got their ace back Thursday afternoon. It wasn't just that Jered Weaver returned to the rotation after 10 days due to biceps tendinitis. It was the Weaver they got back -- the one who went 15-1 with a 2.13 ERA in his first 20 starts this season. While pitching with the discomfort in his arm, which he described as a "bite," Weaver was 1-3 with...

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...

Fortunately for him he went through successful skull surgery and was able to leave the hospital yesterday. After realizing what he had just been through McCarthy was in good spirits which resulted in him...

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...

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...

Roller coasters are supposed to be fun. Their steel structures stand tall against the backdrop of the sky, and as they barrel down their pre-determined course, one can hear children screaming in delight through ups, downs, loops, switches and unexpected twists and turns.
Playoff race roller coasters are not so fun.

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...

One way or another, Angels fans were going to take a step off the ledge following today's game. But instead of stepping forward to a big plat-induced demise as I am sure many distraught followers expected, they got to calmly and cooly step backwards, off the ledge and onto stable ground. Sweet, sweet stable ground.
