While the Los Angeles Angels have struggled across the board in the early going, the bullpen may be the club's biggest long-term issue. Coming into Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay, Angels relievers had a cumulative 5.08 earned-run average.

It’s April 26th, so it’s just too early to jump to any conclusions based on what has happened thus far in 2012. There are 140+ games still to go in the season, and as we’ve seen before, the standings at the end of April often don’t look like the standings at the end of September. Three weeks of baseball shouldn’t have changed our minds too much about what we believed to...

The Anaheim Angels right now are one atrocious MLB Baseball team. As far as I see it we can blame it all on Albert Pujols. They have no setup pitchers, aging talent everywhere, and some massive bum named Vernon Wells. Lets not get it twisted, Vernon Wells is much worse than Pujols  its just Pujols makes $25 Million a year…..wait Wells makes $14 Million. Well at least Mike Scioscia...

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--Throughout spring training, Angels first baseman Albert Pujols downplayed speculation that it might be difficult to adjust to a new league and a new set of pitchers after spending his first 11 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals.
All the National League pitchers were new to Pujols when he broke into the big leagues in 2001, Pujols reasoned, and that wasnt...

In a press conference at the Winter Meetings, Angels GM Jerry Dipoto was asked why Albert Pujols was worth a long-term deal when so many other stars have disappointed. Here’s Dipoto:
I'll say this, that in regard to the evolution of a hitter, as hitters begin to age, into their 30s, to whatever point you can project, there's a certain quality or trait in a hitter...

Okay, that was a really bad joke, but I hope you get the point.
Pujols went 0-for-4 in the Angels’ 5-0 loss against the Tampa Bay Rays last night. That marked his fourth hit-less game in a row.
He’s also batting .232 with only four RBI, and none of those RBI came off of any of his home runs – that’s probably because he hasn’t hit any yet.
Is this what Pujols gets for ditching...

Come on now, come on guys. Seriously, there's no way this is happening for real guys. No way Santana goes and gives up 4 home runs in 5 innings to add to his terrible losing streak which has now extended to four games. His ERA is so horribly ugly that's I intentionally won't write it just to save you from the horrors that would be sure to come if you laid your eyes on...

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer Albert Pujols has hit soaring fly balls that died on the warning track. He has hit several liners deep into the gaps, and he produced a smoking drive that barely caught the top of the left-field wall.
Yet during his 16 games with the Los Angeles Angels, the $240 million slugger still hasn't cleared...

Coming into the 2012 season, the Los Angeles Angels were the most hyped team in baseball following the signings of Albert Pujols and CJ Wilson. After 18 games, the Angels are in the basement of the AL West with a 6-12 record. Only the pathetic Twins and Royals have worse records in the AL. Their -10 run differential is fourth worst in the AL, behind the aforementioned Twins and Royals...

The Wednesday Takeaway
When the Angels added Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson this offseason, general manager Jerry DiPoto and owner Arte Moreno were hoping to change the landscape of the AL West, to instantly turn a team that finished 10 games behind the Rangers in the division last year into a contender.
After a 3-2 loss to the Rays yesterday—coupled with a 7-3 Rangers winâ€...

It wasn't supposed to go this way. The Angels committed over $320 million to free agents Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson over the winter and instantly became the offseason champions, picked by some to reach the World Series and by almost all to fight it out with the Texas Rangers in the AL West. Three weeks into the regular season, though, the Angels are 6-12, having spotted...

While the Los Angeles Angels had a mostly successful weekend, it was a miserable three days at the plate for Albert Pujols.
The slugger will try again to get on track when the Angels open a three-game road series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.
Los Angeles took two of three from Baltimore over the weekend, though it couldn't complete the sweep Sunday, losing 3...
