We now interrupt your regularly scheduled playoff race hand-wringing to bring you this very important bulletin: Arte Moreno is getting dead serious about moving the Los Angeles Angels to the actual city (or at least county) of Los Angeles. How do we know this? Because, according to the LA Daily News, Arte Moreno recently held a meeting with stadium developers Majestic Realty.  This is now the second such group that Moreno has met with this year after holding taking with the AEG group who have a similar stadium project downtown.  Both stadium developers are more interested in building a stadium for a NFL team, so the level of their interest is hard to gauge.  Moreno's though, that is starting to look more keen and obvious. As you might know, the Angels have an out in their lease after the 2016 season.  As you might also know, Arte Moreno has long wanted to make the Angels an elite franchise in baseball.  He tipped his hand on that long ago when he changed the team name...

Wilson has closed-door meeting with Scioscia

Via Fox Sports West  |  September 20, 2012
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- A closed-door meeting in the manager's office is never a good sign, so the fact CJ Wilson spent a considerable amount of time with Angels manager Mike Scioscia on Thursday afternoon probably indicated they had lots to talk about. It can be assumed Scioscia did most of the talking. Discounting a start in Texas that was shortened to one-third of an inning because...

Scioscia won't budge on Greinke's pitch limit

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 21, 2012
The Los Angeles Angels thought they were getting an elite-level pitcher when they acquired Zack Greinke in a trade before the July 31 deadline. After a slow start, it has proven to be true. Greinke is 4-0 with a 1.60 ERA over his past six starts, allowing no more than two runs or five hits in any of those outings. However, he apparently came with limitations. For the second consecutive...

Little things are very costly for the Angels

Via Fox Sports West  |  September 20, 2012
ANAHEIM, Calif. In the closing weeks of the season, with a playoff spot on the line, little things can make a big difference. One mistake can cost a game. One base-running error can stop a big inning. One loss can sink a season. The Angels spent Wednesday night lamenting all the little things that went wrong against the Texas Rangers. They lost a game, lost a day in their season...

Angels OF Vernon Wells falls over outfield wall trying to catch home run (Video)

Via Holdout Sports  |  September 19, 2012
Los Angeles Angels left fielder Vernon Wells went head over heels over the outfield wall, but failed to catch a home run ball hit by Texas Rangers 2B Ian Kinsler during Tuesday night's MLB game at Anaheim. It happened in the top of the third inning as Kinsler hit the ball to deep left field. Wells timed his jump well, but realized he had no chance as the ball reached the...

Vernon Wells Jumps Over Left Field Wall, Tumbles into the Stands (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  September 19, 2012
Vernon Wells earned hustle points. But that's about it. In the third inning of Tuesday's game against the Rangers, the Angels outfielder aggressively chased Ian Kinsler's fly ball and leaped into the left-field stands, hoping to make a spectacular catch. But Kinsler's blast ultimately cleared the wall, resulting in an embarrassing tumble for Wells. Wells then needed...

Vernon Wells jumps over wall chasing home run

Via Reading Between The Seams  |  September 19, 2012
In a hilarious attempt to make what would have been an unbelievable play, Angels outfielder Vernon Wells went head first over the outfield wall. The Angels are trying to get back into the wild card race and efforts like this is what manager Mike Scioscia has to love. I have a feeling this will be on all the bloopers videos of the 2012 MLB season. Check it out! The post Vernon Wells...

Angels beat White Sox behind Santana

Via Fox Sports West  |  September 22, 2012
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Ervin Santana struck out 11 while pitching seven innings of two-hit ball and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Chicago White Sox 6-2 on Friday night to gain ground in the playoff race. Mike Trout and Kendrys Morales homered for Los Angeles, which pulled within 3 games of Oakland for the second AL wild card. The Athletics lost 2-1 to the New York Yankees in...

Game Recap 9/18/12: Fantastico - Angels 11 Rangers 3

Via Monkey with a Halo  |  September 19, 2012
This is perfect. On so many levels. If only those trolltastic Mariners would just end it against the Orioles. The Angels need to pick this game up on the Orioles fast, the schedule doesn't get much easier for a while so if the Angels are serious about making the playoffs they'll smash through the Rangers. Good start so far.  I really didn't think the Angels...

Rangers 3, Angels 1

Via AP on Fox  |  September 21, 2012
Adrian Beltre hit a tiebreaking two-run homer off Angels closer Ernesto Frieri in the ninth inning, and the Texas Rangers dealt yet another blow to Los Angeles' fading playoff hopes with a 3-1 victory Thursday night. Yu Darvish (16-9) held the Angels to four hits and struck out nine in a scintillating eight-inning duel with Zack Greinke, who gave up five hits and struck out...

Whether Trout or Cabrera wins AL MVP, prepare for outrage

Via The Outside Corner  |  September 20, 2012
Ask anyone who the AL MVP should be... OK, not anyone, that homeless guy that lives beneath the underpass near the freeway on-ramp you take to get to work probably doesn't have a ready answer, but ask any baseball fan who the AL MVP should be and you are certain to get a very definitive answer.  They will tell you that the answer is clear and not even remotely up for debate...

Game Recap 9/20/12: ErnestNOOO! - Rangers 3, Angels 1

Via Monkey with a Halo  |  September 21, 2012
To quote John McClane, "How can the same **** happen to the same guy twice?" Aside from the fact that this game might very well spell the end of the Angels' season, the only thing that anyone is going to remember this game for is Mike Scioscia once again pulling Zack Greinke during a great start in favor of Ernesto Frieri.  The same Ernesto Frieri who spoiled...
