Today is a wonderful day. It is a wonderful day because we finally get to see what the Angels got in the blockbuster deal for Jeff Mathis. That's right, folks, the one, the only Brad Mills makes his debut. A debut that was anticipated by absolutely nobody!
Alright, maybe I oversold it a little bit. Mills is likely a Quadruple-A arm at best and his appearance today is one he is making out of necessity, not out of merit. His job is to just get the Angels to the break and nothing more. Heck, he doesn't even need to go deep into the game. In fact, I'd be surprised if he makes it out of the fourth inning if only because Mike Scioscia knows he can empty the bullpen at the first sign of trouble knowing that everyone is about to get several days of r...

The Los Angeles Angels are in the thick of the AL West and AL Wildcard races. That’s the good news. The bad news is the pitching staff is staggering. Ervin Santana has struggled mightily and 5th starter Garrett Richards was optioned to Triple A on July 6th. To make matters worse, Dan Haren just landed on the DL for the first time in his career. This puts the Angels in a tight...

Trout ties Angels rookie stolen base record
The last time any Los Angeles Angel had 26 stolen bases before the All-Star break, the Angels were called the California Angels.
Along with Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, Los Angeles' Mike Trout has been putting together quite an impressive season for someone who can't even legally drink in the United States.
In fact, his season has been so impressive thus...

Scott Kazmir pitched for the Sugar Land Skeeters on Sunday. It was his first outing with the independent league team, and the first time he has pitched since he retired one batter and allowed four runs in the Dominican Winter League.
No box scores online, so far as I can tell, but there's a game story on the Skeeter's website.

How does it feel, rest of baseball? Finally, the Angels are on the positive end of having an unknown starter come in and baffle the lineup based sheerly on being an unknown quantity.

It was a long road back for Eric Hurley. A first-round draft pick in 2004 and once the top-ranked pitching prospect in the Texas Rangers system, Hurley has not pitched in the big leagues since July 2008. He has another chance after the Los Angeles Angels recalled him from Class AAA Salt Lake. He has endured a long list of injuries, topped by shoulder surgery in 2009. Hurley made...
