Here are some updates on guys I covered earlier in the year and where I expect them to be for the rest of the season:
Albert Pujols – When I last wrote about him a few months ago, he had an OPS below .600. I remember people talking about how he was struggling to adjust to American League pitching. Since then he’s been getting to know them, getting to know all about them. The...

Adrian Beltre had already hit three home runs by the end of the fourth inning in Texas on Wednesday night. He failed to hit his fourth in both of his last two at bats, thus failing to become the 18th player in MLB history to hit four in the same game and having to settle for being the fifth player to have a three homer game in both the regular and postseason. Sadly, none of the...

Let's face it, the Angels have been shrouded by negativity for much of the last month. Not even C.J. Wilson's famed Positive Mental Attitude has been able to fend it off (it also hasn't helped him #throwstrikes either). I could sit here and offer some insight on the struggling rotation or the lousy bullpen or the tenuous job security of every member of the coaching...

So, that just happened.
Wow, what a game. And I say that as a guy who didn't watch any of it, as my Angels TV boycott remains in effect. But even monitoring it over Gameday and Twitter, I think it is safe to say that it was the craziest game of the year by far. Or at least the craziest game that didn't make Angel fans want to impale themselves on a lawn sprinkler...
