There is a lot of baseball watched in this household. Fortunately, the lady of the house does not mind and cheers just as hard for a specific team as this writer does. And certain in-family jokes occur all the time. For example, when the Mets' Duda comes to the plate or is mentioned in highlight packages, Foghorn Leghorn's rendition of Camptown Races is sung with gusto (and in character - DOODAH!). Another popular event is a mention of Mark Trumbo. Whenever his name is mentioned, you would hear: "Trumbo! Look at dose ears!" Mark Trumbo does not have big ears, but like the Disney character, he sure is flying.
Mike Trout is getting all the accolades and that is understandable. The Angels finally allowed the young player to get in the lineup every day and has become the most exciting young player in baseball today. Trout has more "tools" that Mark Trumbo. Heck, Trout has more tools than most human beings. But Trumbo is a big part of the resurgence of the ...

Mark Trumbo (credits below) Mark Trumbo simply continues to tear the cover off of the ball for the Angels. The big man went 2-for-3 from the plate on Sunday and knocked his 13th and 14th homers out of the park to go along with 6 RBI on the night. Over the past 14 days Trumbo has been the 3rd best fantasy player according to Yahoo!, and he's got multi position eligibility...

After all the time and effort and attention put into turning Mark Trumbo into a third baseman, Albert Pujols has played there more often than Trumbo over the past 35 games. With the Angels playing six consecutive interleague games in Colorado and Los Angeles without the DH, the Angels opted to move Pujols to third for a game in Colorado and start Kendrys Morales at first base in...

Trout continues to come up big for Angels
LOS ANGELES At some point, the superlatives are going to sound trite. How many times can you say good things about Mike Trout without going over the top, without anointing him The Next Great Player in the game?
Every time he does something special, it becomes a challenge to describe his talent, to put into words his enormous baseball skills. He's been compared to Mickey Mantle...

I don't know about you but this Angels team has been something of an enigma all year. Are they a power hitting team? Are they a pitching and defense squad? What on earth drives this team and how will we know it when we see it? Today I think we finally figured it out. This is Mike Trout's team. He is driving the engine and the rest of the boys are along for the ride. Angels...

They say that no lead is safe at Coors Field. Well, that should go double for anytime Ervin Santana is the one charged with protecting said lead at Coors Field. Leave it to good ol' Big Erv to take a 6-1 lead in the second inning and turn it into a ballgame that was a lot more interesting than it needed to be.
The point I think was best made by Victor Rojas and Mark Gubicza...

Trout, Harper should be All-Stars
The Angels' Mike Trout is a definite All-Star, and the Nationals' Bryce Harper should be in the game, too.
We are talking, quite possibly, about a baseball version of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, two once-in-a-generation players we'll be comparing for the next 20 years.
There is no other way to say it: Something will be terribly wrong if the two prodigies do not represent...

For those of you who know me personally, I am not a religious man. I don't think I've actually prayed for anything since I was a little boy. However, I now have a prayer to call my own. A prayer to my personal lord and savior Mike Trout. It goes a little something like this:
Our Trout who art in center (and sometimes left or right),hallowed be thy name.Thy MVP will...

Pujols, Trout keep it going for Angels
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly rolled the dice and Albert Pujols made him pay.
The Angels had Mike Trout on second base representing the go-ahead run in the ninth inning with Pujols at the plate and first base open, but Mattingly decided against walking him and pitching to cleanup hitter Mark Trumbo.
Pujols muscled a broken-bat single into left field with two outs in the top of...

The Los Angeles Angels are currently on a 14-4 run, resulting in them picking up five games in the AL West (in just three weeks!) and putting them within spitting distance of the Texas Rangers at the top of the division. Their southern California counterparts, the Los Angeles Dodgers, haven't had to make up ground. They've been in first place all year, and possess the...
