Another week, another batch of real tweets from real Angel players. This week we learn all the wrong ways to commemorate Valentine's Day. SPOILER ALERT: Bird poop is prominently involved. C.J. Wilson would like to share with you what he did for Valentine's Day: Taking mom to lunch for valentine's day- gorgeous in Tempe today. Had my first bullpen and workout with the new team today- baseball's here! — C.J. Wilson (@str8edgeracer) February 14, 2012 Most of Angels Nation saw that tweet and got excited to see Wilson was already working out with the team. Me, all I saw was that this guy has $77.5 million and the only date he can get for Valentine's Day is his mom. I think I might be a jerk, then again, maybe C.J. Wilson just needs a reminder of the kind of wool rich, famous, good-looking athletes can pull. You know who All-Star Evan Longoria spent Valentine's Day with? Playboy playmate Jamie Edmondson. Step up your game C.J.! You were just in a c...

Angels: Looks like a big season at the Big A

Signings of Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson add strength to the lineup and rotation, making this a potentially great year for the Angels.Reporting from Tempe, Ariz. -- The Angels have so much depth on offense that their leading run producer from 2011 could be fighting for at-bats as a utility player, and a three-time All-Star outfielder could be discarded like a worn-out batting glove.

Mets sending scouts to see former prospect Scott Kazmir

Scott Kazmir has not been getting a lot of attention from teams as he attempts to make a comeback, and understandably so.
