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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
