Game Recap 6/26/12: Mr.Overrated - Angels 7 Orioles 3
Looks like "Mr. Overrated" C.J Wilson is making it his personal mission to decimate every single player who voted him as most overrated starting pitcher, and since we can't really know who voted for him since these things are "anonymous" he's just gone ahead and decided to slice through every player in the league. Blind fury is what C.J Wilson has been...

His stolen base percentage against him is .750, leaving room to improve. Chris Iannetta, John Hester, and Hank Conger are .818, .857, and .714 respectively. None...
How C.J. WIlson's 'positive mental attitude' saved the Angels season
There is no crying in baseball, but apparently there is plenty of warm and fuzzy feelings or so the 2012 Angels season seems to suggest.

My oh My! Top play of the week for the Seattle Mariners (video)
How ’bout some D for once
This week I am going to be doing a defensive segment, instead of the usual offensive plays. There were a couple “web gems” to choose from, but the one I picked was Brendan Ryan throwing out Bobby Wilson on a very impressive play.
I know a lot of Mariners fans are fed up with the play of Brendan Ryan this year, I include myself in this list, but this...
C.J. Wilson pitches Angels past Blue Jays
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- The Los Angeles Angels shelled out big bucks to C.J. Wilson during the offseason because of his reputation for pitching deep into games and eating up innings. The fact that they don't have to face him anymore was just a bonus.
