GAME 38 - ANGELS
DETROIT -- The streaking Angels won again Wednesday, routing the hapless Detroit Tigers, 10-1, before 12,314 at Comerica Park.

GAME 37 - ANGELS AT TIGERS
DETROIT -- Told the Seattle Mariners had lost Tuesday night, Angels manager Mike Scioscia responded: ''Did they? I didn't see.''

GAME 33 - TIGERS AT ANGELS
ANAHEIM -- The Angels spent most of April digging themselves a hole. And while there are those who believed they might have been buried as well, the Angels instead started climbing their way out of it.
They beat the Detroit Tigers, 7-6, Thursday night before 15,003 at Edison Field, going...

GAME 28 - ANGELS AT BLUE JAYS
TORONTO -- A bloop hit, an error, a walk and suddenly Troy Percival was in the eye of the storm again. The Angels closer, called upon to save a two-run lead in the ninth inning Friday night against the Toronto Blue Jays, didn't blink.
With the bases loaded and one out, Percival...

GAME 18 - ANGELS AT A’S
OAKLAND -- The Angels got a solid performance from their starting pitcher, played good defense and had timely hitting. But when their game against the Oakland A's ended, the Angels walked off the field with their heads down.

GAME 13 - RANGERS AT ANGELS
ANAHEIM -- First, Darin Erstad used his head. Then, he used
his bat.
After nearly taking down the outfield fence with his head in
an attempt to make a catch in second inning, Erstad lined a two-run double in
the bottom of the 10th inning to overcome a 5-4 deficit and give the Angels...

GAME 9 - MARINERS AT ANGELS
ANAHEIM -- Only moments after Angels manager Mike Scioscia held a closed-door meeting to tell his players to relax, right fielder Tim Salmon was doing anything but, taking batting practice in the underground cage.

GAME 8 - MARINERS AT ANGELS
ANAHEIM -- If the Angels wanted to make a statement, they
picked a bad time to come down with a case of laryngitis.
With the defending American League West champion Seattle
Mariners in town for a four-game series, the Angels figured it would be a good
way to see how they stacked...
Cast your vote for the retro hall of fame
Last week we asked for nominations for our first ever Bacon Sports Retro Hall of Fame and you guys came back with some gems. We’ve taken the list and chopped it up so that we don’t have any Brad Radke or Aaron Sele nominations (yes, they were both nominated for the baseball Hall of Fame and received votes). We pride ourselves on digging all things sports nostalgia and have higher...
Reign Delay?
As I was driving home the other night, I was listening to Casey Stern and Jim Bowden on the MLB Network Radio channel on XM. They were discussing with Jill Painter, the L.A. Daily News sports columnist, the Baseball Hall of Fame vote which took place Wednesday. This is the same Jill Painter, member of the Baseball Writers Association of America who thought it made perfect sense to...
Aaron Sele And Other Hall Of Fame Thoughts
Oh boy. So much Hall of Fame stuff to talk about, so little time. I am not sure I have the time, or space , to fully extrapolate on all of my Hall of Fame thoughts right now, but I will do my best to get to some main points. I am not even sure I know where to start? Or end, for that matter. So my apologies if my stream of consciousness goes on tangents that are hard to follow...
my 15 gripes of the Hall of Fame
I think the writers did a terrible job. Getting right to the point, here’s my problem with the Baseball Hall of Fame, the BBWAA, and the voting process.
1. In 1992, Tom Seaver received the largest percent of the the votes ever, 98.8%.
Seaver won 311 games, had a career ERA 2.86, compiled 3,640 strikeouts, was selected to 12 All Star teams, won Rookie of the Year, won 3 Cy Young...
The New York Times went with a blank page for its coverage of the Baseball Hall of Fame vote
As you already know, no one was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame for 2013. So that left those in the media with options on how they would cover the vote.
Some are focusing on the story-lines surrounding Bonds and Clemens. And some are busy trying to figure out who voted for Aaron Sele.
As for the New York Times, they decided to cover the vote in a more creative manner.
And the...
MMO Short Shots: Snubbings, Drubbings, And Aaron Sele
Check out this cool sketch from the very talented Chris Panetta who runs the popular Mets In Stitches. If you love these art blog posts like I do, I suggest you add this site to your favorites. A picture really is worth a thousand words. If I had his talent I would have sketched the gates of Cooperstown with a sign saying “Do Not Enter – By order of the BBWAA” . Anyway go check...

No Players Were Selected For Induction Into The Hall Of Fame
For the first time since 1996 and the second time in four decades, there weren’t any baseball players that were selected for induction into the Hall of Fame, says the Chicago Tribune.
Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Roger Clemens faced a jury Wednesday, and the jury decided that they weren’t worthy enough to be in the Hall of Fame. The reasoning behind that is pretty obvious ...
Cooperstown will remain dark this year
For the first time since 1996, the BBWAA (Baseball Writers Association of America) elected no one to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The ballot consisted of many repeat players such as Jack Morris making his 14th appearance but was littered with players linked to steroids such as Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
The *home run king* received 36.2% of the votes which was well short of the...
BBWAA Elects No One to 2013 Baseball Hall of Fame Class
For the first time since 1996 and eighth time in history, the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) has elected no one to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.
There were 37 players on the ballot with 569 ballots cast. They needed to receive 75% of the vote to get in.
Craig Biggio came the closest with 68.2% (338). Jack Morris, in his 14th...
No one selected for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2013
As many expected, in the first year marked by a significant number of PED users (or suspects), no players were selected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The top vote-getter was Craig Biggio, the slap-hitting model of consistency (and longevity) from the Houston Astros. Biggio got 68% of the vote, so I would say it's likely he will get in on future ballots (given that some voters...

For more than 30 years, Bill has made a science of studying past voting results for Cooperstown by the Baseball Writers Association of America and predicting who will get in. He does this with great accuracy, including predicting Barry Larkin's...
Cooperstown Choices: Aaron Sele
With the Hall Of Fame election announcement coming on January 9, 2013, it is time to review the ballot, go over the names, and decide who belongs in the Hall Of Fame.
There are twenty four men on the ballot for the first time this year and we will take a look at each one individually prior to official announcements. You can find all of the profiles in the I-70 Baseball Exclusives...
My Hall of Fame Ballot
I do not have a vote for the Hall of Fame. I am not a a member of the BWAA, I am simply a guy with a half-way decent blog. (Something you invariably know considering you’re reading) However, I can write a post about who I would vote for it I did have ballot, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
Before I begin, it’s important to clarify my positon a few things HOF relate...
