Sunday Funday, Thank the Lord; Angels dirty White Sox 6-2
After a rather tumultuous series against the White Sox the Angels managed to keep the final game of the series under their control the entire 9 innings to record a much needed win. New ace of the staff Jason Vargas put up another 0'fer in 7 IP, though he lost his command at times leading to 3 walks in a 114 pitch out, although he did strike out 6. The Angels offense has settled...
The Highs and Lows of the Game, Angels win a wild one 12-9
This is the kind of game that drives Angels fans crazy. The start of the game brought with all the usual heartbreak of a Joe Blanton start. Then all of a sudden an unknown reliever bails them out and the offense starts hitting the cover off the ball. Just when it looks like a laugher, the bullpen comes in and mucks it all up as the opposing team storms back. Finally, the Halos add...

Dipoto's rotation plan: flawed or bad luck?
In the wake of consecutive arson jobs by Joe Blanton and Barry Enright, the rotation that Jerry Dipoto has come under fire. Well, that's not true, it has been under fire since the first week of the season, but the level of WTF when it comes to the starting pitching is now palpable. How could a GM make over a rotation that struggled last season and somehow replace it with a new...
How do these starting pitchers still have jobs?
As the baseball season heads passed the quarter pole, the players that are struggling are running out of excuses. Proclamations of bad luck and small sample size simply don't hold much weight anymore. At this point, teams need to make the tough decision of whether or not to stick with a struggling player to hope he turns things around or to cut their losses and move on to someone...
Fielding-Independent Game Recap
Monday night saw a hot competition in warm conditions in southern California, as Joe Blanton and the Angels played host to Luis Mendoza and the Royals. The Angels, predicted by many before the year to advance to the World Series, were looking to turn their fourth-place season around before a partisan audience. The Royals, predicted by many before the year to play the role of American...
Another Blanton stinker sinks the Angels as they fall 11-4 to the Royals
Joe Blanton is slowly robbing me of my will to live. I really can't handle another one of his starts and I'm not sure the Angels already microscopic hopes of turning this season around can either.
After having three not terrible starts against three terrible offenses, Blanton reverted back to becoming the Human Batting Practice machine. There is no sense describing it...
Blanton not fazed despite early struggles
ANAHEIM, Calif. Joe Blanton is fine. The Angels are not.
In their first game home after a six-game road trip, the Angels had some good vibes about their new direction. But now there is every reason to wonder if theyre again falling into a familiar rut.
Blanton was roughed up by the Kansas City Royals in an 11-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Monday night. Just like that, a...
Royals 11, Angels 4

Beckett, Blanton belong on bench
Start 'Em
Dan Haren (@LAD, @SD)
His figures (5.17 ERA and 1.49 WHIP) don't convey a pitcher who merits starter status, but aside from his season opener versus Cincinnati (four innings, nine hits, six earned runs) and his latest outing against Detroit (six innings, nine hits, four runs), Haren has a more manageable 3.81 ERA in his five other appearances. Taking on the...
Royals face struggling Angels in Los Angeles
(AP) -- Though it's only mid-May, few could have guessed Kansas City would have a better record than the Los Angeles Angels, who have a payroll roughly 60 million more than the Royals'.
That may not be the case much longer, though, if Kansas City can't snap out of its funk as it begins a nine-game road trip Monday night against Los Angeles.
The Royals (18-16) have finished...
MLB Game Picks - Monday: May 13, 2013
Picking baseball games is a humbling thing. I was celebrating two mornings ago to one of the best days of picking ever. And since then, the picks have gone 13-17. That's the way it goes it seems. You cannot predict that Scott Feldman would throw a gem and that the Nationals bullpen would blow the game at the same time. You cannot predict that Ryan Dempster would yield three...

Top AAA Starting Pitchers
If the Baltimore Orioles can get Jair Jurrjens to pitch like he did for the Atlanta Braves from 2008-2011 they will have a serious shot at winning the American League East. His numbers in the minors are a very positive sign! Do the Los Angeles Angels have any other choice than to call up either Billy Buckner and/or Matt Shoemaker? I know its the bats fault that they are not...
Worst team in baseball loses to the second worst team; Angels fall to the Astros, 3-1
Another ho-hum game. Another terrible showing from what has become a laughing stock of a baseball team. How many more ways can a blogger write about this flaming pile of hot garbage that is the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?
Let's see. They have lost two in a row to the Astros, the purportedly worst team in all of Major League Baseball. Joe Blanton did his best to keep the...
Why the Angels Need to Sweep Houston by: Steve Granado (@SteveGranado)
It’s no mystery that the Angels have been struggling to put
together wins so far this season. A lot
of questions surround the clubhouse and the coaching staff, and this Astros
series may be the biggest series so far.
The Halos are under the microscope. They have only 11 wins
this season, and only four of those have come on the road. They haven’t won a
series since sweeping...
Blanton Shows Up, Offense Doesn't; Angels Lose to Orioles 5- 1
Joe Blanton showed up tonight. The rest of the Angels? Nope. Joe came in and threw 8 strong innings (an Angels first) giving up 2 earned runs. Chris Tillman, the Fountain Valley High kid, just wanted it more. He came in and shutdown the Halos through 8 innings, giving up only 3 hits. The Big Four combined to go 2- 14, with Pujols’ homer coming too little too late...
Orioles' Tillman stymies Angels
Chris Tillman returned to his hometown and outpitched Joe Blanton with eight scoreless innings of three-hit ball, right fielder Nick Markakis threw out Mike Trout at the plate and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-1 Thursday night in the opener of a four-game series.
Markakis also hit an RBI double and Nate McLouth hit a two-run homer in the ninth, a drive to center...
