http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/570 Recent articles about Ervin Santana en-us (Getty Images)By David Saltzer - AngelsWin.com ColumnistIt was with much sadness that I got out the ladder and took down my Angels flag this week. With that act another Angels baseball season ended. No longer would I hear the sweet sound of a bat hitting a ball or the chatter of a game. The darkest part of the year had begun.But, unlike Matthew Pouliot who blogged after Sunday’s game that the Angels should be embarrassed about their loss to the Yankees, I’m not. I watched this team from the f...

Mariano Rivera is due to bat third in the inning, who walked and drove in a run this year. Francisco Cervelli pinch hits, however, with two out. Update: Cevelli strikes out.

Forget the speed gun. Ervin Santana is never going to get better than he is now, for one simple reason. He doesn't think he needs to. Listen to John Lackey after a loss. He growls like a bear without food. You get the feeling he'd scratch the other team's eyes out to get a win. You want quotes? Lackey's are usually concise: "I stunk." That's why he's so good.
