Angels white hot, win 6th straight over Royals
Streaks are strange beasts. Winning or losing is often arbitrary and not always the outcome of the better team playing better. When a team gets on a winning streak, many will attribute it to players feeling more comfortable, or an easier part of the schedule. These factors are surely at play when it comes to the Angels current 6 game winning streak that has seen them now climb to...

GAME 45 - TWINS AT ANGELS
ANAHEIM -- Location, location, location.
Angels pitcher Ramon Ortiz can be as dominating as any pitcher in the majors when he is on his game. That means mixing his fastball with his slider and changeup and putting it in the right spot.
Ortiz, though, had trouble hitting those spots...
VIDEO: Idiot KC fan runs on field, steals rosin bag, earns tweet response from Angel reliever
Last night's Angels-Royals game was an eventful one between tape measure home runs, copious pitching changes and a narrowly avoided blown save. Still, the Angels managed to win their fifth game in a row, yet that is not the highlight of the game. That distinction goes to the insane and/or brave Royals fan who sprinted on the field and avoided security long enough that he not...

BRYCE WHO?
Broadcast features error-ridden graphic
It seemed like a reasonable enough question posed during the Fox Sports Kansas City broadcast of the Royals-Angels game Thursday night—which young player would you like to start a franchise with? Simple right? The four players to choose from are exactly who you think would be mentioned in a conversation of this ilk—heck, you could probably name all four youngsters from memory...

OFF DAY - NOTEBOOK
ANAHEIM -- Pitcher Scott Schoeneweis enjoyed watching his teammates come back from a 5-0 deficit to beat the Royals, 7-6, on Wednesday night. But there was an element of disappointment, because it was Schoeneweis that put the team in a 5-0 hole.
``We're playing so well as a team, and we...
Why the Pujols contract isn't as bad as you think
A lot of conversation these past two months have revolved around Albert Pujols and his declining performance. The man is a mess of injuries, pressure, and unfair media scrutiny. I recently wrote about how all this could be worked through in an article from last week. One of the talking points was sticking Pujols in the DH spot, indefinitely. This is something we all knew would happen...

Los Angeles Angels right-handed reliever Ryan Madson was once again nearing return, and now we're once again reporting he's suffered a setback. The former closer is facing another "glitch" -- as manager Mike Scioscia puts it -- as he's experiencing inflammation in his throwing elbow, according to William Boor of MLB.com.
"Hopefully it's just a...
How do you solve a problem like Joe Blanton?
How do you solve a problem like Joe Blanton? If you were to ask your typical Angel fan the answer would be to take him out behind one of the Big A dumpsters, shoot him in the head and wait for the garbage truck to come by and pick up the remains. While that solution does have a certain appeal, the health department might lower Angel Stadium's grade, so we'll have to explore...

Angels continue hit parade, sweep Mariners 7-1
Okay, so I'm trying to temper my excitement a bit about the Angels winning four games in a row. This is mostly due to the fact that, with the exception of Jake Peavy, the pitching they have faced has been less than stellar. But give credit where credit is due, the boys are hitting the pitches they are supposed to hit. The pitchers are throwing strikes and getting batters out...

Mike Trout Proves What We Already Know--He is One Bad Dude
It is not too often that we see a rookie come out and dominate like Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout did last season. You could definitely argue that he deserved the AL MVP last season (but it was hard to deny Miguel Cabrera at the same time).
The one thing about coming out of the gate as hard as Trout did last season was that he had to provide fans with Act II this season...
