Angels pitching continues to stink up baseball
Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Is it time for Mike Butcher to refresh his resume? After this weekends debacle that saw his pitchers give 46 hits and 37 earned runs, it appears his pitchers have quit on him. Maybe they've quit on Scioscia, I don't know, but it sure looks like they quit on someone. On a positive note, at least the Halos played good defense the past 4 days. A few things chapped my ass this weekend. I'll give ...

That aroma you smell is the Angels stinking
Posted on 12 Aug 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
I've tried to stay calm. I've tried to stay rational. I HAVE TRIED! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!! Losing 2 of 3 to the Seattle Mariners is embarrassing! The M's are in serious re-building mode, and reside at the bottom on the American League in most offensive categories, including 2 of the important ones, runs and RBI's. For those of who don't think the pressure is starting to build in Anaheim, check o...

Angels glad to be out of Toronto
Posted on 2 Jul 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
I'll take a split in Toronto anytime. I'm not gonna quote you any stats, it just seems to me that the Halos have trouble north of the border. They took game 1 because they out-slugged the Jays. Mike Trout, who's headed to the All-Star game, hit the game winner. Another All-Star, Mark Trumbo and one non-All-Star Albert Pujols did, as well. The key play came on the defensive side though. Erick ...

O how nice to watch the Halos beat up Baltimore.
Posted on 28 Jun 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
So much for the Orioles stopping the Angels. The Halos crushed Baltimore at every turn in sweeping the 2-game set by scores of 7-3 & 13-1. For one of the few times this season, the Angels starting pitching could just sit back and laugh as they watched the Halos offense devour the O's staff. Where do I start. That's easy, let's start at the top with Mike Trout. The A.L.'s Leading hitter wen...

Fa la la la la..LAA takes the freeway series…again!!
Posted on 24 Jun 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
For the 6th straight year, the Angels didn't lose the Freeway series to the Dodgers. They have split the 6 games in the past half-dozen years, but they haven't lost one since 2006. The Angels won this years series 4 games to 2. I thought the Dodgers were gonna blow em out on Friday. They had 5 on the board before most people were even in the stadium. Dan Haren continues to look….well̷...

Angels are able to cut down the Giants, just not Cain
Posted on 21 Jun 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Has it really been 10 years since the Angels and Giants have played each other? It seem like yesterday that the Angels won their first World Series with an exciting 7 game series win over the guys from the Bay area. Both teams are completely different, but the intensity is still the same. Feel bad for Jerome Williams. The former Giant was excited to face his ex-team. By the 4th inning, he was ...

Did you know the Angels played the D’backs over the weekend?
Posted on 20 Jun 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Yes, I am super late in writing about the past Angels-Diamondbacks series. Considering they are playing the finale of the Giants series tonight, I missed the bus completely. On that note, this will be short. Went to Friday's game vs the snakes. All I remember is the Angels scoringzero runs. I also remember Dan Haren walking Miguel Montero to get to Aaron Hill with 2 men on in the 5th. Hill hit...

Angels continue to make Dodger Stadium their home away from home
Posted on 14 Jun 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
The Freeway Series has been more like highway robbery the past few years for the Angels. Since 2007, the Halos have posted a 20-10 overall mark against their freeway foes, including 10-5 at Dodger Stadium. This year things were gonna be different, right? Although the games are competitive, the Angels still find ways to beat the boys in blue, taking 2 of 3 from them this week. My first question ...

Angels take a broom with them to Colorado
Posted on 11 Jun 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
There's nothing like interleague play to get the Angels offense on track. Coming into the first full weekend of IL play, the Halos had lost 3 of 4, while scoring 21 runs. In Colorado, the Angels bats came alive, scoring 28 runs and sweeping in sweeping away the Rockies. There is no one sadder to leave Colorado than Torii Hunter.Since coming back from family issues, Hunter had 1 hit in 22 at ba...

One Garrett returns, while another has just arrived
Posted on 7 Jun 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
I thought Garrett Anderson was done with baseball? That's what he told Bill McDonald a few years ago. I think he said he was tired of all the media, and pretty much everything that had to be with the game that made him a multi-millionaire. He couldn't wait to leave it all behind. Imagine my surprise when I saw Anderson on the Angels Live set next to Josa Mota and Michael Eaves. I wonder if h...

Angels drop 2 straight, but Trout continues to hit
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
I didn't think for one instant that the Angels would sweep the Rangers, and they didn't. It was a fun game, if you're a Rangers fan. I'm just glad the Angels weren't no hit. Matt Harrison held the Angels hitless into the 5th inning. Mike Trout continues to hit everyone. 2 more hits for the budding Halos star. Let's see, John Hester did his first home run as an Angel. Pretty much it for the Ha...

Angels closing in on the Rangers
Posted on 2 Jun 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
If you turned off the channel after 5 innings, you missed quite an Angels game. The Angels battled back to beat the A.L. West nemesis, the Texas Rangers 4-2. I think the next time sees Mike Trout sees Salt Lake is when he goes to visit the Mormon Tabernacle. That kid is going to man center field for the next 10-15 years. You know Trout is good when a Rangers fan remarked, “Trout is a beas...
