Pujols is a 2-game hero, while Figgins is the game-2 goat
Posted on 26 May 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
The Angels wrote the perfect script in game 1 against the Mariners. Albert Puljols supplies the offense, and the starting pitching shuts down the opposition. Pujols had one of his most productive games since joining the team by getting 3 hits, including the 450th home run of his career, and a stolen base. Dan Haren did the rest. Haren struck out a career high 14 batters in pitching a complete ...

Dial M for Mariners. Seattle has the Angels number on Monday
Posted on 30 Aug 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
Coming off a tense showdown in Texas, I expected the Angels to take a little step back in Seattle, and they did just that. They lost 5-3, and now trail the idle Rangers by 3.5 games in the AL West. Every time I watch Joel Pineiro pitch, I feel like I am at the circus watching the guy walk the high wire. I don't want him to fall, but I can't take my eyes off him. Pineiro gives up about a hit, or...

Braves-Mariners preview
Posted on 27 Jun 2011 by John Morgo.
I thought about wrapping up the Braves-Padres series, but decided a preview of the tilt between the Braves and the Mariners seemed more pressing, especially since the first game of the series goes at 10p EST and I have to get up for work at 5:30a. It's all about priorities. But, let's give a small synopsis of the Pads. The Braves only won one, Saturday, in a 10-1 slugfest, but yesterday Tim Hud...

in the Emerald City, Angels find there’s no place like the road
Posted on 15 Jun 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
It's amazing how a couple wins can make me feel better. I've taken a couple chill pills since my last post. I may nat be happy with the direction of the team, but your many responses made me realize that you all feel the same. I am all about effort. Show the effort, and I can forgive a lot of things. Show me a quitter attitude, like Sunday's performance, and I seethe. Did Vernon Wells read my ...

Goodbye Brandon Wood
Posted on 21 Apr 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I don't think i have to tell you, I wasn't a huge fan of Brandon Wood. He was truly a minor league monster, hitting more than 160 home runs and driving in close to 600 runs. His minor league success just didn't translate to the majors. a 141 career average, plus the inability to win the 3rd base position after Chone Figgins left forced the Angels hand. The Angels D-F-A (Desiginated for assignme...

2011 MLB Preview: Looking at Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners on Paper
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
There's not much to cheer about in Seattle, but they do have two of the most exciting players in baseball in Cy Young Award winner Felix Hernandez and Ichiro. Just a year ago, the Mariners were a popular pick to win the AL West. They acquired Cliff Lee during the offseason in a trade with Philadelphia, and acquired Chone Figgins as a free-agent. Seattle started off slow and Cliff Lee didn't p...

FBIW#8- Third Base Report
Posted on 29 Mar 2011 by Mo Johnson.
The hot corner is a bit of a hot potato this year. The players moving in and out of the position could make you dizzy. Jose Bautista, Martin Prado, Kevin Youkilis, Chone Figgins and even the evil Jhonny Peralta all will be able to claim a number 5 on your fantasy team’s defensive slots. This turns out to be very useful as it propels third out of the shallow ...

Angels still hibernating
Posted on 17 Jan 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I keep waiting and waiting and waiting for the Angels to make a move to improve the team, but I guess we'll have to see what happens during the spring. The Angels did sign Jeff Mathis to a 1-year deal worth 1.7 million dollars. I know I pick on Mathis alot, but there's something about the way he plays that pisses me off. I read that the Angels are still looking to sign a leadoff man. I bet they...

The Series Rewind: Jays split pair in Seattle
Posted on 21 May 2010 by Ben Fisher.
The Breakdown: The Blue Jays (25-18) toyed with an early lead in each of a pair of contests against the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field, only the second time it came back to burn them. After nearly coughing up a 3-0 lead en route to a 3-2 win in the “series” opener on Wednesday, Kevin Gregg could not hold a 3-1 lead in the ninth inning of yesterday’s game and suffered his second blown sa...

Still three back, Halos host Mariners
Posted on 29 May 2009 by Nich Hall.
This past week was supposed to be a great opportunity for the Angels, they were hosting the lowly Chicago White Sox while the division leading Rangers faced the Yankees. Ideally the Halos would have been able to gain some ground but the White Sox clearly had different plans. On Memorial Day the Angels were absolutely run out of their building. Ervin Santana making his third start of the season ...

Halos claim Freeway Series, take two out of three from Dodgers
Posted on 25 May 2009 by Nich Hall.
It has been an interesting week or so to be an Angels fan. Mike Scioscia’s club appears to be on a bit of a rollercoaster this May. An impressive series win over the Red Sox was followed by a disappointing sweep at the hands of the division leading Texas Rangers last weekend. This past week the Angels appeared to regain some of their swagger after their disappointing showing in Arlington....
