Rangers Show Improvement
Posted on 30 Jan 2013 by Eric O'Connell.
What a difference a week makes. After two quality wins over the Maple Leafs and the Flyers the Rangers have gotten back to a 3-3-0 record and appear to be shaking off the rust. As well as the Blue Shirts have played these past two games though, the injury to Ryan Callahan puts a damper on win streak. Callahan took exception to the way Maxime Talbot was crashing the crease and pulled him aside t...

Rangers grade out better than the Angels…Class Dismissed
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
On May 13th, 2012, the Texas Rangers are better than the Angels in every category. They resoundingly proved that point this weekend. It can be argued that the Angels have a few individual players that are better than the Rangers, but as a team they are not even close. The Rangers put a nail into the Angels coffin in front of the national ESPN audience, pounding their best pitcher. Jered Weaver...

The Final Stretch
Posted on 18 Mar 2012 by Michael Thibault.
The Bruins enjoy a day off today in preparation for the final three weeks of the season. The B's will host the Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow at the TD Garden as they head for the final stretch of the season. With 11 games remaining, the Bruins find themselves 10 points behind Eastern Conference leader New York Rangers. While the Bruins aren't quite out of the race for the top spot, the Penguins ...

The Dog Days Continue
Posted on 21 Jan 2012 by Matt Preston.
It has long been said that 2012 is the year of premonitions. Nostradamus, the Mayans, and now Presto. Last time out, it was discussed that the one thing working against the Boston Bruins and their stellar play this season was whether they were peaking too early in the season and if complacency would set in? The day after that post was published, the Bruins came out and were dominated in a 4-3 l...

The Angels get C.J. Wilson too
Posted on 8 Dec 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
On any other day, the C.J. Wilson signing would be the lead baseball story in LA, and probably the baseball world, but when the Angels signed Albert Pujols a couple hours prior to signing Wilson, it fell between the cracks. However, signing Wilson is huge. Obviously it hurts the Angels biggest AL west rivals from Texas, but it also gives the Angels one of the best rotations in baseball. And if...

Bombs away in Texas, as the Angels flex their muscles
Posted on 28 Aug 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
Through two games, the Angels and Rangers are proving to be one thing, even. Each team has scored 15 runs in two games, which they have split. Dan Haren didn't pitch up to his usual standards in game one, but CJ Wilson wasn't his dominating self in game 2. In both games, the Angels proved one thing. They will get runners on in the first inning, and that's it. Oh no, they won't score them, but ...

Picture perfect day in Anaheim, and that includes Leeann Tweeden
Posted on 21 Jul 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
Hear the news? Jose Reyes would like to play for the Angels. The Angels don't have the players, or possibly the money, to acquire the Mets shortstop, but it's nice to know some big name ballplayers still want to play in Anaheim. He isn't as flashy as Reyes, but I like Erick Aybar. Aybar also stays a little healthier. Also, I can't guarantee Reyes could make that play that Aybar made to end Thur...

This isn’t a Kohn job, it’s an improbable Angels comeback
Posted on 21 Jul 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I really like the Angels 50th anniversary ceremonies. Getting past players, and key executives, to throw out the first pitch is a nice touch. Tuesday saw the late Gene Autry get inducted in to the Halos Hall of Fame. The original owner of the Angels is so deserving. It's just too bad that he never got to watch his beloved team win the series in 2002. Brian Downing threw out the first pitch in W...

A Tale of Two Bobs: A’s Fire Geren
Posted on 10 Jun 2011 by Josh Muller.
Boy, what a difference a week makes. This time last week, the A’s were fresh off getting swept by the Yankees, still in the race for the AL West, and I was writing about how important the upcoming stretch of games was. Fast forward seven losses later, that stretch proved to be very important but for all the wrong reasons, Brett Anderson and Mark Ellis are on the DL for the foreseeable future,...

A’s Catch a Lucky Break With the Weather
Posted on 12 May 2011 by Josh Muller.
The rubber match between the A's and Rangers was wednesday night, but a rain delay in the fourth eventually led to the games postponement. In other words, the A's get a mulligan in an incredibly lucky turn of events. I'd be pretty upset if I was a Rangers fan. I'd be even more upset if I was Rangers first baseman, Mitch Moreland, who hit a grand slam in the game, the first of his career. But if...

Angels speak quietly, let bats (and pitching) do the talking
Posted on 21 Apr 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
The American league west has a new leader, The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Angels had their Halos handed to them in game one, but in games 2 and 3, the Angels slapped around last seasons American League Champions. On Tuesday, the Halos had their highest scoring output of the season, 15 runs. It was a weird night for the offense, as the top 4 hitters went 2-17, while the bottom 5 went 13 ...

Yo Adrian, stop beating up the Angels
Posted on 19 Apr 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
The Angels foray into forst place lasted less than 24 hours. The Texas Rangers blistered the boys from LA or Anaheim, 7-1. Ironically, the Rangers were led by Adrian Beltre, who as a free agent signed with Texas instead of our Halos. Anyhow, Beltre showed the Angels what they are missing by going 2-4, including a home run and 3 RBI. everybody in the Texas lineup had a hit, except 1st baseman ...
