Well, that was quick. After a slow couple weeks while we waited for the crowning of the new World Series Champion (who, sadly, were the New York Yankees), the MLB hot stove exploded in a flurry of moves including the trades of Jeremy Hermida and J.J. Hardy, the...

Jason Bay. Matt Holliday. Jason Bay. Matt Holliday. Matt Holliday. Jason Bay. Jason Bay. Matt Holliday. Matt Holliday. Jason Bay. Okay, let’s take a break from the two obvious left-fielder candidates and focus on other free agents that could be manning left...

Certain to be among the major themes in the ALDS are the Angels’ aggressiveness and superiority on the basepaths. Perennially among the league leaders in steals, the team placed third in 2009, behind Tampa Bay and Texas with 148 thefts. Anaheim will be sure to remind...

Now that the Magic Number is down to zero (special thanks go to Texas for their Heimlich Maneuver on the Red Sox choke job), the Sox can safely prepare for the Anaheim Angels. Make no mistake, this is not the Angels teams of past years, who had been thoroughly cooked...

The Red Sox didn’t want to be the only Boston team to lose tonight. J.D. Drew started Boston’s rally with a solo-shot (5) in the second inning tying the game at 1-1. Drew would also help finish off the Angels in the ninth. Drew lead off the ninth with a...

In the first inning of the Angels/Red Sox game, Josh Beckett looked back at Chone Figgins three times at second base. He then began to serve a fastball to Bobby Abreu, but home plate umpire Paul Schreiber jumped out, signaling for a time out. A startled Beckett buzzed...

Bobby Abreu got all the revenge he needed. After Josh Beckett threw at his head in the first inning for calling time late in the at-bat, Abreu hit a go-ahead two-run single in the third inning giving the Angels a 3-2 advantage. Vladimir Guerrero padded the lead in the...

That wasn’t a playoff game was it? Yesterday’s match-up between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels had everything a fan could ask for in a regular season game. A dramatic ninth inning — Jonathan Papelbon somehow surviving against Howie...

Ok, the season has started. So here is my quick write-up on the AL West, along with very quick predictions for the remaining divisions. LA Angels of Anaheim: 86-76: The one thing that I am not sold on is that a team like the Angels are solely summed up in their run...

Forgive me, as I am not trying to exhaust the subjects of Josh Beckett and Jason Varitek. But I have wondered about something for a long time, yet never expressed it within the text of any of the writings I have published. But why exactly did it take so long for Josh...
