by mike silver | Oct 5, 2009 | 2009 ALDS, Los Angeles Angels, Mike Scioscia, Quick Post
Mike Scioscia released his postseason roster on Sunday, giving fans even more to feast on as the playoffs near. The team will consist of 15 position players and 10 pitchers, giving Scioscia some additional late-inning options, but potentially hampering the bullpen....

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 Los Angeles Angels didn’t want to leave Fenway without at least one win for the trip home, as the AL West leaders beat the Red Sox, 4-3. A wild pitch in the seventh tarnished an otherwise solid start for Josh Beckett, who went eight innings for seven hits...

With just under three weeks left in the regular season, the field is almost done filling out, with just five teams holding real hopes of reaching the post season: Boston, New York, Detroit, Minnesota, and Los Angeles. Anaheim is up 6 in the West, Detroit is up 4 on...

GAME NOTES: Josh Beckett looks like he’s coming out of that funk he was mired in for a couple weeks. He’ll do it against Ervin Santana, who has had a bad year after busting through last year. I’ll be at the game, so let’s hope we see a good...

Alex Gonzalez earned himself a valuable pair of singles, as the Red Sox checked off their seventh victory in just eight days, against the Los Angeles Angels, 9-8. Watching A-Gonz at the center of the home plate pig-pile still takes some getting used to, but after...

GAME NOTES: Paul Byrd makes what could be his final start for the Red Sox, as Tim Wakefield is due back shortly. Byrd has been a nice arm for the Sox so far. Can he shut down that offense?
by jake digregorio | Sep 16, 2009 | Daisuke Matsuzaka, David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Game Recap, Jacoby Ellsbury, John Lackey, Los Angeles Angels
In his first game back since June 19, Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched a surprisingly decent an unagitating outing, as the Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of the United States of North America, 4-1. The multi-million dollar man notched over six...

GAME NOTES: The Angels come to town. We’ll probably be facing them in the ALDS again — the Angels could use a strong showing at Fenway Park to give them confidence going into the playoff series. The Angels aren’t the pitching club they used to be,...
