Division Battles Will Keep Los Angeles Angels in the Hunt
October 17th, 2011 at 7:15 PM

August 28th, 2011 at 6:14 PM
It wasn’t really supposed to be a season-defining series, but in some ways, it was just that. When the Los Angeles Angels ventured to heat-infused Arlington, Texas, to face the Rangers, the baseball world took notice (as much as American League West contests illicit notice, that is). Angels manager Mike Scioscia...

One Bad Inning Signals the End for Tyler Chatwood and the Los Angeles Angels
July 31st, 2011 at 10:35 AM
Los Angeles Angels starter Tyler Chatwood has delivered more for the rotation than was likely expected of him when he stepped in for the injured, then released, Scott Kazmir. Working alongside the likes of Jered Weaver and Dan Haren, the drive to keep up and produce is that much more...

Tyler Chatwood is something of a riddle for the Los Angeles Angels. He started his season as a replacement for injured Scott Kazmir, and with Kazmir having been given his unconditional release by the Angels this past week, it appears the starting gig is Chatwood’s to lose. ***PHOTO1*** Tossing seven scoreless frames,...

If Los Angeles Angels' Jered Weaver is not an All-Star this year, the game has become even more meaningless than it already is. After tonight’s performance, any lingering doubt must be assuaged. ***PHOTO1*** Weaver tossed a complete-game five-hitter, blanking the Seattle Mariners for his eighth victory. And actually, the game looked a...

Los Angeles Angels Rebound, Defeat Seattle Mariners 6-3

For most, if not all, of this season, Los Angeles Angels fans were surely wondering when -- not if -- Vernon Wells would be either traded, released, or benched, costing the team money for sure, but saving them grief. However, he may have staved off that day just a little...

Kansas City Royals Blank Los Angeles Angels 9-0
June 12th, 2011 at 7:28 AM
One day after putting an end to a six-game losing streak, the Angels fell back into their inconsistent pattern of play, dropping a 9-0 decision to the Kansas City Royals. ***PHOTO1*** Five different players -- Torii Hunter, Howard Kendrick, Mark Trumbo, Bobby Abreu, and Hank Conger -- hit into double plays, with...

After an Angry Mike Scioscia Tirade, Los Angeles Angels Drop Kansas City Royals 7-5
June 11th, 2011 at 7:13 AM
Mike Scioscia has built respect and loyalty from his players over his more than 10 seasons at the helm of the Los Angeles Angels. Because of that, when as a player you are summoned to his office to “discuss” your lackluster play, Scioscia’s message resonates a bit stronger. ***PHOTO1*** That’s exactly what...
