Winning Record At Home!
WoW! It took 76 games but the Angels finally have a winning record at home. 20–19 isn’t too bad, I suppose, but I’m sure they wanted it to be better by this point of the season. Couple that home record …

It Wasn’t The Bullpen This Time
Even back-to-back home runs by Upton and Pujols weren’t enough to catch up to the Diamondbacks on Monday. It wasn’t the bullpen this time but the pitching wasn’t up to snuff again.
Wanted, Bullpen Help
With another failure, the Angels really need to put up an advertisement…Wanted, bullpen help. Andrew Heaney pitched well. Well enough to win certainly. But the bullpen dropped the ball again and so the team leaves Oakland with a 2nd loss …
First Inning Slugfest
Yesterday’s game was truly a first inning slugfest. It didn’t take long for both Wade LeBlanc (2–0 3.00 ERA) and Andrew Heaney (3–5 3.68 ERA) to run into trouble in last night’s game as they both were tagged for home …
Ended at Six
Sadly the Angels winning streak ended at six with a 7–5 loss to the Twins. Sunday the offense added first baseman Jose Fernandez into the Pujols, Kinsler mix but it was not enough to overcome the 5 runs Tropeano gave …
Another Close One
The Angels found themselves in another close one with the Twins on Saturday after waiting over 4 hours for rain to stop. Tyler Skaggs (4–4 3.27 ERA) faced off against Kyle Gibson (1–3 3.54 ERA) in what turned out to …
Trout had to Power 2 Different Comebacks
Yesterday’s game was pretty crazy…so much so that Mike Trout had to power 2 different comebacks. Opposed to the game on Sunday where the Angels took the lead in the 2nd inning and Tyler Skaggs held it, Nick Tropeano had …
Youth over Experience
With 23 years and 55 days difference between Bartolo Colon and Jaime Barria the game proved to be a match of youth over experience for while Colon entered the game 2–2 with a 3.55 ERA, he ran into trouble early …
Offensive Ensemble
The Angel bats came to life Tuesday as the offensive ensemble of Pujols, Kinsler, Valbuena, and Maldonado powered the team over the Tigers. After the troubles Monday with runners on base, it’s good to see a change.
Breaking outta it’s Slump
Hopefully this game was evidence that the offense is breaking outta it’s slump because it was fun to see the Angels score some runs. I’d sure like to see more games like Thursday’s since the Angels seemed to have everything …
