lefty specialist with a baffling slider, and Green is a long man with an interesting arm angle.
3-Anaheim Angels: Justin Speier, Darren Oliver, Scott Shields, Jose Arredondo, and Brian Fuentes.

Fourth in right field, behind Guerrero, Markakis, and Ichiro.
And the top spot goes to...
1-Anaheim Angels: RF-Vladimir Guerrero, CF-Torii Hunter, LF-Bobby Abreu
Clearly this is a veteran group, dare I say "old"?

Tom Caron just said that a little while ago on the Carlson and Mackenzie show. He couldn’t be more right. Although last night’s game was long, frustrating, and exhausting, now things are getting exciting. We’re one game away from advancing, yet this isn’t something we can take for granted. And to be quite honest, we should have had last night’s game. So now I’m writing at 8:00am, a little more tired than I would have liked to be. A five hour game is something we usually don’t see unless we’re playing the Yankees in the Championship Series (yeah that made me laugh a little too). And with all that being said, I'm a little frustrated after last night.

(Cue the Talking Heads’ “Once in a Lifetime”)
Hey, I know that song, it’s a good one. It certainly is a familiar tune. It must be October (there’s only one, you know!), because the Boston Red Sox just wrapped up another postseason smack-down in Los Angeles Anaheim, California. Even though the final score was only 4-1, this loss seemed to be especially demoralizing for the Angels, who for the tenth (!) straight time lost to the Red Sox in the postseason.

One of the All-Star Break traditions: Reassessing our predictions from the first half of the season. Some of mine have changed, some have stayed the same—and some were just damn wrong. Living in the West, I will take the contrarian position and roll from west to east in my choices.

oming within two saves in 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The latest guy to challenge Thigpen is the Anaheim Angels’ Francisco “K-Rod” Rodriguez, who has been their closer since taking over in 2004 from Troy Percival. Since then, he’s notched 178 saves for Anaheim, including a 47-save 2006 and a 45-save 2005, and has averaged 32 saves throughout his career (including about two seasons as Percival’s setup man).

All right. Are you ready for this? As the All-Star break approaches, the Tampa Bay Rays have the best record in baseball. That’s right. At 49-32, they’re a half-game ahead of Boston, the Cubs, and Anaheim. Whoa. Is this one of the signs of the apocalypse?

The game everyone’s talking about from last night is the near-no-hitter—so called because only eight innings were completed—by the Angels, who lost the game to the Dodgers—which is why the no-hitter was only eight innings: the winning Dodgers didn’t need to take their bottom-of-the-ninth at-bats. Got that?
