   23 games = 14% of the season - it ain't over yet, folks

   Not time to give up. Remember, the team started 2-8 and has been 7-6 since then. Not great, but respectable. Here's the hope: over the next month or so the team goes from respectable to at least very good. Weaver, Madson, and Jepsen come back to bolster the pitching staff. Vargas, Hanson and Blanton settle down to at least average. Richards and Wilson build on what they've been doing already. Hamilton is going to get hot at some point and there's room for improvement from Trout and Pujols. The point being, at some point this team is going to get hot. There are some kinks to work out, and the pitching will never be great, but the hope is that it can be good enough …

   At the 66ers game up here in Lancaster and sitting in front of me is a coach for Lancaster and a pitcher keeping stats. The Star Spangled Banner is being sung by a choir and the coach had them on a stopwatch. I joked he didn't need to time the delivery and he comes back with "The music is one minute in length and they went 1:22, completly unacceptable." He was unlocking his phone to prove to me that the sheet music length was one minute. I don't think we will be having any conversations the rest of the night.

   By Joe Haakenson, AngelsWin.com Contributor - APRIL 28, 2002 GAME 24 - BLUE JAYS AT ANGELS ANAHEIM - For the second game in a row, David Eckstein hit a grand slam, and this time in came in dramatic fashion, his two-out slam in the bottom of the 14th inning lifting the Angels to an 8-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays Sunday before 25,073 at Edison Field. Eckstein was 0 for 6 in the game when he came to the plate in the 14th, and he responded with his second slam in as many days to help the Angels to their fourth win in a row. Garret Anderson had four hits and Tim Salmon three hits for the Angels. Reliever Mark Lukasie…

    It isn't easy to get your first start in five days and go deep in your first plate appearance. But that's what backup catcher Hank Conger did in the second inning against Aaron Harang on Friday night, hitting his first big league homer since Sept. 16, 2011. View the full article

    From the shit hitting the fan, I think. I suspect that before anyone gets fired, JDP will try to save face and at least attempt to make a big deal. Thinking about trade possibilities, the Angels don't have much of a surplus of anything, so they are going to have to weaken one area in order to strengthen another. Coming into the year, the offense was supposed to be a huge strength. So far, it has looked pretty much like the early 2012 version, a couple of guys producing, a couple sucking, and nobody going off and 'carrying' the team. The pitching, as expected, has been the weaker of the two groups. Not one guy on the staff has separated himself from the suck, with most of …

    I have been an Angels fan for most of my life. I remember my younger brother at a "Meet The Angels" Day, grabbing and holding on to Reggie Jackson's hand. I remember looking up from my seats to see Gene Autry in the owners booth cheering on his Angels. I remember going to see the Angels play the Royals when George Brett was the draw. I remember walking down the walkway in 1986 after the Angels beat the Red Sox to put them only one game away from the World Series. I remember watching the Angels collapse in 1995 from a certain playoff birth to losing to Randy Johnson in the one game playoff. I remember a comic in Mad Magazine about the Angels being p…

    His pinch-hit single in the seventh delivers the go-ahead run and the Mariners beat the Angels, 3-2. SEATTLE — It seemed like progress for Joe Blanton, who delivered his first quality start of the season Saturday night, but even after matching Seattle ace Felix Hernandez for six innings, the Angels right-hander took no solace in a 3-2 loss the Mariners in Safeco Field.
