Tired but happy.
And while Sunday night’s marathon win for the Halos did keep Red Sox fans on the east coast up after midnight, I would argue that they still did not have it as bad as Angels fans.
Every pitch to a Red Sox batter in the latter ...

The five questions the Angels need to answer in order to win this series against the Red Sox:
1. Can Vladimir Guerrero produce in the postseason?
This is the one question that is being asked by columnists, bloggers, Angels and Red Sox fans and, I believe, was once the Final Jeopardy winning ...

Mike Scioscia is famous for preaching the one-day-at-a-time mantra to his players. What happened yesterday, last inning, or your last at-bat is irrelevant. It’s in the past. Focus on now, this at-bat, this pitch, this moment. That is the only thing you can control.
Oh, but this team ...

Allowing 10 runs in less than three innings is not the outing John Lackey wanted in his last appearance before the playoffs, a 12-1 loss to Texas. It was his worst mound performance ever, but it was softened by the fact that the Angels already won the American League West and, thanks to Tampa ...

I was on the Angels baseball Web site
the other day and I noticed that the team
has put up a list of top moments from the 2008 regular season that fans can vote on for the top moments of the season. However, some of the moments at the Angels’ site ...
The LA Angels of Anaheim were the first to punch their post-season ticket and Manager Mike Scioscia has used the last couple of weeks as a sort of extended Spring Training. Several key players have been given time off to get healthy and some potential playoff bench players have been given ...

Now that it has been a week since the Angels clinched the A.L. West division (although it has felt like weeks months) Halo fans can start thinking about who the team will face in the first round of the American League Division Series and overall in the playoffs.
The good news is that as long ...

After Raul Ibanez swung through a vintage Francisco Rodriguez breaking ball for strike three, the talented kid they call K-Rod dropped to his knees to relish in his record-breaking 58th save.
Bobby Thigpen’s record held up over 18 seasons, and in doing so established itself as one of ...

Francisco Rodriguez
Francisco Rodriguez made history yesterday when he recorded his 57th save of the season, tying him with Bobby Thigpen for the most in a single season. K-Rod will make the record his own when he notched his next save, likely this weekend against the Mariners.
Rodriguez made a splash when he ...

No, Joe, it never gets old. I have to throw my two cents in with my esteemed colleague; there is nothing quite like watching your team clinch. And, again to agree with Joe, it is especially wonderful after watching your team play like crud for more than a decade.
Four division titles in five years. Not too shabby, especially when you consider:
A rash of injuries that always seem to hit ...

I think Torii Hunter put it best when he was swimming in a pool of beer, claiming to be Michael Phelps, after the Angels won their fourth division title in five years on Wednesday afternoon: “This never gets old. This never gets old.”
No, Torii, it does not - especially for those of us who watched the Angels struggle throughout the 90s.
It never gets old.

The Angels could finally put the rest of the AL West out of their collective misery and clinch the division with a win tonight over the New York Yankees and a Texas Rangers loss. It would break the record for the earliest a team has claimed the division, a distinction currently held by the 1971 Oakland Athletics who clinched on September 15th of that year. I’m not sure if it is a ...
