Is Howie Kendrick An All-Star Game Starter?
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim second baseman, Howie Kendrick, is on pace to have the best season of his eight year career. Now, anyone would be happy with the season Kendrick is having when you look at his stats, which we will save for later in the article.
A follower of mine on Twitter today noted that they believed Kendrick should be a starter for the upcoming All-Star game. The...
Angels show progress in win over Yankees
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Angels don't seem to be in a rush, even though June is halfway over and first place seems an ocean away. But every day they get closer to where they want to be.
It's a process, manager Mike Scioscia likes to say. Baby steps. One game at a time.
"We're not going to wake up tomorrow and be in first place, Scioscia said late Friday night. "...

Angels' Ryan Madson in favor of players using HGH while rehabbing
It's been 14 months into recovery from Tommy John surgery and Los Angeles Angels pitcher Ryan Madson has finally reached the point where he is willing to try anything to get back on the baseball diamond — even Human Growth Hormone.
"If HGH were legal, just in the process of healing, under a doctor's recommendation, in the right dosage, while you're on...
Trade Candidate: Jason Vargas
The Angels are 10 games under .500. They are 11.5 games back in the division and 9.5 games back in the Wild Card race. Baseball Prospectus and Coolstandings.com each give the Angels a roughly 5% to 7% chance of earning a playoff berth. Go ahead and cling to that hope if you want. We here at Monkey with a Halo would be ecstatic if they somehow pulled that off, but we are also realistic...

Coming Soon.... The Women of Angels Baseball Feature, By Ellen Bell
It may seem that baseball is a game for the guys. After all, men are all over the field; as players, coaches or umpires. It would seem only logical to assume that the front offices of baseball would be filled with men as well. But it might surprise some to know that many of the key players in the Angels organization are women.
In our upcoming series; "Women of Angels Baseball...

Coello was nearly unhittable in his first 11 appearances for the Angels, posting an ERA of 0.68 over that span. However, he's been hit hard in his last two outings, getting...
HURTING THE TEAM
Mike Trout fan interferes with Trout on ball
22,834 (roughly) people saw the Orioles beat the Angels 3-2 in Camden Yards Tuesday night. You have to think that 22,600 were Orioles fans. In the bottom of the third inning, O’s shortstop J.J. Hardy hit a foul pop-up down the left field line. Mike Trout had a beat on it as he made it to the wall. He couldn’t make the play because a fan WEARING A MIKE TROUT JERSEY interfered...
Los Angeles Angels Peter Bourjos with a Highlight Reel Catch
Check out Peter Bourjos' amazing catch as he went up and over the centerfield fence to rob J.J. Hardy of a home run in tonight's contest against the Baltimore Orioles.
Mike Trout robbed Hardy of a home run last season in Baltimore and it became the catch of the year. The Angels even put together a poster of Trout's catch and gave it away to the fans in attendance on...

THE UNKNOWN COMIC
Angels fan forced to remove paper bag?
An Angels fan claims team security made him remove a paper bag he was wearing over his head as a means of protest over the team's horrible start.
Albert Pujols is not a Top Five First Baseman
Albert Pujols has been absolutely abysmal thus far in 2013. His current triple slash sits at .243/.311/.420. Many fantasy owners are wondering whether their first round pick investment will pan out, but unfortunately I believe Pujols will finish outside the top five amongst first baseman.
Here’s why:
