10The lead lays out the damning facts quickly: 13th of 14 AL teams in runs scored per game "and most other significant categories," including only 11 runs scored in the past 7 games, as well as 6 blown saves by the bullpen in 8 chances.

Cleveland Plain Dealer letter to the editor proposes Indians trade for Vernon Wells
23In a letter to the editor published in the Cleveland Plain Dealer last week, an Indians fan wrote: "What if the Indians asked for Vernon Wells and Kendrys Morales plus money from the Angels for bullpen help and prospects? Wells is owed over $62 million over the next three years. Would the Indians make the move if the Angels offered to eat $20 million of Wells' contract. The Angels lose a bad contract and open up a spot for Mike Trout, plus get bullpen help. The Indians get a quality right-handed bat in Wells and a quality switch-hitting first baseman in Morales, if he's healthy." Of course, the paper's staff writer goes on to reject the proposal as "way too much of a gamble for me." But is there hope that a deal could be made?

Is today Brandon Wood's last day as an Angel?
48Erick Aybar is eligible to come off the DL tomorrow. It is unlikely that the team will send down a catcher or pitcher. Has the end finally arrived for a former top prospect?
When did Angels fans become so spoiled?
I am incensed at all of the comments about how we deserve this or that, and still other comments to the effect that supposed fans will not support the team next season. If anyone thinks that...
