Another Dodger stadium parking lot beating. Reason why I absolutely hate going to that stadium, even when it's Angels vs. Dodgers.

It is a minor league deal. Cantu doesn't really provide anything so this is just AAA depth. Hopefully he doesn't see any MLB time. If he does, that means we are at least 10-15 games out of first.

A 94 win season in 2012 will bring the franchise to .500 for the first time since April, 1961. I think Pujols and company gets it done this year.

All according to Ken Rosenthal. The current Senior Vice President of Scouting & Player Development for the Diamondbacks will become our 11th General Manager in team history. We said NO to Omar Minaya!

The hell? What a way to end the season.

Uh oh, this is not looking very good. Update: According to C.J. it is a dislocated kneecap. No break.

Scroll down to the middle of the article to see the relevant info to us. Reyes has supposedly told friends he'd love to sign with the Halos. Angels also looking into relief help at this deadline.

I'm very excited and you should be too. Hopefully Bourjos sticks in the lineup again when he returns though. He will wear Vladdy's old #27. All according to Victor Rojas

Update: Sosh says Bourjos will have "limited availability" this weekend, not necessarily a DL stint. So it might be someone else going to AAA to make room for Trout.

The Hall of Famer managed the team from 1974-1976. He was 82.

News tweeted directly from the man himself.
Update: Jim Callis reports the price at 1.467 million ... Exactly Slot for this pick in the draft.

Big Splash is back to save the floundering Angel offense. Amarista optioned to AAA.

Good for him. Will he be Sosh's replacement after 2018?

WOW, huge shock right there.

The Rule 5 pick struggled in camp and failed to make the Royals roster. We will probably assign him to AA. Yay for Fish Names!

This guys was here on Halos Heaven briefly as Jessie78, annoying people. You'll recall he said that David Eckstein could "add 20-30 hrs, 100s of hits". Now he's getting attention from other film blogs. Just thought I'd share this with you all. He has actually been in a bazillion things.

He actually asked for the release. Perhaps he heard that the Angels are weak at Third Base.

Funny stuff.

The first time I've seen Trout as anything other than #1.

Mark Whicker is a laughingstock.. He ranks Salmon at #12 and completely leaves Brian Downing off his list. It kinda removes any authenticity when you let a guy like him vote on this.

According to Mike DiGiovanna. I want you to play for us for a long time too, Mr. Weaver. However, talks for a long term deal went nowhere

In Newport at 9 PM last night.

UPDATE 2: Angels to receive Vernon Wells in exchange for Napoli
UPDATE: Ken Rosenthal is reporting Mike Napoli has been dealt to the Blue Jays pending a physical.

Seems like a bad idea for us. Doesn't seem like anything is imminent yet

MLB Network is selecting the 20 best games of the last 50 years. 2002 World Series Game 6 is a nominee to make this list. Click the link, scroll down and give it a vote.

7 years and 142 million. Well shucks....

Cross that option off the list. Marlins acquire All Star Omar Infante and relief pitcher Mike Dunn.

Don't look to Trumbo for our Third Base woes...

This could be the third different coach under Soth to get a manager job. That in itself is amazing.

Because of the injuries to Callaspo, Aybar, and Izzy it was decided we needed more infield depth.

Three other coaches Rick Adair, Ty van Burkleo, and Steve Hecht have also been dismissed.

According to Sean Farnham, Torii was taken out of the lineup today and a suspension for 4 games will begin tonight. This is obviously the result of Torii making contact with umpire Ron Kulpa and for throwing baseballs onto the field.
