"I was so surprised when they walked Torii," Moreno grinned. "All you've got to do is watch Vlady taking BP to know he still hits the [tar] out of the ball."

Reading between the lines?

Bill Dwyre article is good for me

Swelling eyes and a few chuckles. This is a good article about an exciting time.

"This was like a visit from your drunken ex-spouse, who took you for all your money and was back in town, wanting a loan. Until Thursday night, Angels' memories of the Red Sox in the postseason were almost all bad."

Lookout Landing welcomes new Mariners

"Get back to pitching like you did a few years ago and remark that "John Lackey probably smells" and we will personally wash your car and take care of your landscaping"

As you can see from some of the posts, the Angels are always on their minds.

Evans Up, O'Sullivan Down

OC Register

"The Angels "don't feel comfortable" asking the 21-year-old to do that, Scioscia said, so he was sent back to Triple-A Salt Lake and outfielder Terry Evans was promoted.

Evans was hitting .290 with 19 home runs and 66 RBI in 93 games for Salt Lake. He gives the Angels "coverage" in the outfield, Scioscia said, while Juan Rivera deals with a troublesome hamstring. Rivera has missed the past three games and five of the past eight."

Two of those were by Wladimir Balentien.......if we can believe the info provided by MLB.com. Click on the "Preview" section for the info as the link doesn't seen to want to go there directly.

King Felix has given up HRs to Mathis, GMJr, Morales, and Napoli.

Minor League Rosters Fairly Fascinating:

We have so many good guys getting close.

SLC's roster has all of our Willits, Wood, Brown, X-Rod's, and Coon, Evans, & Pettit,. Thompson, Ortega, Davidson, too.

O'Sullivan, Walden, Bell, and Herndon pitch to Conger in AA. Trumbo, Mount, Statia, and Bourjos retrieve.

Escobar, Lackey, and Santana will pitch for Rancho Cucamonga. Incredible!

Accident or Conspiracy?

Accident or Conspiracy?

Brandon Wood, all of a sudden has a .000 batting average. I would have thought it an accident except that his name and numbers no longer exist on the team's Spring Training Stats Page.
