White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu has officially been in the league a month and he has broken a number of records both White Sox franchise records as well as overall MLB records. These include most home runs and RBI in a single month as well as just in the month of April alone and more. Some may seem a little obscure but he's broken...
The Los Angeles Angels' Albert Pujols is one of baseball's all-time greatest hitters. He's had a couple slow years since joining the Angels after spending 11 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, but he proved that he is still one of baseball's best Tuesday when the Angels took on the Washington Nationals. The Angels won the game by...
On April 13, 2014 Albert Pujols hit home run number 495 of his career in the Los Angeles Angels 14-2 win over the New York Mets. It was his third home run of the season and moved him within five home runs of becoming the most recent member of the 500 Home Run Club. If not for an injured left foot that sidelined him last August...
The answer to the question is that they probably won't. There appeared to be a chance for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to compete in the American League Western Division in 2014, according to some experts but that chance was downgraded this morning. Now it is goodbye to the possibility of a comeback year for the Angels'...
Everyone knows about the “evil empire” that is the New York Yankees. Their fan base loves them and the rest of the world tends to hate them. The prevailing thought is they have an unfair buyers advantage and pay top dollar, or above, to bring in talent in order to win championships. While not entirely accurate I will save that for a...
The Angels have done what they needed to do. They followed in the footsteps of the Red Sox and the Tigers, in my opinion, doing the right thing. The Tigers have Cabrera forever and the Red Sox did the right thing for David Ortiz. It was about time the Angels locked down the best player in baseball, Mike Trout. Yes, I did call him the...
The Oakland Athletics stormed to the division title, the Texas Rangers narrowly missed out on the Wild Card, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim massively underperformed, the Seattle Mariners had a poor losing season and the Houston Astros continued their shocking form. Since then, each team has gone about adding the missing pieces to...
Welcome to Part 5 of my 2013 MLB forecast. I just finished forecasting the National League East, National League Central and the National League West. Now it is time to move on and I present my 2013 predictions for the American League West.
2012 began with high hopes for both the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels. The Rangers were...
It is amazing what a calendar year will do for a franchise. Think back to last winter when the Marlins made a play for Albert Pujols, signed Jose Reyes and Mark Buerle to a huge deals, opened a new 37,000 seat, $515M stadium ($347M publically financed) and appeared to be dumping their penny pinching ways in lieu of putting a year-in,...
