One Week Later, Howie Kendrick Loses Home Run

Last week Howie Kendrick of the Angels hit an inside the park home run, or so he thought. That home run was taken away Friday and ruled an error on Kansas City right fielder Jose Guillen.

The MLB deserves credit for overruling the official scorer. It was a play that should have been made.

Guillen had a long way to go to get to the ball but got there in time and should have made the play.

Instead, Guillen dropped the ball and it rolled to wall. Kendrick crossed home plate standing up for the "home run."

Rex Hudler: Or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Angels

With child-like enthusiasm, he greets his listeners.

“Halo, Angels fans!”

 

His infectious excitement bubbling over, color commentator Rex Hudler weaves together a pleasant salutation with the nickname for his beloved Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

 

But he is not one to fancy himself a clever linguist.

Miselis Edition: Top 10 Favorite Head Coaches of My Time

After seeing recent slideshows regarding top 10 NFL Quarterbacks or Runningbacks, college football, as well as your most memorable moments, I have decided to make a list myself. This list is my top ten favorite coaches who have been around during my lifetime. The coaches could be from any sport. Whether from the early or late 90's, to the present today, I have put together a list of coaches who maybe inspire on or off the field, or impressed me with their coaching ability via championships

Momentum Brewing in the Bronx?

So far this season, the New York Yankees pitching staff could be described as baseball’s spaghetti western: they’re “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.”

Yet, after their rousing, come-from-behind-despite-leadng-early 10-9 win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of Orange County of California of the United States of America, the Yankees have won four straight, and they seem to be building momentum.

The Confidence Game

I always wonder about how managers deal with the various attitudes and personalities on a roster. Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint; which means there are going to be lots of ups and downs.

Angels Looking at Several of Our Pitchers

This is why I said making the moves, as the Angel's front office did, made no sense.  The moves limited our control of the situation and basically left us with less options.

Josh Beckett's Intentions Weren't Malicious, But Suspension Still Justified

As a Red Sox fan, I’ll inevitably be accused of homerism when I say that Josh Beckett did not intend to throw at Bobby Abreu’s head in Boston’s 5-4 loss Sunday.
In the first inning of that game, Beckett held his stance for an unusually long time before the 1-2 pitch, and as he finally went to the windup, Abreu called time in the middle of it.
Instead of stopping himself, which could have caused a serious injury, Beckett followed through with the pitch, w

Red Sox and Angels Clear Benches

The Red Sox and Angels game took a brief respite today in the second inning. With speedy Chone Figgins on second and one out, Red Sox SP Josh Beckett had the Angels' Bobby Abreu behind 1-2 in the count.

With the threat of a Figgins steal Beckett looked back at second four times, leading to Abreu calling time, which was granted just as Beckett began his delivery, as you can see above.

What happened next led to four Angels ejections.

Nick Adenhart: Why this story is bigger than baseball.

First off I want to go on record and say that I am a Red Sox fan and yet this touched me in such a big way.

The death of Nick Adenhart is something that should touch everyone that is a fan of baseball, a fan of sports in gerneral, it is so big that it should affect everyone.
