Angels report: Notes, quotes

--In their past five games, Angels starters Jered Weaver, John Lackey, Joe Saunders, Ervin Santana and Scott Kazmir have allowed just two earned runs (plus two unearned) in 33 1/3 innings.

--With their loss in Seattle on Wednesday, the Angels fell to 18-23 against the AL West this season. They have a winning record against every other division (including interleague play). They are the only division leader with a losing record in their own division.

--Wednesday ended a stretch of 20 consecutive days between off days for the Angels. They went 10-10. After getting Thursday off, they will play another 20 consecutive days and 30 games in the final 31 days of the regular season.

--LHP Scott Kazmir's average of 9.65 strikeouts per nine innings since 2006, going into his start Wednesday, was the highest of any pitcher in that time. He struck out eight in 6 1/3 innings Wednesday.

BY THE NUMBERS
8-7, 3.59 -- LHP Scott Kazmir's career record and ERA against the Boston Red Sox, the Angels' likely first-round playoff opponent.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"There's plenty of money here if they want to keep me, let's be honest." -- RHP John Lackey (a free agent this coming winter) on how the acquisition of LHP Scott Kazmir affects his future with the Angels.

Here’s the deal Halo fans: Lackey went to the Tea Party, Figgins a homecoming in Seattle, Vlad to continue his destruction of the ballpark in Arlington with Oliver, who plans to begin his retirement. So the Mariners and Rangers picked up some talent; the ...(more)

I am a correspondant for ISportsWeb.com for the Miami Heat. I love blogging with them. They are a new site, and are getting a lot of exposure! The requirements are minimal, and it is fun. Even if you don't want to write for them, take a look at the site. It has tons of stories. They are an up and coming site with 100's of columnist. Some have even received a media pass for the team they are writin ...(more)

I read and listen to the so called experts every year and they never give the Angels the respect they deserve. We have won more games the last two years than any other team yet they diss us by picking the M's as the champs of the west the 2nd year in a row. They claim they are better defensively by adding Figgons. Better than Beltre? I don' ...(more)

I know that many of you have been a bit down this year in terms of the Angels offseason moves, but upon further reflection I think the Angels did a good job.  The reason I say this is because it would have been easy to sign a fat chech over to Bay or Holliday, however if you look at where the Angels should be in the next two to three y ...(more)

This Pineiro signing is just a bandage for Lackey.  My proposal is to go after Greinke - He probably isn't on the table but if the Angels make an offer that would wow the Royals, they might listen.  IMO greinke is in Halliday's class but makes far less money - hence a bigger ...(more)

Longtime Angels broadcaster Rory Markas passed away today. He coined the phrase "Light up the halo!" He was recently named, along with Gubicza and Mota, the tv voice of the club. Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all Angels fans, he'll be missed.

The signing of JOEL PINEIRO is a blessing and gives the Angels now 5 real solid starters and some ability to move some kids or players to get some bats.  The ANGELS still need someone to play 3rd base because B WOOD is not the answer.  He can't hit and he proved it this winter batting only 210 if that much with 2 hr.  That is ...(more)
