--The Angels and Yankees combined to hit six home runs in Game 3, tying the ALCS record for home runs in a game (one short of the major league record). The Yankees had not given up a home run in their first five postseason games this season until Kendrick went deep in the fifth inning Monday.

--With two outs and none on in the ninth inning of Game 3, manager Mike Scioscia elected to have closer Brian Fuentes intentionally walk Alex Rodriguez, putting the go-ahead run on base in a tie game. Scioscia could only remember doing that with one other hitter -- Barry Bonds in the 2002 World Series against the Giants. "We won the World Series, so it must have (worked)," Scioscia said. It worked this time, too, when Fuentes retired pinch-hitter Jerry Hairston Jr. to end the inning.

--The Yankees will start LHP CC Sabathia on three days' rest in Game 4, but Angels manager Mike Scioscia decided before the series started that he would not do that with RHP John Lackey. Instead, he will use four starters, and LHP Scott Kazmir will start Game 4. If we have pitching depth, it makes sense to use it," Scioscia said.

BY THE NUMBERS
22 -- Games between playoff home runs for Vladimir Guerrero. He hit a game-tying grand slam in Game 3 of the 2004 ALDS loss to Boston, then no more until a two-run, game-tying home run in the sixth inning of Game 3 of the ALCS on Monday.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"That was an emotional roller-coaster. We were up, we were down. We were up, we were down. I have a headache now." -- CF Torii Hunter on the Angels' Game 3 victory.

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.

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)
