Los Angeles baseball stars apply for free agency

SoCal Sports Hub (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009

On a day in which the Angels announced that starting outfielder Bobby Abreu would return to the club, the organization also learned that they will be in fierce competition with other organizations to resign some of their other players, who declared for free agency earlier today. The Halos’ ace John Lackey , who happens to be the top starter in this year’s market, officially filed for free...

It sure seems odd that the Angels continue to win against the A's despite the fact that they're basically coasting waiting for the season to end. The Angels won largely on Robb Quinlan's bat, with Q knocking in three of the Halos' four runs. Scott Kazmir also had a good outing, going five scoreless innings. The A's scored their two runs in Jason Bulger's eighth inning appearance. The Angels knocked...

Slamming the door on Texas' faint hopes for the postseason, and forcing an Angels rematch with ancient nemesis Boston, the Angels beat Scott Feldman for only the first time this year in a relatively tight but ultimately satisfying outing. The Angels led from Bobby Abreu's first-inning solo homer on; Robb Quinlan in what may be one of his last LAAoA appearances did absolutely nothing, but Chris Pettit...

There Is No Home Like The One You've Got, 'Cause That Home Belongs To You: Angels 5, Yankees 2

The Angels eventually hided Andy Pettite, one or two runs at a time over the course of the three runs the long-in-the-tooth Yankees starter gave up over six innings. The Angels cruised and never trailed, with Hokie Joe Saunders posting a phenomenal game, getting to within two outs of a complete game. Despite Brian Fuentes' best attempts to make it interesting (including a long fly ball to Nick Swisher...

The Limitations Of The Strikeout Pitcher: Rangers 7, Angels 0

6-4-2 — an Angels/Dodgers double play blog (Free subscription) | 08/10/2009

John Lackey recorded eight of his 20 outs by means of the strikeout, but as has been often the case with him this year (and pretty consistently against Texas), he kept leaking baserunners. Some of these weren't his fault, as in the fourth, when Bobby Abreu muffed a routine catch of Esteban German's lineout, turning it into a two-base error, and again in the fifth, when David Murphy reached on catcher's...
