   Too bad it's playing for all the other teams. Segura, Chatwood, Corbin, Skaggs, Napoli, Santana... All doing much better than the clowns we replaced them with or held onto. This is how you blow two straight seasons that you entered as a World Series favorite.

   LA Times: Angels fall to Rangers, 4-3, after ninth-inning implosion

   Angels closer Ernesto Frieri gives up two home runs in ninth, including Geovany Soto's walk-off blast, to ruin strong outing by Jered Weaver.<br/><br/>ARLINGTON, Texas — Jered Weaver allowed one run and five hits in seven splendid innings, "the best I've ever thrown the ball in Texas," he said, and J.B. Shuck, who got the silent treatment after hitting his first big league home run, responded by walking the length of the dugout and hilariously high-fiving invisible teammates.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/sports/baseball/mlb/angels/~4/QRbNiFV77ZA" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article

   By Joe Haakenson, AngelsWin.com Contributor - JULY 29, 2002 GAME 104 - RED SOX AT ANGELS ANAHEIM -- The Angels fans stood on their feet, waiting to cheer the last out. But unlike in 1986, when the Boston Red Sox spoiled the Angels' best chance to go to a World Series, this time that final out came. Angels closer Troy Percival got Johnny Damon on a comebacker with the potential tying run on second base to give the Angels a 5-4 win over the Red Sox before 27,929 at Edison Field. The Angels rallied from a 4-3 deficit with two runs in the eighth inning to provide the margin of victory and send home these fans happy, at least this time around. With the win, the Angels…

   By Joe Haakenson, AngelsWin.com Contributor - JULY 27, 2002 GAME 102 - ANGELS AT MARINERS SEATTLE – It might have been fun while it lasted, but the Angels’ hold on first place in the A.L. West was short-lived, their 3-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners before 45,974 at Safeco Field dropping them back into second place, a game behind the Mariners. Angels starter Jarrod Washburn saw the end to his personal 12-game winning streak, but it wasn’t because he didn’t pitch well. Washburn (12-3) pitched a complete game, allowing all three runs but only four hits. The big blow was a two-run home run by Edgar Martinez in the fourth inning. The Angels out-hit the Marin…

   He has some serious heat but no appreciable breaking ball to set up the hitters. That and his spordic control means we've probably seen his best. The Padres cut him loose because of control problems.

    @EyeOnBaseball: Former Cubs pitcher Frank Castillo drowned in Arizona Sunday http://t.co/c2FKW10LwB via @cbssports Frank Castillo has died at the age of 44. (USATSI) Former Major League Baseball pitcher Frank Castillo has died in a drowning accident, his family has told KVIA El Paso Monday. The accident occurred Sunday in Arizona's Bartlett Lake, which is reportedly near Castillo's home. He was out with a friend on a pontoon boot when he went out for a swim. He didn't come back up from under the water so his friend reportedly called for help. Castillo spent parts of 13 seasons in the majors between 1991 and 2005. He appeared in 297 games, starting 268.

    Honestly, name a GM or two in the game that has been worse than Dipoto the last two years. -signed Pujols to terrible contract (maybe Arte's fault) -signed Hamilton to terrible contract -Hanson for Walden looks terrible right now -Segura for Greinke -Joe Blanton -Chatwood for Iannetta -Didn't go get Anibal Sanchez when Greinke left -Ignored bullpen in 2012 -Madson hasn't played -Burnett has been hurt -Traded Erivn Santana for a bag of balls (Ervin is having an incredible season) Terrible. Fire this guy immediately.

    http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9518562/milwaukee-brewers-distribute-10-vouchers-august-games Challenged by the news of Ryan Braun's suspension and a disappointing season, Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio is reaching into his wallet. The team announced Monday that each fan who shows up with a ticket to any of the team's 12 home games in August will receive a $10 voucher that will be good for food, beverages, tickets or merchandise. Nice gesture by the Brewers. Maybe Arte should do something like this, for the "trying" season we've all had rooting for our team.

Puljos & Bourjos And players playing well below standards offensively and defensively. Hamilton & Callapso, Aybar Thoughts? Which team does this squad remind you of? And I don't want to hear about Gone Days, Hubbie Brooks and Chico Walker as those are my favorite playas...

    Trout, Weaver, Wilson, and the handful of other guys who have had good seasons and are signed here long term. This org has clearly decided to throw up the white flag for 2013 (with good reason), meaning 2+ months of depressing, meaningless baseball and a very dubious next few years.

    I'm finally willing to concede defeat. Actually, I was ready yesterday but today further seals the deal. So let's take a look at what the Angels have, who is staying and who might be going. The conventional wisdom is that the Angels won't trade big because of the way the team is configured - to (hopefully) win within the next few years, while Weaver, Wilson, and Hamilton are still around. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Dipoto clean out a lot of parts in order to create some breathing room. I also don't think Dipoto will dive deep into the minors, unless he ends up trading an excess player like Cron or Grichuk, but even those guys will probably be kept to see if th…

    If we get Bourjos back, and put out an outfield of Trout/Bourjos/Calhoun every day with Hamilton at DH, and we trade off Aybar and Kendrick and bring up some exciting kids who are too green to be nervous, and Vargas and Hanson come back to form with no pressure and Blanton does well in long relief.....I'm really going to like this team going forward. Playoffs be damned. It will be good to see an Angels team having fun again.
