GO ANGELS!!!! Go Jered Weaver!!!

Make your magic ball avoid the bats again, Jered. Make it a 4-game winning streak!!

Go Albert! Time to leave Frank Robinson in the rear-view mirror! Go Trout, the uncrowned MVP of all MLB.

[Angels#1Fan]

Lets Go Halos!

Weave..keep the ball down.

[Angels#1Fan]

Mike Trout is good.

[Angels#1Fan]

CJ BOMB!!

Angels lead 2-0.

[Richard]

Cron smash 

[DMVol]

Need to keep Pennington sharp while Cowart sits....SMH....

[eligrba4ever]

CRON BOMB AGAIN!! 3-0 Angels.

Cron might just be having a legit breakout year now. Looking really solid.

Yup. If he does this a full season he could bring back a killer haul.

This is exactly the type of game I don't mind losing because Salas walks a guy and gives up a bomb in the 9th.

Helps our draft position with Salas being the only real player whose play was affected. Weave pitched good, offense was a little quiet, but Cron looked great. 

[eligrba4ever]

LIGHT THAT BABY UP!!! ANGELS ARE ROLLING NOW!!!

Weaver keeps them in mostly in check.

Victory No. 10 for the guy who can't pitch anymore.

Cron blasts a couple of bombs.

i doze off for a while until ...

Salas survives the ninth.

LTBU!

Scioscia still thinks this team has a chance.

LTBU!! Nice game by Cron, Pujols and Trout. Weaver with a nice start and the bullpen looked good.

Any other manager in baseball and this team would easily get a top five draft pick.

F'n Scioscia

At least we can beat the teams worse than us.

Woke up this morning with a Croner

[Angel Oracle]

Remember when we were terrible?    Me neither 

25-24 in their past 49 games, including the 11 game losing streak earlier this month

Pretty impressive with our pitching staff shredded with injuries....

Wow. I didn't expect that.

I picked the wrong time to fall asleep early during these two Reds games.

Wow didn't realize.  I thought we were taking our lumps worse than that.  That does shine a light on the future considering the injuries.
