Well the patch killed my Angels MOM season. Which is a major bummer.

I went ahead and started a new one with the Royals. Some games will be MOM and I'll play some games. Just see how it goes.

Dynasty Page is still a work in progress:
Royals Dynasty Page.

Franchise updates will be coming. Just need to get motivated to start over again.

Well after losing two straight series (2 out of three to both Seattle and Detroit) the Angels were reeling a little bit. However a trip to Camden Yards seemed to be a cure for their ills.

The Angels headed to Baltimore for a quick 2 game series with the O's. In the first game, the Angel offense battered Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie and the O's bullpen mercilessly in an 11-6 win. Kendry Morales stood out going 4-4 with 2 2b's and 2 HR's to go with his 5 RBI.

In game 2 the Orioles Rich Hill did a much better job to silence Halo bats, unfortunately Angels ace John Lackey was a little bit sharper spinning a 7 hit complete game shutout in a 4-0 Angels victory.

The Angels are now 13-8 and sitting atop the AL West. However the road gets a little tougher as they now must head to Yankee stadium to take on the vaunted Yankees for a 4 game set.

Around The League:
  • Yankees Activated C.C. Sabathia from DL and Optioned RHP Phil Hughes
  • Mariners placed OF Endy Chavez on 60 day DL. (Fractured Arm). Recalled OF Charlton Jimerson
  • Indians place RHP Carl Pavano on 15 day DL (dislocated shoulder). Recalled RHP Jake Westbrook.
  • Red Sox place 1B Kevin Youklis on 15 day DL (MCL Sprain). Recalled OF Paul McAnulty.

Thanks to Vlad Guerrero's 7 RBI the Angels avoided a 3 game sweep to the Detroit Tigers. The Angels defeated the Tigers in the series finale 11-3.

Guerrero hit a grand slam of off Zach Miner in the 6th to break the game wide open. That home run was the 400th of Guerrero's career.

The Tigers opened a 3 game set with the Angels by defeating them 5-2. The loss drops the Angels to 9-5 on the season.

Something got in to Dontrell Willis as he was lights out, until the 6th inning. The Angels scratched out 2 runs in the 6th, but the Tigers bullpen came in and put out the fire. Jered Weaver was shaky again i this start..

We may try to acquire a first baseman as Kendry Morales has been inconsistent at best. It's only April so have to see how it goes. Will try to dangle Gary Matthews out there and see if I get any takers, but as of now he's not officially on the trade block.

In other news around the league:


The Yankees placed CC Sabathia on the 15 day DL with a shoulder strain and recalled Phil Hughes. They also placed OF Brett Gardner on the 60 day DL with a broken arm.

The White Sox placed John Danks on the 60 day DL with a shoulder seperation and recalled Jose Contreras.

The Mariners placed RHP Brandon Morrow on the 15 day DL with a hip injury and recalled Garrett Olson.

Well the Red Sox took two out of 3 from me, in my own yard. Not really much of a surprise, that team just owns the Angels. Frustrating.

Opened a 3 game set on the road by defeating the Mariners 6-2. Vlad hit career home run #397 in that game.

Dynasty Page is up to date. I will be adding players statistics later in the month as we get a bigger sample size.

Funny how video games somehow replicate real life some times. After taking 3 out of 4 from Oakland, the Red Sox, who have always been a thorn in the side of the Angels, come to town crush Anaheim to the tune of 11-4.

On a side note, I had 11 pitchers up with the big club, but I have been wearing my bullpen out, so I sent Reggie Willits to SLC and recalled Alex Serrano to give me 12 arms with the big club.

In my newly started LAA Angels season (MOM Mode) the Angels defeated the Oakland A's 4-1, thanks to a dominant performance by John Lackey and a pair of homeruns from Vlad Guerrero.

DM Site Updated. Let me know what you think of the format.

Just couldn't stay focused on a baseball season with a team I really am not that interested in.

So I am starting my "Season" with the Angels. Same as before, MOM Mode sliders default.

We will open up against the A's at home for a 4 game set.

Pitching Matchups are:

Justin Duchscherer vs. John Lackey
Dana Eveland vs. Ervin Santana
Sean Gallagher vs. Joe Saunders
Dallas Braden vs. Jered Weaver.

These two teams figure to be the favorites in the AL West. So this will let both teams know where they stand.

After taking a short hiatus from the game, I am now fully addicted. Game just totally sucks me in. I love having to worry about things like depth. Having the salary cap actually matter, etc. etc.

I am now 8-4 with my home town Chargers (Take that AJ and Norm)

I've set up a somewhat organized page at DM, you'll at least get an idea of my progress.
