Tim Brown of Yahoo appears to have had it first, as you can see above, but Buster Olney's sources are telling him the same thing. Bob Nightengale of USA Today says it's for 10 years and $250 million. Somebody check on Leitch to make sure he's OK. [Yahoo] More »

Buhner, the goateed outfielder-turned-occasional-broadcaster for Mariners games, did little more than deploy a little hopeful homerism here. But he timed it perfectly. More »

In need of a little rejuvenation after the Angels' 7-3 loss last night to the Rangers, Torii Hunter entered a clubhouse oxygen chamber, thinking that would do the trick. It's not known what happened next—whether Hunter stayed in the chamber too long and was forgotten about, or whether no one realized he was in there in the first place. More »

The younger Weaver, who has been sneakily good out for the better part of five seasons out in Anaheim, seems to finally be putting it into overdrive. His shutout last night moves him to 6-0 on the season, rarefied air for April. More »

Angel Stadium: cursed. First Kendry Morales breaks his leg celebrating a walkoff home run. Now an 11-year-old kid breaks his arm during an onfield promotion. But young Beecher Halladay is more of a man about it than we'd ever be. More »

So the Yankees back up a dump truck and cover Mark Teixeira with money, causing former Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn to start whirling dirvishly in his grave. Here's some further reaction: More »

Not even Rally Monkey's shocking murder earlier in the game could keep the Angels from setting themselves up to win Game 4 of the ALDS, with Reggie Willits occupying third base with one out in the top of the ninth. But then, a botched squeeze bunt, resulting Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek's ass tag on Willits, pretty much ended things for the Anaheimians. Jed Lowrie singled home Jason Bay in the bottom of the ninth to win if for the Red Sox, 3-2, and now its on to the ALCS against some expansion team from Florida. More »

While the details of Donnie Moore's fateful pitch and tragic suicide have been somewhat overblown over the years, the fact remains that the Angels still seem to have no idea how to beat the Red Sox in the playoffs since that fateful day in 1986. After having won eight of the nine regular-season games between the teams this year, Los Angeles lost to Boston, 4-1, behind Jason Bay's two-run homer in Wednesday's Game One of the ALDS. That's 10 straight playoff wins for the Red Sox over the Angels, dating to when Boston beat California in extra innings in Game 5 of the '86 ALCS, thanks in part to Dave Henderson's ninth-inning homer off of Moore.

One day after the Angels broke the record for earliest clinching of the AL West, reliever Francisco Rodriguez started the real celebration. F-Rod earned his 57th save in LA's 7-4 win over the Mariners, tying the major league record set by Bobby Thigpen of the Chicago White Sox in 1990. By all accounts, he was a little excited about it. Holy crap. After this, what's he going to do when he breaks the record? Juggle cats? More »

Cubs outfielder Jim Edmonds has gotten past the drama of being traded from the Cardinals in the offseason. Or maybe not. After refusing to discuss his former manager, Tony La Russa, with the media, Edmonds proceeded to go two for four, both hits going yard in a 3-2 win over his ex-team. The game stretched to a tedious eleven innings with Cubs reliever Bob Howry getting the win. The loss was handed to the Cardinals Ryan Franklin with a bases loaded single by Henry Blanco to bring in the winning run. More »

So, you had tickets to the Angels game on Tuesday, but decided instead to go see Daddy Day Care. You foolish, foolish man.* You missed The Garret Anderson Carnival of the Unexplained, as our hero had 10 RBI ... yeah, 10 ... before 44,264 highly-caffeinated Angelistas, as the Angels blasted the Yankees 19-8.

Going to Anaheim? Head over to the Angels game; it's a better bet than any of the Disneyland rides. Los Angeles / Anaheim / California is 41-17 at home, the best record in the majors, plus no annoying Alyssa Milano to complain about the starting lineup. Then there's rookie Ryan Budde, whose double in the 10th brought home the winning run in the Angels' 7-6 win over the Yankees. Rally Monkey approves. More »
