Outdoor Hockey In Los Angeles Made For Some Awesome Photos
The Ducks-Kings Stadium Series game at Dodger Stadium created an interesting contrast: A thoroughly maintained block of ice in the middle of a city with nary a snowflake to be found. But anything's possible in Los Angeles, right?...

Any theoretical negotiation starts from this premise: He is 22 years old, and already the best player in baseball. (And if not for Miguel Cabrera's existence, he'd be the best by far.) We have already accepted that the economics of Mike Trout can't rely on past data, because there's nothing comparab...
MLB Investigates Yankees For Potential Tampering With Mike Trout
This seems like a whole lot of nothing, but we can stand behind anything to make baseball's silly season the sillier. Yesterday, Yankees president Randy Levine had this to say by way of explaining why the team was hesitant to give Robinson Cano too many years:...
Corey Perry Can't Be Stopped
I want to give Corey Perry all the credit in the world for this gorgeous goal-of-the-year candidate, a deking, falling, sliding shot from his knees. But then I remember it comes against the Islanders, who have lost 10 in a row and probably still would have conceded a goal had all of Perry's limbs fa...
Corey Perry Knocked Into Rangers Bench Twice In One Shift
Ryan McDonagh flipped Corey Perry into the Rangers' bench twice in the span of 12 seconds during Monday night's Ducks-Rangers game. What's the saying? Flip me once, shame on you. Flip me twice, my teammates come over to help....
Patrick Roy Goes Nuts, Breaks Stuff
It took all of one game for newly installed Avalanche coach Patrick Roy to lose his mind and physically destroy arena equipment. We missed you, Patrick. The NHL was just a little too sane without you....
Former Major Leaguer Scott Spiezio Is In Trouble With The Law Again
Scott Spiezio's big-league career ended in a downward spiral of substance abuse problems and scrapes with the law. Since being released from the Braves' minor-league system in April 2008, the former infielder who won World Series rings with the Angels and Cardinals appears to have kept his name out ...

Did J.B. Shuck Make The Catch Of The Year Last Night?
If you go over the wall to make the catch, you're automatically in the discussion for catch of the year. J.B. Shuck did exactly that to rob Jose Bautista of a homer on this incredible catch last night....
Report: Albert Pujols Likely Done For Season
Albert Pujols was placed on the disabled list this morning with a partially torn plantar fascia ligament in his left foot. It was initially hoped the injury would only keep Pujols off the field for a couple weeks, but according to Tim Brown, Pujols has been told he's probably done for the season and...
Angels Reliever Rescues Injured Pigeon During Game

Hey The Cubs, Heads Up!

Why Don't We Let Injured Athletes Use PEDs?
Reliever Ryan Madson missed all of 2012 after Tommy John surgery, but signed with the Angels expecting to be healthy to begin the season. It hasn't happened, and he doesn't seem much closer. So he wonders, "If HGH were legal..."...
Gentlemanly Angels Fan Runs Away, Allows Flying Bat To Just Miss Woman
This has kind of become a thing in recent years, hasn't it? A man and a woman are seated next to each other at a baseball park. They are enjoying themselves, relaxing to the game's gentle rhythms, when all of a—HOLYSHITIT'SCOMINGRIGHTATUSRUNFORYOURLIVES!...
Mike Trout Was Born To Hit For The Cycle
It's almost surprising that it took Mike Trout this long—his 224th career major league game—to hit for the cycle. But this generation's prototypical five-tool player rectified that last night, and finished it off in style....
MLB Has Disciplined The Umps From Last Night's Angels-Astros Game
Well, what do you know? MLB has not only decided to swing its shithammer at the crew that screwed up a basic rules interpretation during last night's Angels-Astros game. It's also publicizing the discipline being meted out....
Umps Don't Give A Shit As Astros Make Illegal Pitching Change
The human element is really on a roll this week. Approximately 24 hours after the umpires in Cleveland reviewed an obvious home run and declared it wasn't a home run, another blue crew in Houston allowed the Astros to make a pitching change that is explictly prohibited by MLB's rules....
