Stadium Emptying For Another Angels Loss
Halos Heaven — Final Score in Anaheim: Orioles 5, Angels 1 Angels starting pitcher Joe Blanton will sing to his pillow tonight something like this "Why do you build me up just to let me down?"

As he wakes himself from a snore he might drift off thinking of signing with any other club, mumbling lyrically "...all for the prestige and the glory another human interest story." The Angels were mesmerized by some Baltimore pitcher. I almost fell asleep watching the dull dribblers and lightweight fly...

What if this week's Angels are as good as it gets?
Halos Heaven — What if this is as good as it gets? What if an 0-4 Joe Blanton has been pitching at the level he will continue to pitch at when things are their very best - when the optimum club, Seattle, is held to two or three runs, the myth of the quality start be damned. There are many components of the 2013 Angels team that we all hope get better. After 25 games we hope Joe Blanton gets better. We hope C.J. Wilson pitches more efficiently. We hope Jered Weaver heals up and goes back to being his old self. We hope Jason Vargas and Tommy Hanson are a but better than what they've shown. Luis Jimenez...

But they were really no match for Felix Hernandez. The Mariners ace went...
