Subject: St. Louis Cardinals

• That's Ducked Up

  In their own inimitable fashion, our friends over at the Riverfront Times, the Weekly's sister paper in St. Louis, have shown our Ducks a little love. OK, maybe more than a little. Perhaps even a bit too much. As the title of that disturbing image implies, they do this every week. (The Cinco de Mayo installment was particularly caliente.) It's about the funniest goddamn thing I've seen on the Internets in a while. So have a good laugh—and if anyone out there has similarly embarrassing pho

• How Dare Joe Maddon Bone Chone Figgins . . . and Brian Fuentes, Too

  Roger Lodge, who hosts The Sports Lodge on AM830 that is broadcast live from Angel Stadium, went off on Joe Maddon, the Tampa Bay Rays manager who also skippered the winning American League team in Tuesday night's All-Star Game from St. Louis. During a portion of his show that is simulcast on Channel 5's KTLA Morning News, Lodge took the flat-topped, snow haired manager to task for failing to get Los Angeles of Anaheim's Chone Figgins into the game, despite Figgy having moved mountains to make

  ​The American League Division Series between the Red Sox and Angels is not only the battle of Boston vs. Los Angeles of Anaheim, of East Coast vs. Left Coast, of Beantown vs. Beanertown.

  Mike Scioscia fires back. Before the first pitch is even thrown in the first game of the American League Division Series pitting Your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim against the Boston Red Sox (game time is 6:37 p.m. Thursday at the Big A), manager Mike Scioscia has been asked incessantly about the same painful subject: His Halos' string of playoff losses to the bruisers from Beantown. ​Strangely, he is not asked so much about the Angels' mastery of the Sox during the

Before Angel fans can truly hate the Boston Red Sox--actually, if 1986 playoffs didn't do it, nothing will--they must first hate the team's fans, the residents of the town surrounding Fenway Park and the town itself. ​(Along those lines, a Halos cap tip to Village Voice Media Vice President of Blog Stirring Bill Jensen for this apt name for annoying Bostonians: Massholes.

  Angels owner Arte Moreno don't need no stinkin' ticket price cuts. Major League Baseball franchises have taken a hammering in attendance this season (thank you, shitty U.S. economy!), so all the teams that are playoff-bound or possibly so are resisting the common end-of-season ticket-price gouging. That is, all teams are except one. Ladies and gentlemen, your Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim! Reports Forbes: Clubs poised for post-season play have learned a lesson from the e
