The Story: The Angels' schedule for 2010 has been released. The Monkey Says: The schedule is highlighted by the Halos starting the season at home against the Twins, finishing on the road against Texas and facing the NL Central in interleague paly.
The Story: The trial of Andrew Gallo, the drunk-driving a-hole that killed Nick Adenhart and two others, has been delayed by several months. The Monkey Says: Gallo's attorney quit, so his new public defender needs time to get up to speed on the case. The families of the victims now must wait even longer to get justice for their deceased loved ones.
The Story: Buster Olney thinks the Cubs should go after Chone Figgins. The Monkey Says: Get used to this kind of speculation, Halo fans. Figgy is likely to be one of the top prizes on the market this off-season and at least a third of the league is going to show serious interest in him, so the rumors will only become more frequent as we near the end of the season.
AL West Update: The Rangers lost again to the Athletics last night, 6-1. The Monkey Says: Texas has now dropped three in a row and that loud beeping noise you hear is the Angels backing into the playoffs. The Angels' magic number is now 13.
