Another week, another set of changes strikes Monkey With a Halo.  But as always, the changes are for nothing but good.

The biggest piece of news is that we have brought on board another writer to help out.  And that new writer is (drumroll)... Jonathan Lyons!  For now, Jonathan will be handling game previews and recaps on Friday.  He'll be introducing himself later on today, so be sure to give him a warm welcome.

Also, as you might have already noticed, we have introduced a fantastic new commenting system that should make life a whole lot better around here.  There are a few hoops you have to jump through to get started, but nothing too bad.  Details are after the jump...

Please make sure your seat belt is securely fastened and keep all arms and legs inside the blog.

Daily Links for the LA Angels including Aybar should be back Monday, Weaver and Haren join some impressive company, Abreu getting his southpaw groove back and much more...

His extra innings single (woo!) was a good start last night, but Vernon Wells still has a long way to go before we consider him fixed.  Here are ten "helpful" suggestions that should get the embattled slugger back on track.

This press conference going to be awkward.

Now that we've passed the all important... umm, 2/27th mark of the season, let's take a look at what early developments we should actually buy into and which ones we should sell high on before they come crashing back to earth.

If only playing the stock market were this easy.

Daily Links for the LA Angels including Aybar should be back next week, worrying about the rest of the rotation after Weaver and Haren, assessing if Howie's hot start is for real and much more...

Well, thanks to Scott Downs in the 8th, the Angels were faced with the prospect of yet ANOTHER extra innings fiasco. These extra innings wouldn't bother me this much if it wasn't for the fact that the Angels' offense seems to shut down after the 9th inning. Thank god the Angels put an end to the game before things got out of hand. Now that it's over the Angels can look to moving forward and take on a key road series early on. It's great that the Angels have taken 3 series in a row, going 6-2 the past 3 series.

Angels 4 Indians 3 
 

Between helping launch a new website and coming to the defense of Vernon Wells, I'm too tired to write a full article today.  But I'm not too tired to cobble together some random thoughts.  Monkeying Around to the rescue!

You call that a first pitch?  Lazy ass monkey.
