Hollywood Blvd. News – Los Angeles Angels Edition
- Updated: October 17, 2014
We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Angels.
Proudly referred to as “the best team in baseball”, the Los Angeles Angels held the best record in the MLB for the latter part of the season.
“Then the playoffs began.
Five days later, the players from the best team in baseball were cleaning out their lockers. Gone. Swept in three games by the Kansas City Royals in the American League Divisional Series.
The Angels collapse can be contributed to many things, but simply put, the ”best team in baseball” failed to show up against the Royals.
Putting the “0” in Offense
Josh Hamilton. Albert Pujols. Mike Trout.
The heart of the Los Angeles order reads like an All-Star team, or the brainchild of a gamer exploiting trade mechanics in the latest iteration of “The Show” on PlayStation.
The trio combined for a .276 average with 74 home runs and 260 RBIs during the regular season. In three postseason games, they went 3-for-37 (.081) with three home runs and four RBIs.”

After being swept by the Kansas City Royals, the Los Angeles Angels’ Josh Hamilton voiced his distaste with Angels fans.
“One of their biggest stars had an absolutely terrible ALDS —Josh Hamilton. The outfielder had a lot of trouble staying healthy this season, which left many Angels fans upset with him.
In some recent comments to the Orange County Register, Hamilton comes off as a guy who’s fed up with fan hate after getting booed in the ALDS:
“I thought it was pretty funny, after my third at bat of the first game, I got booed. I’m like, seriously? I’m out for a month, put all kinds of poison in my body to even attempt to play, and get booed. Whatever. It’s kind of comical…I don’t take offense to it because they don’t know me. There is no personal interaction.”
