I'm surprised because I really did think Weaver was going to leave, or a chance of being traded next year (due to the fear of him not staying with Anaheim)

How can you not love this guy. I might have to go buy a jersey now.

Jered Weaver bucks Scott Boras advice with new Los Angeles Angels deal - ESPN Los Angeles

If $85 (million) is not enough to take care of my family and other generations of families then I'm pretty stupid, but how much money do you really need in life?" Weaver said Tuesday. "I've never played this game for the money. I played it for the love and the competitive part of it. It just so happens that baseball's going to be taking care of me for the rest of my life.

Obviously, he wants to give you the best options and free agency can give you the best options," Weaver said. "He would have liked to have seen me gone, but I told him I wanted to get something done and he was more than willing to work with me about it that way.

How much more do you need?" Weaver asked about his deal. "Could have got more, whatever. Who cares?

Three man rotation of Weaver, Harden and Santana is solid. A huge series this weekend. If only they can hit, this team may...

Hard to believe that Texas came to town last week and took 3 out of 4 from us easily. But that last game against Texas with the walk-off seem to have given the Halos an extra life.

Now we're just 2.5 games back with lots of momentum going INTO Texas for a 3 game series. Come on Halos... this is your chance to reclaim the division lead!

Well the Halos did get 7 runs but gave up 11 last night :( They need to regroup and win the next two games to take the series.

Halos only two back, tomorrows game is going to be big

Halos won last night, and I'm hoping Weaver will have a huge win tonight too!

Looks like we'll have to win the division by defeating other teams before we play the 3 game season finale against Texas. I don't like our chances against the Rangers this season at all.. =\ We're screwed if the division came down to those final 3 games.

The schedule on paper is easier for the Halos but only on paper. I am hoping that the Rangers struggle against the Rays and the Angels can take 2-3 from the hated ones. I still like there chances but the Rangers have dominated them this year.

The Rays are on a roll and need to crush the Rangers for the Angels to have any chance of staying in the race. The Angels will also need to win a few games along the way.
