Angels Add Teixeira, Fail to Spell His Name Accurately

The best team in baseball this year just became a little bit better.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California from Anaheim of the west coast, acquired all-star 1st baseman Mark Teixeira late Tuesday. Teixeira had spent only a year in Atlanta, who traded to get him at last year's trade deadline.

With the addition the Angels beef up their offensive power that already features a terrifying lineup to opposing pitchers, namely, Torii Hunter, Vladimir Guerrero, and Garret Anderson.

The other thing that fans of the franchise will appreciate is the fact that the front office acquired some balls on this one and pulled the trigger on a semi-blockbuster trade to bolster their postseason chances. They've been criticized before for failing to make something happen and improve late in a season.

20 homers, 78 RBI's so far this season for Teixeira. And a last name that sounds nothing like it is spelled. Brett Fav-ra and Mike Shisheffsky would be so proud.
