I'm Pretty Sure the Angels Are Cursed

Another day, another player added to the Angels disabled list.

A team starved for offense lost another of its top hitters Wednesday when second baseman Howie Kendrck, who was batting .327, went on the 15-day disabled list because of a broken bone in his left hand.

Kendrick, hit by a Chad Gaudin fastball in the seventh inning Tuesday night, returned to Southern California on Wednesday for an MRI test and CT scan, which revealed a non-displaced fracture at the base of his middle finger.

The team has no set timetable for when Kendrick will return but he's likely to be out until the start of June.

In case you haven't been paying attention, here's the list of Angels who've spent time on the DL this season.

Jered Weaver (just returned)
Bartolo Colon
Chone Figgins
Robb Quinlan

That list doesn't even include the latest injury to Vladimir Guerrero's wrist.

As for the struggling Angels offense, I'm not sure that's a fair assessment. You have to have an offense for it to struggle, and the Angels haven't had one period lately. After being shutout by Dan Haren and the Athletics on Wednesday night, the Angels have scored six runs in their last six games. Not coincedentally, they're 0-6 in that span.

To replace Kendrick on the roster, the Angels are expected to bring up the promising Brandon Wood from the minors.
