Scioscia will be using the All-Star break as a chance to retool, reshuffle, and give a break to a few on the halo’s rotation -- unfortunately the Angels will go with the same five starters, when the season starts back up on Friday (Colon will still be there).

When The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (just wanted to say that ridiculous name) start the second half, they'll begin with Kelvim Escobar on Friday in Texas, followed by Jered Weaver and John Lackey finishing out the series against the Rangers. No doubt the top three pitchers we have at the moment. Following an off day on Monday, the Angels will start road warrior Ervin Santana and Bartolo Colon on Tuesday and Wednesday, against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, at Tampa.

Lackey will get a little extra rest, because the Big Texan -- 11-5 with a 2.91 ERA and 98 strikeouts in 120 2/3 innings -- is headed to San Francisco for Tuesday's All-Star Game.

On a side note look for your favorite Rally Monkey founder to be swimming for Home Runs in McCovey Cove both during the All-Star game as well as the Home Run Derby.
