Mike's REAL postgame comments

[FabulousFabregas]

"Our guys are playing hard.  There's a couple things you could call flies in the ointment when it comes to situational hitting."

On Blanton: "He's coming right after them, but any mistakes he made went out of the park."

"flies in the ointment"

 

lol what

[robblin17]

This guy is a lunatic.

[Richard]

What the hell!!?!

[FabulousFabregas]

"flies in the ointment"

 

lol what

I almost shit a brick when he said it.  Mike's finally got some new material.

[Jammer36]

What the hell does that even mean

In English, the phrase fly in the ointment is an idiomatic expression for a drawback, especially one that was not at first apparent.

[tdawg87]

Yeah that's one way of putting it.

Interesting, never heard or seen it before.

He could've said "sand in the vasoline". But then, he might get sued by the Stone Temple Pilots.

'FLIES in the vasoline we are.'

 

It would actually be pretty accurate right now, lol.

is it you, is it me, search for things that you can't see

[TroutField]

Does this guy ever get mad or is starting off 2-6 fine to him, we just need to "turn the page", I've defended Scioscia for over a year now but I'm done with him, we need a new manager that will light a fire under these guys

Goin blind, out of reach, somewhere in the...Angels 2013 season.

[OregonLAA]

I just laughed so hard reading that quote. I hope he has some more like that

[Brandon]

no, we need dudes that can hit with RISP.

if sosh swings the bat, then I put this shit on him.

I know before the game stared we were 9 for 54 with RISP. just ridiculous.

I'm not saying we need Ozzie Guillen, but we need somebody who shows some emotion.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

LOL

[Oz27]

While it's a lame cliche, he's right on the hitting. The only problem so far is the lack of situational hitting and the vast majority of that is luck. The problem is he's been given a f**king awful pitching staff to work with and there's few ways to polish a turd.

I don't take anything he says in the media seriously. He has always been like that. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he doesn't have the same attitude in the locker room.

[Sciosciapath]

I guess "flies in the ointment" are better than flies in the pasta. So for that Scioscia should be thankful.

Even if he shows emotion in the closed door meetings, he should be showing that fire during the games and all season long.

You guys are awesome. Haven't heard that in years.

[Agalloch]

LOL, how does he even come up with these? It would be a lot funnier if we didn't just get clobbered.

He buys so much beef, his butcher, Mike Butcher, throws in a free book of cliche excuses for the working professional.  The 2nd Edition just came out last December.
