The Finger Wag

[Jay]

Actually I didn't know it was a thing.  I saw Cron do it on the close play at first base and I was humiliated as an Angels fan.

[Ohtaniland]

So for clarification, is Albert Pujols wagging his finger about the $24m he's getting this season or his .191 batting average? I'm not sure why he's wagging.

[Inside Pitch]

Funny that I didn't see the finger wag when they played the Royals.

 

 

Eeyorezone.

Humiliated?  Really?  Definition of Humiliated:

 

to cause (a person) a painful loss of pride, self-respect, or dignity; mortify.

 

Did any of these apply in these circumstance?  Meaning did that situation cause you a - a "painful" loss of pride b -  a loss of self-respect c -  loss of dignity d - mortified

 

Or was it hyperbole.  Reason I'm asking is that this in particular seems like a low threshold for humiliation...where do you go when something is truly humiliating?

Arte probably bought some stock in the foam finger industry.

Pretty sure he did it to signal to Scioscia that he beat the throw and wasn't out.

Yes

Agree but it was not a manly way to signal.

[mulwin444]

Yes

Hyperbole then...Pfew, I was concerned.

Wag of the finger for Colbert because his wag of the finger is above his shoulder.

Maybe they are paying tribute to all of the hard working and under appreciated proctologists?

Eeyorezone.

 

leave him alone, IP. calzone isn't happy unless he's miserable.

[Ohtaniland]

I think the A's just showed us where to stick that finger wag.

You must be pumped

[nando714]

Finger wag in their butts tonight

[Ohtaniland]

You must be pumped

No I'm not pumped. I'm really disappointed at the usual suspects. What is it with this team? They need Scioscia to start throwing furniture instead of the we just need to turn the page.

[Stradling]

You're a grown up do you need your boss to throw shit to do your job?

I wonder how this team would perform with a fiery type manager. The talent is there but they just don't look ready for every game. The furniture throwing was a joke but I think Scioscia is too laid back. This team should be playing at a much higher level.

Is this the first Fire Scioscia post of the year?

[mulwin444]

If only we had a fiery manager with a history of success like Hal McRae or Larry Bowa. 

[Jay]

Who comes up with the finger wag and other silly signs the team has used the last couple of years?

Maybe with a fiery type of manager this club would have had somebody that could have motivated them to have the best record and offense in the majors last year.

 

Alas, we are stuck with the terrible manager that we have.

 

Woe is us.

 

Claude, I hate to break it to you, but Mike Scioscia (the guy you want gone) is somewhat likely to end up being placed in the Hall of Fame as a manager.

 

Once again, woe is us.

 

FIRE SCIOSCIA for FIERY MANAGER!

"Claude, I hate to break it to you, but Mike Scioscia (the guy you want gone) is somewhat likely to end up being placed in the Hall of Fame as a manager."

 

Not if this board has anything to say about it.  I'm predicting something similar to the letter sent to Iran by Cotton to be drafted and delievered to Manfred detailing why Mike is so undeserving of Hall of Fame induction.

My thoughts on where this thread has gone.
