Huston Street Vents

[Chuck]

"There needs to be a sense of urgency," Street said. "Guys need to feel that, and I wanted people to at least hear it, or feel it, or something. Because it's time."

[Blarg]

How urgently did he blow that save last week?

Isn't that the manager's job? 

 

I'd bet that statement was aimed at Scioscia.

It's actually nice to see somebody show some type of emotion on this team.  You just got your ass kicked for the 2nd night in a row, there should be a lot of pissed off people in that clubhouse. 

[Tyler]

Need a leader like him. Love it.

[Dick B Back]

So lets see if that gets the players to start playing like major leaguers at least. The roster is full of holes but they can play better than they have.

The last time a player made a similar statement directed at Scioscia, Arte ended up lowballing him during contract negoitations then replacing him with Josh Hamilton at well over double the price.

It's nice to see a player get as frustrated we do. I don't think it will spark anything but it's nice to have Huston, he seems like a leader and cares about the team.

[tdawg87]

This will motivate the Angels to only lose 8-4 tonight.

Shit happens. He blows a save so that means he doesn't care about winning?

Why is it always sosh's fault? At some point the players have to be accountable for their horrible play.

Someone said that Scioscia stood there with his usual blank stare as Street was venting last night.

You can't fire an entire MLB roster.  So firing a manager becomes a proxy for that move.  And, as a proxy move, it's overdue.

Agree.

Glad he didn't remove his jersey and throw it onto the field.

By several years.

Hard to be urgent with so many pages in the book.

[Vladfan]

This isn't Scoiscia's fault. The players aren't executing again. Sometimes a player needs to step up and be a leader and let his team know that they suck.

[floplag]

Scoscia has none, the players have none.. im for one am tired of watching guys get paid to play a kids game and act like it doesnt matter.  we care more than they seem to, and something is wrong with that in sports today in general.
I am happy that he blew up, wonder where the team leaders are that he had to be the one to do it, and the blown save doesnt matter is int like anyone on this team has been perfect so. 

[eligrba]

I think the Angels are executing the "tip the cap" and "turn the page" as well as I have ever seen. 

[Tank]

you guys are funny. always looking to blame the manager when the players don't perform.

 

the most successful manager during the most successful era, and you guys want to dump him like a bad habit.

[tennischmp]

I guess he got tired of turning pages

[henry]

Is urgency on one of the pages we keep turning?

[gurn67]

I wonder who Arte will be paying him to pitch for next year?
