I'm going to play this one safe and call bullshit.

"...make sure that they are comfortable being on the same page."

"As long as I can control him, that is what really matters. I don't care about the name."

This should erase all doubt about who is running the show.

“I don’t plan on being part of any selection committee,” Scioscia said.

 

 

 

I don't think he will be invited to be on the selection committee for a new manager as well.

[Ohtaniland]

You just know that the new GM is going to come in and say all the right things and that he's looking forward to working with Mike Scioscia.

Scioscia said he would be happy to talk to any candidates, but otherwise would trust that owner Arte Moreno and president John Carpino would hire someone who is “on the same page” with him.

 

“And obviously if any potential GM wants to have those conversations with me, obviously I’d love that, just to make sure that they’re comfortable with being on the same page.”

 

In other words, he expects the Angels to hire someone to accommodate him, not the person who's in the best interest of the organization.  Unbelievable.  He's right up there with A-Rod on the narcissistic sociopath spectrum.

No worries he will vote by proxy.

Why even the need to bring this up Sosh

Hopefully the new GM will have influence over who the manager is though.  New GM might like Mike.  But it should be his decision.

New GM might like Mike. 

 

Welcome back, Jeff.

[Puget Sound Angel]

It's already Sosh's job.

[seenoevil]

Be like Mike, you got the job

[Sciosciapath]

Unbelievable. He's right up there with A-Rod on the narcissistic sociopath spectrum.

Sup

[Jobu]

But how can anyone get on the same page when he's always turning to the next one?

[zenmaster]

Why do we even need a GM?

[Homebrewer]

He's going to let Arte turn his own pages?

[ukyah]

it's too big of a subject for me to really tackle here without going into a long rant, and nobody is interested in that. so i'll just say, the more i've gotten to know him, the more i really dislike scioscia. also, you guys are crazy if you think arte's firing scioscia, and scioscia isn't opting out. he's in a manager's dream land with arte.

[Angel Oracle]

Arte and Sosh need to get a room.

<<Arte and Sosh need to get a room.>>

You really think MS drives all the way home to Thousand Oaks EVERY night?
