Dino Ebel has paid his dues. Give him a shot.

 

I've longed for Dino to manage this team. Doesn't he have a great record when he's manager in Sosh's absence?

This is the Periwinkle Era summed up perfectly in one picture.

I hear there's one of Mo Vaughn falling down the stairs in the dugout and shitting his pants but I haven't been able to locate it.

After the 2012 season I vowed to refuse to step foot into the Big A until Scioscia is fired.

I went to one Angels/Skanks game in 2014 because a friend insisted that I went (he paid for my ticket) and we did win that game. All my other Angels games have been at Dodgers Stadium.

Please fire Scioscia and I'll go to the Big A. Otherwise, continue to enjoy not having my money Arte.

[fan_since79]

Speaking of Arte, I just read that the Angels team is worth over $1.1 billion. Arte paid $184 million for it, so it's now worth six times what he paid for it. And he paid CASH for it. I'm sure he can still afford to spend whatever it takes to get a winning team, luxury tax be damned.

This is exactly whats killing the team, the owner doesn't want to spend money he has just laying around in his nightstand that could get us good players.

I thought Scioscia did a fine job considering the injuries and lack of talent. I don't understand his benching players after a good game and some late game substitutions, but overall he's not the problem. It was Dipoto.

I was OK firing Scioscia when Francona was available but not for Dino or some bench coach. 

I want to know the replacement before I'd jump on this bandwagon.

Doesn't that mean it is worth $1.1B if he sells it?  I don't think it means he is netting $1.1B per year.

The money isn't laying around. You do understand that the $1.1 billion isn't in his bank account, right?

But I've gone to twice as many games so Arte didn't even miss your money. 

Sorry

Oops, I forgot...

 

Cool!!! Where have you been?

The fact that he continued to use bums like Bedrock & Norris along with brick gloves Cron & Valbuena shows he's got to go.

I read this post and I’m like yea why did he use those guys.  Then I look at the roster and I say, oh ok, that’s why.  

[Jimmag]

Scioscia know when Scioscia go.

[nando714]

Here's to hoping for a surprise retirement annnouncment 

[Docwaukee]

careful what you wish for.  

[fan_since79]

It's really time for a change for this tired, old team. Starts at the top.

Seventeen years now at the helm?? One playoff appearance in eight years, and if you blinked you missed that one.

Please, no more extensions. Give him his retirement tour and thank him for his service.

I have said in the past I think the team needs a new voice, BUT... i do not blame Scoscia for this season coming up short. 
Sure, hes made some questionable moves, and others that made me scratch my head that worked out for him, but the team coming up short was not his fault, not this season.  
I put the blame on the front office for being unwilling to spend till the team literally forced him to do so.  
Now it wont break my heart, i still think a new voice is needed, but im not sure who would be better thats available right now and if it does happen it shouldnt be for cause, but just to change the message.

When does Chad Curtis get out of jail? He'd be a great replacement. Played for the Halos, had a pretty decent career, knows his way around the minors, etc...

The year 2020.

and that playoff appearance happened partly due to nearly the whole Rangers team being on the DL for the whole year.

The Rangers lost like 99 games or so that year.

We won 98 games and had the best record in baseball.

...which in light of the first-round sweep by the Royals, is worth no more than a small coffee at McDonald's.
