And?

Scioscia's bullpen management has been atrocious and he has made awful lineup and in-game decisions. This team has underperformed by a lot.

I understand that’s your opinion.

The Ms showing how its better to be lucky than good.

Take away our best two weeks (the hot start) and our worst (pick any) and the differential is closer to seattle than oakland. Which is roughly a .500 team, like we are.

I'm just sick of that lazy argument about sosh. Been hearing it for years.

Zero playoff wins since 2009. What more reason to you need to pull the plug?

[Taylor]

I'm so proud of Scioscia for scoring 11 runs tonight, and flexing his power.

Arte and the players like him, for whatever reason. He actually seems like a likeable guy. 

No plugs will be pulled during his final year. He'll graciously, and quietly, exit when the season is over. Our long national nightmare will end with a whimper.

Just hire Jeff Mathis to be manager & watch him continue the trend of benching players after going 4 for 5 with a HR.

I haven't posted here in pretty much forever

So I haul my ass back, and what do I see?  Stradling is still defending Scioscia.  LOL

I love you man, but holy crap!

I’m defending against shitty logic.   The organization gains zero from firing Scioscia 50 games before the end of his contract, nothing, nada, zilch.  All it does is give a very small percentage of fans a misguided fan erection.

I have had enough hearing about GMs, injuries, under-performing players, etc.  There are too many games where the team goes out there and looks completely uninterested in anything.  Like they are just collecting their game check and counting down the seconds until they can go home.  Someone needs to light a fire under their asses and Scioscia isn't the one.

I know this season is already lost, and it is time to sell anyone that can be sold that is on a walk year, but also time to cut ties with the lumbering idiot in the dugout.

Two more months dude.  Relax you will get what you want.

The organization can't lose either.  Scioscia's tenure is one big dumpster fire.

"Tenure one big dump fire"?

Franchise only WS, five division titles only manager with a career winning percentage: a dumpster fire???

I knew it, the 2002 card would be used here.

When you look back at the last 18 years, there has been ZERO consistency whatsoever from year to year.  Some years we win, some we lose, some the offense or pitching is great but hardly ever in consecutive seasons.  This is not the fruit of an organization that understands why we win or lose.
