Maybe.  But I think the spirit of it all is don’t upstage or distract from the WS.  I don’t really think would be that big of a national story to upstage or distract.

Just my opinion.  But also who cares if they just waited.

I do!

The sooner the better! There’s a beach chair with my name on it.

That doesnt sound like Trout.

Maybe. Maybe not. If he is a leader on the club (which most assuredly, he is, albeit a quiet one), he might have addressed any issues that his teammates had with Ausmus. 

I'm not saying he did, but it's possible. He certainly wouldn't be airing any discontentments anywhere within earshot of the media.

Has anyone spotted Maddon on the 5 yet?

Takes him awhile to get there in his RV.

It's Maddon, cheesehead.

I thought that maybe we were hiring the former Raiders coach.

Any rumors of a scheduled press conference from the Angels before you hit the sand?

Good catch, I definitely didn't notice that and do it intentionally...

Eppler has a conference call today but I don’t know the time yet.

Wait... we expect you to report to the Arizona Fall League and cover all the Angels prospects; especially, Jo Adell.  And it's about time you launched a weekly podcast as well.  We'll give you a week off in December. Until then... get cracking.

Ron Washington..........f that!

It would be humorous though.  Maybe that Ranger Fan guy that lives with his mother and goes through way too much Kleenex would post again...

Del Tacos between SoCal and Detroit (They aren't in Chicago), better be on high alert.

[Angel Oracle]

If you are talking about the wrong spelling Madden, there's always this guy, if he was still alive.    He was a pretty good manager in his day.

We said the same thing when sosh left...

Im not defending ausmus. And who knows why he was let go. But if its the WL record, thats stupid...

Yeah not saying it's right, I just like Maddon  and think an attitude like his would be good for this team. But just getting Maddon ain't gonna save this team, I know this!!

The wait for Joe to be hired is Maddoning.

I’d like to see them hire Will Ferrell. After the year we’ve all been through, we could use the comic relief.

Will Ferrell should replace Gubicza or at least be at post game coverage. Will Ferrell is the most famous Angels fan that i've heard of.

Nixon was an Angels fan ? He should had his people rig the playoffs for the Angels in 1970s instead of breaking into watergate.

I really don't care about Ausmus but firing a manager after one season to me just seems like a sign of dysfunction.  

I agree with you but in light of Madden leaving Chicago, I think this may have been a necessity. 

[disarcina]

Ausmus had a three year contract.

from the way outside looking in - it appeared to me that Ausmus was a place keeper /care taker type choice with the Halos pretty much treading water for three years.

When Joe Maddon suddenly became available -- all bets off and everything changed -- which is good news for Halos fans,

Maddon at 65 or whatever his age is - isn't going to go to a team with a place keeper approach -- so Arte may open his wallet up for an ace rotation guy like Cole, Strasburg or Bumgarner and with Maddon on board, top pitchers like that might even want to play here.  Can't wait for the Maddon announcement and Jeff Fletcher who knows a heck of lot more than the rest of us - - is probably right - the announcement comes sometime this week an definitely before the World Series starts,

If it's not Maddon, not sure why Ausmus gets fired after one year..  I liked Ausmus -- seemed like a good guy. Nice change from Scioscia -- end of season results/ record - 90 losses not so good -- not all of that is on Ausmus,, though.
