It's really a shame that a good manager had to be made "an example".   I lost respect in the franchise for that cowardly decision.  

I’m not sure he was good or bad but Jesus Christ couldn’t have made a difference managing the team.

You successfully cut and pasted  two words.   We are all proud of you Strad!  
 

Now have your pudding and check back in tomorrow.   We can work on people skills.

Sorry. But you talking about people skills is hilarious.

Correctumundo.   
 

Of course the rock head Scoccia contingent were more than happy to see the halos fail in order to validate their misguided nostalgia

Move along.   Time for the grown ups to dialog.

Grown ups?  You are living in a dream world where Nevin was untouchable in your eyes and you put yourself in the category of grown up.  Find a mirror and take a deep look.

Nobody wanted them to fail because they didn’t like Nevin or miss Scioscia. That’s rather silly. Myself, and I assume everyone here, are sick of the Halos losing every single season. The team was not progressing under Nevin so he got canned. It happens to other teams and it will happen with a future Angels manager too. I really hope Arte sells the team and the new ownership takes the franchise in a whole new direction with a new philosophy. I’m also a Washington Commanders fan and like the Angels, have been crap under Snyder. Things will change for them and hopefully that is in the Angels future too.

Don’t hate women. Men and women are different. We should embrace that and understand there are professions and skill sets that each will always be better than the other. It’s as simple as dad and mom.

And managing a baseball team can be done by either.

do we have any real life examples of a female baseball manager in the minors or in college? would love to know how that turned it out if there's one we can use as an example.

i'm not opposed to hiring the best person available, be that who it may be, but whoever is the first female MLB manager will have a lot of challenges a male probably won't have.

The Yankees have a minor league manager that’s female. And the Giants have a female first base coach that they think enough of to interview her. Now the morons will say it’s a SF type of interview, which is asinine. No one has time to give pity interviews.

Kim Ng, MLB's first female GM, leaving Miami Marlins after rare winning season

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/kim-ng-mlbs-first-female-gm-leaving-miami-marlins-rare-winning-season-rcna120676

The team had exercised a mutual option to bring Ng back for 2024, but she declined her end of the deal, Marlins chairman and principal owner Bruce Sherman announced.

“Last week, Bruce and I discussed his plan to reshape the Baseball Operations department. In our discussions, it became apparent that we were not completely aligned on what that should look like,” Ng said.

If you really pay attention to nfl games, they are horrible at officiating despite having the easiest job.

Here's a great idea, the Giants should hire Ng as a GM and the other gal as the manager.

Since women get along in the workplace so well.
