AP: Scioscia downplays rift with Dipoto

[70runner]

''There's no philosophical differences,'' Scioscia said. ''Jerry and I are certainly, as far as our baseball philopsophies, in line.''

there you have it...we're all turning the same page

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

I would've been shocked if he didn't downplay the rift. If Dipoto or Moreno is asked about it, they'll downplay it too

It was love at first sight.

Two words come to mind. The first is BULL. I will let you figure out the second.

[Blarg]

Durham?

[tdawg87]

Moose?

[tdawg87]

Oh wait I just figured it out it's winkle

[Taylor]

Scioscia was also quoted as saying, "The moves have been coming out of Jerry's brain very well."

All this talk reminds me of 1999. The 2013 Angels appear heading down the same path, except Scioscia has been able to keep the clubhouse rifts much more under wraps. Not for long, though. Pujols is turning into the new Mo Vaughn.

Red Sox had the same problem with Francona and two years later they are back... I just want Scioscia gone so we can star working on the turnaround. It doesn't start till he is fired.

So we should fire both. Perfect.

[YouthofToday]

Well, since we must always believe what an Angels official says there obviously is not any issue in the front office, right?

I know what will solve the problem.  The Angels start winning and all of this bullshit can go away.

Yep, that's a perfect solution.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

I'm surprised nobody else has thought of that.

They have won 2 straight. That should do the trick

[Angel Oracle]

BULL PUCKY!

MULE FRITTERS!

And of course both Collins and Bavasi went bye bye!

Scioscia the fixer

At least Vaughn's deal was for only 5 years, and we got Appier's 2002 season as part of that.

[Hollyw00d]

Things arent as bad 99 yet, but they could get there in the next couple seasons if changes aren't made and this organization keeps on the direction it's going in

[Michifan]

I think it's funny that Scioscia still brings up Hatcher but then says he's gotten over it. I'm guessing he still brings up Jeffy when he and DiPoto get arguing too. Clearly he's not turned the page on losing his good buddy Mickey.

[Stradling]

This is a huge surprise. Mike who is known for giving such great quotes to the media comes out and says they are fine. I guess they must be fine then. Am I the only one that thinks the only professional thing any of them can do is to downplay it? My boss at work has been a self proclaimed prick to me for the last 8 years or so. If anyone else with my company asks me how our relationship is I only talk about the positive parts, because that's the right thing to do (that and the fact that he made sure I got a life changing promotion four years ago).
