loved him on the broadcast. felt like i was with an old friend whenever he was talking. learned an awful lot from him, too. he had terrific insights into the game.

Good losses are for your kids winless little league team.

If he wanted a legacy, he would have stayed in St. Louis, where he was a hero and won multiple WS.  Instead he threw away his legacy, moved his family (or separated himself from his family) all to chase the few extra sheckels that Arte offered.
 
Dudes like that do not give up millions on the table.

Sucks.  And blows.

Here's the latest inane opinion (since it doesn't absolve Scioscia of responsibility).  Rosenthal has it about right.  This team is 11-20, losing nearly every series, and battling with Houston for last place.  Its a ponderous team centered around a couple multi-millionaires, both struggling to hit their weight.  Scioscia maintains his calm demeanor (at least publically) and his players appear content, as calm as their manager.   Scioscia is responsible for the performance of the team.  Performance has been bad during and since ST and not getting any better.  Scioscia needs to go (with Butcher).  And Arte needs to dump his famous all star model as a free agent hiring strategy.

It's an opinion.
We've had no shortage of snide, snippy posts of absolutely no value from you for years. You are likely the most unpleasant person I've ever encountered on this board or any other.
I bet you are much more likeable in real life. Otherwise you would be taking a weekly beating.

There's other things, little things that Scioscia doesn't do.  Like what's with Trumbo dropping pop  ups over and over again?  Did Scioscia go over how to properly catch a pop up with him?  Why does he keep dropping those?  And Kendrick in the Oakland series made a key error in a 1 run game by backhanding a ball, he did the SAME thing yesterday.  Is anyone, (like a manager maybe), gonna scold him or instruct him how to get in front of a ball so he doesnt cost the team a win?  
 
Apart from the terrible defense, the baserunning has been atrocious since '04.  Even good baserunners like Pujols and Hamilton come here and do stupid shit, costing the team big innings and big outs.
 
Scioscia's bullpen usage has been key to at least 4 losses, I'm not gonna go over all of them, but my god it seems like he puts the opposing team in a better position to win with his bullpen management.  That 7-2 lead in the 8th inning against the a's was an example of how clueless he is when using his bullpen.  2 days later Cespedes comes up with 2 outs in the 9th and gets a 2-0 count against frieri, frieri throws one down the middle making the count 2-1.  I scream at the TV: DONT THROW THAT PITCH EVER AGAIN! JUST WALK HIM!   What does Scioscia do?  NOTHING, frieri throws the same exact pitch down the middle and cespedes swings and ties the game in the 9th with 2 outs.  UNBELIEVABLE!
 
Oh, and remember not intentionally walking Joey friggen Votto the first game of the year with the game on the line?  
 
People don't wanna blame Scioscia for anything, but he deserves a lot of blame for why this team is so horrendous.  He doesn't even MANAGE ANYTHING ANYMORE.  Not the baserunning, not the fielding, not the pitching..nothing.

Awesome choice of words.

Take this from someone who knows the two hole.

Arte should hire this broad to talk to the team.
They could use a good c punt. 

You bought it, you own it.
The Angels are being clowns/bullies about the ticket market.

What a stupid question.
With all due respect.

Motion to delete every single "anti-ex-Ranger-player" post that ends up on this site, dirtying up our threads. 
 
These douchebags don't belong here, getting their thoughts read, talking crap on our guys.
 
We've heard every single stupid "hate excuse" before. It's a broken record. 
 
They need to know they don't belong here. 

I think even Jime Rome would give that one the triple U.

Yeah, I don't 100% hate the bunt call, but with a guy like Trout, I think you roll the dice and see what happens. Aybar was hitting well today and anything in the gap scores Trout easily. 

Fire Scioscia 
 
But for real, the bunt was an expected, dumb Scioscia move. Trout can get himself into scoring position. Don't waste an out. It's not like it's Pujols on first. Trout scores on a gapper. 

'I don't get disappointed any more.  That's an adolescent approach.'
 
That's a douchy thing to say, right?  A millionaire employee who is unable to do his job isn't disappointed?  Someone sounds awfully complacent.
