Absolutely disagree. Baylor will not be a "yes man" to Scioscia... its not in his personality. Hopefully they are good enough friends that Scioscia will stop, listen, and take it in. The thing Sciosica has lacked since the departure of Maddon, Black, and Roenicke, is someone that can get in his grill and challenge him. Without that type of coach helping him, Scioscia is nothing more than a mediocre manager. And the record proves it.

Here we go again with absolute ignorance. If you don't think that players take much from their coaches you need look no further than what Garret Anderson turned into under the tutelage of Rod Carew or more recently how this team hit (or didn't) under Mickey Hatcher. Please LT... don't be obtuse.

If it puts pressure on Sciosica then I am all for it. Scioscia has been skating too long. Hold his feet to the fire and his belly to the burner!

This makes Angel25Fan VERY VERY HAPPY!!!! And I doubt seriously that he will be just another Scioscia "yes man". If Scioscia is going to still be the manager, its time for him to be surrounded by people that will challenge him again.

Scioscia now has 14 seasons under his belt. In that time the Angels regular season record in March/April is 171-180. Only one year were the Angels greater than 4 games over .500 (2008). The last two years the Angels have a record of 17-32 (note - these last two years there has supposedly been considerable effort to turn this around). This falls on the manager for not having his team ready to play coming out of the gate. They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. I would say that some decision maker in the Angels FO is making a case for insanity by allowing Scioscia to continue to manage.

Without a doubt it was Weaver. We dropped what we were doing and went to the ballpark the night he threw his first game. Stood on the Terrace concourse the whole game just to watch him pitch.

When Albert comes back with a vengeance next year, we are all going to be thanking Jack Clark.

None of them have the same voice with Scioscia. Thats the problem. It started when Maddon and Black left and only got worse when Roenicke left. They used push him, argue with him, challenge him. They made him a great manager. Problem is his ego is bigger than his waistline and he thinks its all him. So he replaced those guys with a bunch of "yes" men. #FireThemALL

Without a doubt. That would happen if Scioscia was fired. No one in their right might would keep the likes of Butcher, Eppard, or Ebel around. Griffin might be the only one that anyone would hang on to.

Until its done, EVERY THREAD should be a #FireScioscia thread!

How about looking at the one series in the last two months that actually counted for something (the last one)?

"We had a good run here. I guess the time just came where they feltI am so big I was getting in the way of myself and the team. Of course that can't be true because I'm never wrong and I never make mistakes"

POLL: Majority of Americans in favor of sending Congress to Syria http://www.theonion.com/articles/poll-majority-of-americans-approve-of-sending-cong,33752/

What am I missing here?!?!? Arte isn't changing the name unless you count dropping the "of Anaheim" and the lease extension allows him to do it. We are the Los Angeles Angels. Like it or not. It has grown on me. Many back in the ESPN days know of my hatred at the time of the name change. I have come to embrace it, love it, and shove it in a Dodger fan's face whenever I can.

They aren't going anywhere.... Arte will make more money developing the parking lot (which CoA will give him) and doing a remodel of the stadium, then he would moving and building a brand new stadium.

He's been doing this kind of shit since day 1. Problem now is that it is leading to WWIII

Only way to get that to happen is if a person or group creates a lawsuit against the President and/or congress, I think.

Reports coming out now that Senate is going to vote tomorrow. If the senate turns its back on their constituents, it's time for all of us, left, right, and in between to come together and hold those voting in favor accountable.

No doubt. Just like the right thing for congress to do, is to listen to their constituents and in turn tell BHO to pound sand.

Don't give BHO too many props for asking congress. If congress votes it down, he is going to blame it on the republican who love to see women and children die at the hands of evil people. Hopefully the American public will call bullshit when he does.

What didn't he like? My saying I think we should let them kill each other or me misinterpreting your post? if its the latter - it was a team effort bud!

No Cory. NOT this country. The assholes running it. Who knows - I have heard there is somewhere between 80% and 85% who oppose BHO and the war mongers who want to make names for themselves. Maybe, jut maybe, this is the wake up call to the American people that we need real change in leadership to fix this mess.

Diplomacy doesn't work when you are dealing with people who love death more than they love life. There is no diplomacy. That why I say, stay out of it and let them kill each other. Its what THEY want.
