please take Scioscia, please take Scioscia, please take Scioscia!
 

If you read the article, I can tell you what the difference is between Eppler letting Butcher and Baylor go and Dipoto letting Hatcher go... and Scioscia mentions it when he says, "Butch has a lot to offer. I know he’ll get a role and be a terrific pitching coach."
 
Butcher very well may get another shot at being a pitching coach.... there is no ****ing way in hell that any other team and I mean ANY. OTHER. TEAM. would ever hire Mickey ****ing Hatcher to be their ball boy, let alone, their hitting coach.

I think it would... I would return to both.  I will buy season tickets again, and become more active on AW again.  Until he is gone, I am.

2002 is a long time ago. That's all that needs to be said.
 
As for a serious answer to the question. Both.

Lets get a new manager...that's the only way (other than taking your word for it) that we are going to find out.
I'm willing to take that chance.

Here's the situation as I see it.  Scioscia refuses to use analytics and scouting reports - we know this from Dipoto.  Why wouldn't anyone want to use every advantage to win?  Yet Scioscia ignores facts.  He goes with his gut.
 
So if it comes down to me wanting the team to win more than the Manager, it tells me, I need to save my stomach and my blood pressure and step away.  It is only going to frustrate me more by watching it... becuase he will not make the moves that should be made.
 
The game has passed him by.  When he leaves, I will return.

If Scioscia is allowed to manage again next year, Arte is just going to have to pony up to buy more tickets at the end of the year so he can hit the 3M mark.
 
Scioscia is the single reason that I have tanken a step back from caring about the Angels.  As long as he is there, I, and a lot of other fans, will continue to take a step back.
 
The Angels front office is a joke.

I have come the conclusion that Scioscia is a bonafide liar when it comes down to matters of the team of the field. He is going to tell the press what he wants them to write and that it. Truth or not. And most times it's not.

Dipoto is a far better man than I.
 
Scioscia is a son of a bitch.

I'm going to play this one safe and call bullshit.

What does it matter folks!?!?!?!  Scioscia is running this show... right into the ground.

Coors Light???Enough said. Disney without a doubt.

Scioscia has done an excellent job this season keeping information from poorly performing players on a well constructed team.  

If I were the CEO I would have empowered the man to do the job he was hired to do... and he wouldn't have left.

Dipoto is a far better man than I.

The very thought that Scioscia would not use every advantage at his hands to help the team win pisses me off.
 
Guess what folks, yes, you and I want the Angels to win far more than their own manager.  So why bother watching anymore?
