This means they won't be able to spin it when they fire him.

The same words describe his managing.

Stuff like that is the reason why AM830 is a glorified Angels/Scioscia propaganda network.

lol they're going to stick with Blanton because of his "track record."  His track record is awful.

Lodge is such a tool, even after a terrible start a softball interview.  That's why the Angels/SoCal baseballl are considered a joke to many, not even accountability from radio hosts/journalists around here.

Is he becoming self aware, or is he even dumber than we thought?

"The balls were coming out of the ump's sack real nice tonight.  It's time to turn the page on his manhood."

The new long Weaversque hair is really the PIECE for him, it appears.

Christopher Lloyd was on our side for that inning.

There's always money in the banana stand.

Scioscia would get a 50 year extension, and still manage the team beyond the grade via a Scioscia magic 8 ball (shake up the lineup/lefty lefty matchup/suicide squeeze).

Total troll thread.  Angels have massive payroll and have missed playoffs 3 years straight.
 
Rays have low payroll and missed playoffs last year.  Apples and oranges.

We beat the Twins handily in 2002, what's the deal?

I know we've got quite a few guys injured, but Shuck leading off makes zero sense.  Trout leading off with Kendrick or Iannetta hitting second seems far more practical.  Or, how about playing Bourjos?
 
Our lack of depth though is being totally exposed, we need to trade for an Izturis type utility infielder pronto.

I miss Izturis.

Hopefully in Dipoto's office.

"Jerry and I are looking into bringing in championship caliber pest control soon to get rid of the flies in the ointment, until then we'll turn the page and tip our fly swatters collectively."

That we'd intentionally walk Coco Crisp.

Scioscia started to lose it in 2008, the squeeze attempt in the 2008 ALDS is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen in baseball.  The Mathis infatuation was nuts as well, and his bullpen management skills got worse and his lineup tinkering.  His loyalty to veteran players probably cost us a playoff spot last year, playing Abreu/Wells over Trumbo was ludicrous and cost us wins.  His bullpen management was terrible last year as well, I remember one game he brought in Scott Downs (who was on fire as the time) and he threw 4 pitches, and Scioscia did not bring him back out for the next inning.  Takashitty came in, game over.  He's done plenty of things like this in the last few years.  Last night his bullpen management cost us as well.  Why not bring in Jerome Williams for the 6th inning, or at least bring him in when Lowe was in trouble?  Why bring in a scrub nobody's ever heard of?  Also, why pull Downs on Tuesday when he was cruising and had gotten 2 straight outs, yet leave in an erratic Jepsen?  Scioscia has lost the fire he once had as well.  He didn't used to be so stoic, he used to have a lot more energy and not just sit in that same damn spot every game with that bored look on his face.  Scioscia is a guy who has gotten too comfortable and complacent, he gave us some great years but it's time to move on.  It's unacceptable for a team on this level to miss the playoffs for 3 straight years and it's time the manager is held accountable.

If the Angels are still playing like shit in May, or miss the postseason, Scioscia will be fired regardless of what the apologists say.
