Bad moves notwithstanding, there's still no reason for the awful team performance.  Even with a terrible manager they should still be playing better. 

And Lifetime.

Scioscia's in love with the bunt, the contact play, and the 100-pitch count. Oh, and having a designated "closer" and using him each and every time in a save situation, regardless of how awful he is.

I have moved past disbelief a long time ago. I'm just going through the motions now til the season ends and to root for the Pirates in the playoffs.

I think a lot of these Angels don't know what to do when the team's star players fail.  Nobody ever steps up when the team needs it most.  Either that or they've adopted a "nobody gives a crap" attitude -- so as long as the checks don't bounce, everything is good.

This team bunts way too much. You only get 27 outs. 3 a game. Do not waste them.

And Lifetime.

Bullsht.
Scioscia is the right man with the right perspective.
Listen to the PG interviews.
He said "Thankfully we missed that Darvish guy this series or we might have lost 4 out of 3"
Maddon-schmaddon.

And a bad manager
 
And a bad manager.  It bears repeating.

HAHAHAHA!!!!!! That can't be real.

Ha!  Yk, do have glasses and wear striped sweatshirts? 

I'm tired of the fat man. Just negotiate a settlement on the 5 years remaining.

He probably slept through the game.

I think he's just mailing it in.
 
You know, like his team.

Why is this clown still our manager it's mindblowing to me

Maybe its wasting my time trying to come up with rational reasoning, but I have seen the escalation of anger amongst this young generation and I don't really understand where it's coming from. These people have been given everything they need to succeed, they live in the greatest country in the world, and this is how they show their appreciation?
 
This youth is apparently filled with irrational anger and gets utopian joy from destruction of society. A society built by the hard working generation before it, and one that every single one of these low lifes does not appreciate and is taking advantage of. It's like they're thinking "This sh*t is waaay too nice, let me find out every possible way to destroy it!" Where did this come from? I have never in my life felt the need to vent my feelings in a way that affects other peoples property. Tipping over porter potties? Really? It's a group of miscreants that constantly need to be babysat, and if you're not watching for one second they're going to find some way to take advantage, find your nice thing and destroy it. And if you catch them they're going to come up with some bullsh*t excuse as to why you can't hold them accountable.
 
Sadly, I have seen this de-evolution everyday in our youth as I've gotten older. I see profanity laced t-shirts with guns and nude women in porn star positions, unfit for the eyes of the public or young kids who haven't even began their youth. BIG BOLD statements idolizing ignorance and stupidity, spreading vulgarity and a sense of "i don't give a f***" amongst peers. Praise of disrespect towards peoples privacy & property, all with an interest of shock value, short attention spans, and a collective disinterest in bettering society and a community. This stuff is constantly promoted through clothing, advertising, internet, culture, music, and television. Who is turning a blind eye and allowing these types of people to be raised this way and why are they doing such a shitty job? And why is this low-life-loser-bum kind of lifetyle being promoted and why are these kids attracted to it? Where did this stem from?
 
It's obvious the age group in the video was 16-20. It looked like there was literally nobody who was 21 doing this stuff in the video. So lets see...these kids get tattoos, buy a pack of cigarettes, put on a tank, flip their snap-back on backwards and all of a sudden think they're somebodies because they're in Huntington Beach. Then they go and crap on society as hard as they can. And it's like they're pushing the envelope to expose the weakness of our American "good samaritan" society just to see what they can get away with when nobody's watching. It's freakin' disgusting, and its as if these kids have never been whacked or disciplined for being out of line.
 
I'm also blown away that a larger police force was not out busting asses and throwing these kids to the ground. Kick a porter potty, destruction of public property you're under arrest. Basically they let these adolescents run hog wild 1/4 mild away as they slowly made a sweep down Main Street from the beach. Ridiculous. A complete failure by law enforcement in my opinion. When you let a group of teens get away with this kind of crap, it just enforces their belief that they can get away with this kind of garbage with little to no consequence, reinforcing the thought that if they could get away with this, there's plenty more where that came from.
 
Maybe its proof that a generation of self-entitleds aren't capable of handling the trials and tribulations of real life? Because in my opinion each and every one of the kids in this video looks like someone who would not qualify for working at McDonalds, nonetheless a place where you'd have a career. And furthermore, what the hell are we going to do with all these low lifes within arms reach of our society? They're going to be around and there's not a lot we can do about it. That scares me more than anything.
 
I will tell you one thing, there's a reason I keep a 34/31 in the trunk of my car, and with the "anarchy" these kids feel like they were participating in, they're damn lucky I didn't pick the same day to be down there, because if I saw this crap going on, I'd show them a thing or two about what anarchy and unrest is really about.

I've got to rush home so I don't miss the start of the Galaxy game. 

So he can pitch to righties and more than 1 inning? Who knew

Yes, underneath Martin

I think you might need to look up the definition of the word "murder" again.

That's a terribly black and white way of looking at it.

I'm thinking this has to do with Scioscia's traumatic treadmill experiences with the Dodgers.

The joy of the game has never left, even as he looks at it now through the eyes of an outsider. Asked for some stories, Hatcher produces as he did in '88.
 
"I came up with Scioscia," he says. "One spring, the Dodgers got worried about his weight. Al Campanis sends this treadmill to camp with a meter on it. Mike was supposed to do so many miles on it. One day, I hear this noise from the training room. I open the door and there's this little guy from the Dominican, running like crazy on the treadmill. Next to him, asleep on the couch, was Scioscia, shirt off and an empty pizza box on his stomach."
