How The West Was Lost

There is plenty of attention on Los Angeles baseball right now, but it’s for all the wrong reasons.  Both LA teams (We’ll go ahead and consider the Angels a Los Angeles team for this exercise) have huge payrolls and are grossly underperforming.  Both teams have offensive stars that are providing very little offense.  Both teams have suffered their fair share of physical injuries...

Manager Swap: Twins, Angels, and Dodgers Should Trade Gardenhire, Scioscia, and Mattingly

Before I lay out my grand plan for an unprecedented three team triangle trade of skippers, let me first make clear that it is possible to trade non-players. In fact, it just happened. Last winter, the Boston Red Sox sent utility infielder Mike Aviles to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for manager John Farrell. Ferrell is now the toast of Boston, he’s reinvigorated the team and...

The time is now for Scioscia and the Angels to part

There is a new entry on the extinct species list: the Scioscia apologist. As of today, I am done. Done with sticking up for Mike Scioscia. In the struggles of the last few years there have been few who have defended Scioscia as ardently as I have. But now I must relent and admit that it is now time for the Angels to fire Mike Scioscia. And I mean that literally they need to fire...

VIDEO: Mike Scioscia forgets the rule about mound visits and pitching changes

Just when it looks like things can't get any worse for the Angels, Mike Scioscia goes and makes a fool of himself. This scene from last night's Angels-Athletics games features a confused Scioscia heading out to the mound with a 3-1 count on Adam Rosales. Of course Scioscia can't do that because pitching coach Mike Butcher went out for a mound visit to pitcher Nick Maronde...

How long until the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim faithful fan base start calling for the firing of manager Mike Scioscia? Admittedly, it’s far too early into the current season to be asking this question reasonably. The problem is that for the last three seasons there have been whispers that have grown into an uproar over whether Scioscia should get a pass for winning the 2002...
