No, I actually meant it. Cain is one of the Giants I like seeing do well.

[Johnny_Cakes]

Well I won't cosign all that, but at least it finally came.

Nope, only May and half the team is injured/unavailable. The curse of Ned Colletti.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Like I (and most of Dodger nation in the know) said when Magic's group took over, Colleti's position should have been the first one made available. Guy's clueless.

 

[HIM]

Angels, Jays, and Dodgers sucking

Hope we don't so something stupid like fire Sosh. Give him some major league-quality pitching and maybe we can hold on to leads.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I wouldn't put it past your piece of **** owner to fire Scioscia.

 

[jewbacca]

Matt Kemp has to be the most overrated player in the Major Leagues when talking about defense.  His ball judging skills are just horrendous.  Cant believe this dude has gold gloves.

Adam Jones is the same way.

Gold Gloves are a garbage award.

I hate Scioscia but I think he is a very good manager. If you give that man pitching, he will teach his team how to win. I'm curious to see what management does if they continue to struggle this much.

 

[mr jordan04]

If they don't make the playoffs, scioscia is getting fired

 

[dland24]

I see Scioscia being fired before July.  Call me crazy.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

I don't see Scoscia ever being fired.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I see Scioscia being fired and hired to work with Bob Melvin as an assistant coach for the rest of his career.

 

[darthska]

My feeling on Scoscia is the same as folks say about my other coach, D'Antoni.

If the system isn't right for him, he looks horrible.

And our system isn't right for him anymore. Hasn't been for years.

We have completely changed from what we were in 2002. We used to be small ball w/ a strong bullpen, and now we're big names w/ a terrible bullpen.

Vladdy, Torii, Vernon Wells, Matsui, Pujols, Josh, rented Teixeira... Bartolo Colon, CJ Wilson, rented Greinke...

... now we grab big names, and guys like Figgins, Eckstein, Erstad, those aren't big names. Percival was kind of a big name, and KRod became a big name... but effectiveness was the priority.

Buck Showalter, Dusty Baker... we've had lineups these last few years more suited to their style.

I don't think Scoscia makes it through May.

 

[ooiron manoo]

Angels went away from what made Scioscia great, he's in the wrong league anyway. Wish we could swap managers.

Moreno isn't doing Scioscia any favors.

If Scioscia gets fired he won't be unemployed long, He'll have the Dodger job if he wants it. Book it. Arte knows that, probably one of the reasons he is reluctant to let him go.

Who can win with that pitching staff?

 

[xxpizzo]

the DOC needs to get Doctored ASAP ! I honestly think his baseball career is done. Im also tired of watching the phillies start off the game chasing because the other team (no matter who it is they play) seem to score in the 1st inn always
