Mike Scioscia is a lightning rod around these parts. There are those that believe he is a great manager, and the only reason this team has a World Series trophy. There are others that think he's a good manager, who has possibly seen his best days fall behind him, as the playoff appearances and accolades began to dry up. There are also those that think Mike Scioscia is evil incarnate, or at the very least, a very bad manager and is the reason this team will never sniff a playoff series again, and he was probably never good to begin with, and that he drove away a smart baseball guy(Jerry Dipoto) on top of everything else, so Mike Scisoscia must be stopped.
