The Angels had a glorious decade from 2000-2009. They won the AL West six times and also earned a wild-card berth in 2002 that turned into the club’s only World Series title. Mike Scioscia was considered a mastermind and the architect of this team along with former general manager Bill Stoneman.
However in the last nine seasons from 2010-2018 times have become lean, very lean as the Angels have won only only one AL West title in 2014 and they have not won a playoff game in that time period either. Mike Scioscia has gone from a conquering hero to a goat, and not in the good sense of the word.
