Thank you, Mike Scioscia, for 19 years of class, intelligence, patience and goodness. I was hoping that you would change your mind and stay at the helm of the Angels. My only regret for you is that you weren’t given the players to succeed. It’s like asking someone to build a house but not furnishing the necessary tools to complete the job.
Mike Scioscia took the Angels from pretenders to contenders and Arte Moreno took them from contenders back to pretenders.
What a disappointing Angels season. A team with a lame-duck manager, a few superb players, a gaggle of mostly minor leaguers, a $33-million aging anchor, and an owner nobody can figure out.
