PrintI think it is total BS that people on this site continue to call Scioscia (soth). He his the Angeles winningest coach including a World Series. Do you think any other coach would have his team in firsat place when there two best pitchers are on the DL there best hitter was batting 250 and every other day another player was placed on the disabled list. I think not. The dude can flat out coach.....so show the guy some fucking respect.

nicknames
i understand what you are saying but i think the nickname is uncool and it seems alot of the people on this site think he is a shit coach
a lot?
I would doubt that…
Try creating a fanpost with a poll asking
“Is Mike Scioscia the greatest Angels manager ever?”
giving the other choices, “He’s just OK” and “He sucks.”
I would wager that you would get 95+% in favor of greatest. It’s a no-brainer.

I hate the nickname, but I do not think it is offensive
Hate it
Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.
Agreed
The only Soth for me is Lord Soth, Fallen Knight of Solamnia and Death Knight of the Black Rose, he who shattered the great city gate at Palanthas and commanded the undead legion of Takhisis.
Know what I mean?
Um you lost me.

what else is there to call him
you could call him sosh, but the spellingmakes it look like it should pronounced like soth (and soash or scoisc, just isnt cuttin the butter ).
of course in light of his most recent article we could take new suggestions…
animal style
double double
winningest coach in angels history (too much to type)
soth works, hell its better than what we call GMJ, its even better than what the phillies announcers were calling GMJ during that series last weekend, referring to him as sarge jr.
i pledge alliegance... to mike Scioscia
and the angels way of baseball
and to each pennant and ring we are sure to win.
one fanatic, under the halo, unwavered
with in n out and world series rings for all
"search post and coments bar" in the upper right hand corner, it's a beautiful thing.
The internet destabilizes every hierarchy it contacts.
We could go with "soc".......a la The Outsiders.
Whatever dude.

no no not "SOASH"
That is what teenage girls call the stuck-up popular beeyotches.
(valleygirl accent) “OOOoooooooooo… she is SUCH a SOASH….!!!”
how about calling him by his middle name,
Lorri ( Now we have a Lorri to Torii)
I AM THOR, GOD OF THUNDER. BOW TO MY WILL AND MY HAMMER!
Isn't a Lorri a TRUCK in England?
Let’s just call him TRUCK then.

Indeed it is - we'd usually spell it 'lorry'...
...but if you’re feeling warm and affectionate, ‘Loth’ works too.
I see red people
Yeah i totally hate Sosh becuase i call him a nickname
Maybe we should start one of those wave things?
The author of this fanpost needs to chill the F out!
What! The Soth is exempt from a nickname? It’s only a nickname—stupid and inane as it may seem. It’s not as if we all gave him a name like, say, Squinty McClusterfuck?
Mike Scioscia rules—Soth or no Soth.

Peace. Out.

Actually, I find surfpunk one of the funniest posters here.
Kind of like the wild offspring of Bill The Cat and Archie Bunker.
When he gets old, I hope he has a lawn.
i have a lawn
i am on hh alot and today after seeing soth it just got to me. i dont like the nickname i think it is crap
here we go, but...
the thing that needs to be retired most is the “lazy GA” crap.
i get the argument that you may not really mean it, yada, yada – or maybe you do but either way it does not reflect well upon this site or the posters who consistently invoke the “GA + lazy” shit.
as most of you know, or at least should, there is a long history of stereotyping african-americans as lazy and as such, even if you are not using it it with that context in mind, it still reeks of racism.
i know that i will probably get a lot of shit for this post – the “PC police” and all that garbage – and that’s sad. i know that most of you will say that i don’t get it – that it is used intentionally as an over the top attempt at humor, or perhaps that you are even using it to mock the stereotype, but it doesnt play that way.
i realize that most of you are just trying to be funny or something but its not. it doesn’t help make this a more inclusive blog and it doesn’t reflect well upon stereotypes of angels fans.
i hope you all will consider putting this one to rest.
thanks for hearing me out.

Wow.
In the 3 years I have been here on HH, and followed/contributed to the ‘GA is lazy’ subject, it never, ever, ever occured to me that this had anything to do with the color of his skin. Usually it had to do with the color of his pants, as in they failed to have any grass stains or dirt stains on them after an entire game of play. And I really wonder what might be wrong with my levels of racial sensitivity for wishing to see GMJ’s defense in LF rather than GA’s cuz, like, BOTH of those guys are african-american.
Sorry, ‘ever’, but I whiffed on this one.
ever is a troll...
don’t give in to his evil trick. Gotta be one of those Mariner fans who is now suddenly back on-line now that they won a game today.

sorry, cant be dismissed that easily.
i’m no troll…i’m on the site, i just dont post often , i used to be ‘author’ on the old site, you can look up my old pre-game guesses if you’d like. i play in the halos heaven UK fantasy league. family has season seats. the list goes on…
go on, be dismissive, it doesn’t come off as funny, just sad.

Isn't it great that we're winning .....
and can devote as much time discussing this stupid topic as we ought? Meanwhile, over at Lookout Landing, Jeff is doing his best Rev. Jim Jones impersonation, readying all of his faithful for that inevitable mass Kool-Aid taste test.

My fave is how LL has turned their attention to their softball team.
Baseball fans owning the fan site for a major league franchise have now determined to fire up their computer, go online, go to a blog, log on, and chat about their own beer-league participation. The mind boggles.
While we are talking about respect.
I am so angry at those people who get on this site and bad mouth soccer. Soccer is a great sport. Our ancestors, the Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon, played the sport. Please people, quit dissing sokker.
Angels Defense. Angels Pitching. Get past that. :-[
and you know what?
im sick and tired of people saying that they are “sick and tired” around here
i root for teams that lack offense! go halos and bills!

He, you just re-stated "sick and tired..."

Scioscia gets respect -- from a non-lazy GA
In Tim Brown’s article on Yahoo Sports:
"The day they hired him, that’s when things changed," Anderson said. "The attitude changed. How we go about our business changed. How we’re viewed as an organization changed. He played in L.A. They won. They were an arrogant bunch of guys who knew they were going to kick your behind every night. That works in this sport. You hear it enough, you start thinking, ‘I guess we’re going to get it done.’ You have no choice.
"In my mind, there is no perfect manager. But, one thing I can say honestly, he’s fairly consistent with his demeanor and he’s fairly consistent in how he treats people. It’s tough to perfectly manage 25 people. But, he’s fair. His demeanor on a daily basis is a positive thing for this team."
"At some point, a veteran player will more often than not find his stroke. You just have to show them a little bit of patience."
