Let’s See if Angels Can Take the Heat
Not that the Dodgerville Press is terribly interested in rants from Angel fans, especially with all those captivating stories of whether Jeff Kent said hi to Milton Bradley, but someone from your paper needs to take Mike Scioscia to task for some of the most confounding moves I have ever seen a manager make.
The worst example is batting Steve Finley for Robb Quinlan in the biggest at-bat of a winnable game against Boston on Tuesday. He was facing the starting pitcher. If Finley should bat for Quinlan there, he should have started the game (actually, he shouldn’t be allowed on the plane).
It would be nice to see such criticism of this local team, but I guess you’re too busy whining about Frank McCourt not spending enough of his money on players or about how character “counts.”

Whenever I hear Angel officials defending the performances of their non-starting pitchers, I am reminded of why they call it the bullpen.
