Mike Scioscia Is Trifling


Just when both of your favorite teams (the O's and Nats) are sitting in first and you don't think life gets any better, Mike Scioscia acts like a moron, Frank Robinson gets fired up and Jose Guillen drops the hammer on the Angels of Anaheim.

Robinson was right about Angels RP Brendan Donnelly illegally harboring pine tar in his glove. Scioscia was wrong to get in the face of a first ballot Hall of Famer and first place coach. And Guillen was beast in lasering a two-run HR to tie the game at 3 in the 8th and propel the Nats to their 14th win in 16 games.

Scioscia very well may have cost his team the game with his antics. Last year, he certainly cost them an All-Star caliber RF in Guillen, who has 69 HR since 2003; more than any Angel aside from Vlad (who has 72). And Scioscia was not apologetic after the game for disrespecting Robinson (and himself). The rest of this series should be very interesting. Hopefully Bartolo Colon's pine tar riddled, high-90s heat will stay away from Guillen's head on Wednesday.

More Angels: In case you missed it, watch video of Darin Erstad running over Johnny Estrada last week on MLB Top 5. It's hard to believe Erstad was a punter at Nebraska. He hits like a safety.

More Nats: Ball Wonk is campaigning for Ryan Church (.319 batting average) as your NL Rookie of the Year. Please pay him a visit.

    I'm so glad Ryan Church made it to the major's. I work for the Mahoning Valley Scrappers a class A affiliate of the Cleveland Indian's where Ryan started his career. He was my favorite player when he was there,And I told him he would make it to the big league's some day.What a arm and bat he has I am so happy for him I hope he does get ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

    ha,ha I HATE SCOSCIA! I like his style of play when he was a catcher but I can't stand him as a manager or a person. Just despise and that had started to dy down. But I hate him again!

    Scioscia is a lard-ass moron who couldn't carry Robinson's jock on Robby's worst day. Scioscia has the intelligence of a doorknow and the class of an STD-infected rat.st
