	Mike Scioscia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scioscia led the team to its first World Series championship in 2002 as a wild card entry, as well as to its fourth American League (AL) West division title in 2004 (their first since 1986), and fifth AL West division title in 2005.
		Mike Scioscia was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1st round (19th overall pick) of the 1976 amateur draft, debuting for the Dodgers in 1980 (replacing Steve Yeager) and went on to play 12 years for the team.
		Scioscia is one of the few managers in the Major Leagues who is bilingual in both English and Spanish, an especially rare skill for a manager who is not a native Spanish speaker.

	Chapter 2 - The Rock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Scioscia was drafted in the first round, the 19th pick overall, in the June, 1976 Major League draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
		Scioscia took over the primary catching duties in 1982, but he tore the rotator cuff in his right shoulder in 1983 and played in only 12 games, watching as the Dodgers reached the playoffs before being eliminated by his hometown Philadelphia Phillies.
		Scioscia tried to continue his career with both the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers in 1993 and '94, but another rotator cuff injury in the spring of 1993 was too much to overcome and his playing career was finished.

	news - 2005 MLB WINTER MEETING INTERVIEWS: Mike Scioscia
		MIKE SCIOSCIA: Well, Joe was an Angel and he spent his whole year as a player and in player development at the Major League level in our organization.
		MIKE SCIOSCIA: If you look at the depth we have in our rotation from Colon, Lackey, Santana and Escobar returning with Carrasco, Weaver, Saunders, Bootcheck, Kevin Gregg, we're probably nine-deep, and that's important because I think there are some years we've come in maybe five or six deep.
		MIKE SCIOSCIA: It's impossible for me to comment because when I've seen him, I've seen him play well and he plays hard, so I haven't -- I don't see a guy every day and I haven't seen some of the things you might be talking about.

	Ethics Heroes: Mike Scioscia
		Scioscia is paid, first and foremost, to win championships, yet he courageously chose to do what increasingly few leaders in any profession will do any more: refuse to tolerate misconduct from a talented employee whose contributions are deemed essential to an organization's success.
		But Guillen is a self-centered player with a history of tantrums and rules violations, and when Scioscia removed him for a pinch-hitter over the weekend, Guillen angrily flung his helmet in his manager's direction and his glove at the opposite wall.
		Scioscia decided that if the only way he could win his division was to accept the principle that rules don't apply to the talented, beautiful, powerful or wealthy, the division wasn't worth winning.

	SportsFilter: Guillen Talks Trash
		Well, to be fair, Mike Scioscia made an agressive move towards a 69 year old man, explained cheating as "accepted" (which, in the day of the steroid, is a bad position to take) and then proceeded to say that pine tar didn't even help his pitcher.
		Mike acted incorrectly in the heat of the moment, should have accepted the fact that his pitcher had done something illegal and moved on.
		Scioscia isn't even debating the fact that there was pine tar on the glove, just that there wasn't enough to doctor the ball.

	Mike Scioscia and Frank Robinson - Baseball Fever
		Both managers had to be restrained, and Scioscia tells Robinson that he's going to ask the umpires to check on all of the National's pitchers when they come into the game.
		Scioscia really seems to be acting like a baby here and doesn't seem to realize that the root of the problem is this player got caught cheating.
		My take-Robinson outmanaged Scioscia, Scioscia reacted poorly, Robinson and Gullien took exception to Scioscia's actions and words, Robinson has since said some things that may be a bit of a stretch, Robinson is a hard guy but not one to mess with even at 69, Scioscia came out of this looking bad.

	Sports: Scioscia at peace with choice
		Scioscia was second-guessed (and repeatedly grilled) for not bringing in Percival during the Yankees' winning eighth-inning rally Tuesday.
		Scioscia's explanation at the time was that he didn't want to limit Percival's availability for later in the series by extending him beyond his normal one inning, which may turn out to be farsighted thinking as the Angels had a chance to win a road playoff game.
		But Scioscia said Wednesday he still felt he made the right decision to stick with Ben Weber, Scott Schoeneweis and Brendan Donnelly.

		Scioscia denied any intent regarding the pitch that struck Pierzynski, and any inference that the Angels had a score to settle with him.
		I was really proud of the way AJ handled it though, knowing full well it was on purpose, he grimaced a little, tossed his bat back, and ran to first.
		And for Scioscia to deny knowing that there is a problem is funny as hell, that story has been in the news more than once.

	Lackey answered call - The Boston Globe
		NEW YORK -- Angels manager Mike Scioscia had to do a little improvising before Game 4 last night when original starting pitcher Jarrod Washburn, his only lefthander, turned up with a very sore throat and a 102-degree fever.
		This forced Scioscia to hand the ball to Game 2 starter John Lackey, who was, therefore, performing on three days' rest.
		And Scioscia had no worries about Lackey being able to handle it.
