08:13 AM ET 05.17 | If Mike Scioscia winds up following Mickey Hatcher out the door, could Terry Francona be waiting in the wings? Hatcher, who had been on the job for almost 13 years with the Angels, was fired Tuesday night, taking the fall for a highly paid team that was 27th in the majors in on-base percentage and flailing in the AL West standings. ... [During a Wednesday radio appearance,] Bowden, a former general manager of the Cincinnati Reds and Washington Nationals, said the firing puts Scioscia on notice that he is on a short leash. "The bullet-proof vest of Mike Scioscia is off and if this team doesn't turn it around by August don't be surprised if Terry Francona ... is managing the Angels," Bowden said on ESPN Radio.

"Bowden, a former general manager of the Cincinnati Reds and Washington Nationals, said the firing puts Scioscia on notice that he is on a short leash."
You mean, "The short list" idiots! A "short leash" means he's being punished, and has lost some of his flex-abilities to coach.

if this team its able to turn things around and being able to be a conssistant team in the hitter depth, as i was whatching the game i count how many pitches from floyd were a borderline pitchers, the count went up real quick, did the halos saw the difference, from being impatient hitters into a very patient hitters? plus they got hit after hit, just about every body got a hit or a walk, and the most demanded hitter pujols, hit a three run shot, now that's what i call playing smart baseball!!
