Mike Scioscia Is A Funny Man

The Yankees beat the Angels in six games in this year’s ALCS, and Angels manager Mike Scioscia is apparently already thinking about a rematch. Scioscia spoke at a fundraiser recently, according to the Orange County Register, and spent most of the luncheon telling stories from his playing days. When asked about the Yankees, though, he said, “I don’t care if the Yankees go out and spend $350 million next year, we’re going to beat them because we have the team.”

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!  Somebody better tell Mikey to lay off the free mimosas at the next luncheon because that is the only logical explanation for why he would make this statement.  That or he's still so punch drunk from the lube-less ass rape that the Yankees carried out on his team last month that he isn't thinking straight.  It's stupid tough talk like this that gets you knocked the fuck out in the bar and gets you embarrassed again by the Evil Empire in 2010 after they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that a $200 million roster was more than enough to drop your sorry team like the overrated sack of shit that they are. 

But if that's how Mike wants to play, then that's how we'll play.  Hank and Hal, you heard what Mr. Scioscia said; fuck last year's spending spree and fuck the economy, take Cash off his leash and let him grab the offseason by the throat and drag it through the street for every other GM to see like he did last year.  Sign Jason Bay AND Matt Holliday and trade for Curtis Granderson to fill out the new outfield, and let Damon and Swisher be your 4th and 5th outfielders on the bench.  Bring Matsui back at $15mil for this season so he can continue to destroy anybody that gets in his way.  Throw $100mil at Lackey to be the 3rd starter and round out the rotation with Pettitte and Hughes.  Or just to be a dick, package Melky, Brett Gardner, Eric Hinske, and a couple of Double-A pitchers for Scott Kazmir and make him the 5th starter just to add insult to injury.  Sign Chone Figgins to be your utility player off the bench and your pinch runner and stock up on an extra lefty in the bullpen and that should pretty much cover $350 million.

And if there is anything left over, use it to by Mike Scioscia and his family World Series tickets for Game 1 at the Stadium, right behind homeplate.  Because that's the only way that punch drunk bastard is making it back to the World Series next year.
