Honoring Scioscia
Last night they honored Scioscia with a scoreboard tribute and we were all over him in the dugout. They played that Sinatra song My Way, which is a little slow. Garrett Anderson asked if someone had died. He was really busting us up. You could tell Scioscia was surprised and a little embarrased. We tried to get him to take a curtain call but he wouldn't do it. We were definitely busting his balls, especially seeing the pictures of him with long hair and a few less pounds. It was funny to see.
He is a solid manager. He's very consistent and doesn't get too high or too low. He is very even kieled. He is a good guy to be running the show because he is consistent and you always know where you stand. There are plenty of guys who are hard asses and others who are easy. Scioscia can really do both. He keeps it light in the clubhouse and guys have fun in there, but when it's time to play he's all business. He really does a great job.
We just finished up photo day, which is always a cool event. The fans come out and line up and take pictures of us. It's cool because you get to interact with the fans and give the kids a high five. I like doing that.
Time to get ready to play the Dodgers.
