No Frownland here…

The Angels broke out the disco ball in the clubhouse, and why not? That was quite a party.

Mike Trout, the guest of honor, became the youngest player in American League history to hit for the cycle. Josh Hamilton, the birthday boy, enjoyed two rounds of serenades from the crowd. The Angels posted their most lopsided victory of the season, a 12-0 rout of the Seattle Mariners.

World-Herald: What was your first impression of Darin Erstad?

Scioscia: Ersty?

Ohhhh, I don't feel so good.

Erstad? HE'S A FOOTBALL PLAYER. HE WAS EVEN THE PUNTER ON HIS COLLEGE TEAM.

The occasion for the interview is that Erstad is the manager at Nebraska and Scioscia came to speak at the team's banquet. Pretty cool that Erstad is the manager.

And there’s no doubt he was the foundation of those championship teams.

Does Scioscia spend his time in an imaginary world where his teams won more championships than just the one in 2002?

Manager stands up for former player. Haters hate.

He may be referring to division titles which they also won in 2004-5.

I'm imagine one could create plenty of doubt that he was the foundation of those teams.

The forests won't be too happy.

Erstad was a favorite target among the smart set after after his offense collapsed in 2001-onward. But WAR adores his defense and appreciates his baserunning in ways that make Scioscia seem more insightful than the anti-Ersties of yesteryear. Phenomenal defensive numbers at three positions.

Also, I hope he's the next Angels manager.
