It is 3:30 in the afternoon, and the manager of the team with the top record in Major League Baseball is seated behind his clubhouse office desk at Angel Stadium, reflecting on the passage of time.
"Nine years," says Mike Scioscia, echoing the number the reporter utters in reference to the length of his tenure as field commander of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. "Unbelievable. It doesn't seem that long. Life moves quickly without you noticing it. I can't believe it's been 16 years since I retired as a player."
It's all going well for Mike Scioscia's Angels these warm summer days.
They have been tearing through the American League with a relentless disdain, and they reached new heights last week when they swept the defending world champion Boston Red Sox for the second time in 12 days.
They have a deep, skilled pitching staff, including perhaps the most dominant starting rotation in the game in John Lackey, Ervin Santana, Joe Saunders, Jon Garland and Jered Weaver to go with a reliever, Francisco Rodriguez, who is on a record pace for saves in a season.
