If the Dodgers sought permission to interview Angel Manager Mike Scioscia for their vacant managerial position and Scioscia were interested, Angel owner Arte Moreno said he would not stand in Scioscia's way. But Scioscia, who wanted the Dodger job before becoming the Angel manager in 2000, did not seem interested in returning to the team he helped to two World Series titles as a catcher from 1980 to 1992. "The commitment here is very real on both sides," said Scioscia, who is signed through 2007 with a team option for 2008. "I couldn't be in a better environment for us to achieve, from everything Arte and Bill [Stoneman, general manager] have committed to the organization from here down to the minor leagues. "It's fun to be here. No one has a crystal ball, but I just know there's no better job in baseball if you want to manage, with the way Arte and Bill are committed to achieving."
