Blast the Scandiavian!  Blast it! 

I lose almost every time I play against the Scandinavian!! 

How do I play against it?  Lately I have dealt with the annoying rook/queen pin on the d file by just playing something like Qc1...how do I handle this opening? 

I have inserted some random Scandinavian moves, they probably aren't the main line but I threw it in just to get the party started.  I have no idea how both sides should really address the possibilities.
