Who needs Matsui when your losing? Is thats Geren’s reasoning?..hee.

Marc…interesting point of view. Starting to make sense to me…put a minor league offense and a good pitching staff together and frustrate the fans so they do not care anymore. That’s me right now. Don’t care about this team anymore. it’s working !!!

I am so pissed about the situation. Read Monte Poole’s article about the A’s ownership being the 4th RICHEST ownership in baseball, WEALTHIER than the REDSOX! And this is the crap the put in the lineup??? It sickens me. I would love to have a civil sit down with the ownership and have them look me in the eye and explain themselves on so many fronts. I am not stupid, they are trying to completely dissolve this once proud fan base so they can move the team! They need to be accountable and the media needs to keep attacking them and expose their motives…………

Marc… I’m pulling for Cleveland now. No more A’s for me. @ 70 years old, I have earned the right to support up and coming young teams.

Marc the A’s will drive you nuts this year

Jose you were one of my favorite players. I respect you for being a whistle blower about players taking steroids.

The problem is SOMEone has to sit out of Crisp, Dejesus, Willingham, Sweeney, and Matsui and right now Hideki has the least case of anyone for PT. The other four have been the four most productive hitters on a team desperate for any kind of offense, and also happen to all be better defenders than Hideki.

The only option to get them all in is to play Willingham at 1st. I am 100% open to that idea, especially vs RHP.

The good news is we’ve heard Hideki, Sweeney, Jackson, and DDJ all say something in the media about wanting to play every day so at least they’re chomping at the bit. The bad news is it’s only June 1st and still Geren is having trouble finding a way to get everyone comfortable in a role.

I’m glad Brett Wallace is batting .316 with Houston. Beane loves getting great prospects and then giving up on them to early(Carlos Gonzalez). It isn’t even fun to watch the A’s anymore….I can handle losing to an extent, but to watch this crappy offense is too much.

Chris Carter? no thanks. Carter has not earned a spot on the A’s roster yet (.187 MLB BA, horrible defensive skills) The A’s are better off starting Conor Jackson at 1B.

Yet another example of Geren being completely out of touch with his clubhouse.

This team is criminally boring and horrible.

By the way…time to hire a new manager with passion and a fire to win.

I see the minor league offense is back. Matsui is over paid and has lost his skills. Time to let him go and bring up Carter.

Barton had his chance and he is not going to turn it around this year. A first baseman with 0 hr in 56 games. It’s time to shake up this minor league offense and get players with offense skills.
