I think everyone knew something was coming with the SS position, just who and when was the question. Like most things with the A’s they handled the details poorly. Why are the players informed over the PA in the middle of the game??? This must leave a bad taste in the mouth of everyone involved esp. the “skipper”. I’ve had the chance to talk/listen to Bob a few times this season and I am sure it absolutely killed him that he was not given the chance to talk to “his” guys personally before this went public,he seems like that kind of man. Hopefully at some point the front office will learn a bit of class from Bob. Like most things in life it’s all about how you go about your business.

And what kind of dyed blanket does Gene Simmons have sewed on his head? And Grueber?.so he knows nothing about sports..and he’s half owner of the Warriors and some part of the Dodgers?
No wonder this country’s economy is going under if THATS the talent and connections that gets rich.

This trade was a big headline in the paper..and then we read the A’s went from a .128. hitting SS to a .157 hitting SS. And Ramirez- who the gods tried to put on the A’s lineup,is scorching at a .400 clip for the Dodgers.
And Joe-lovely to read that Wolff had a nice seat behind the plate at Dodger stadium. The rotten old codger likes the Dodgers. And the irony,He wouldn’t sit next to a Oakland fan in Oakland if his life depended on it. I guess seeing Baer do it at ATT made Lew wonder what its like to not be hated at a ball park.
