Right when Casilla came out, I knew it was over. It’s time for the A’s to ship his useless ass back to the Dominican Republic. He is absolutely terrible. Yet, the same moron continuely sends him out there to lose games. Once again, way to go Geren. Please, please, please fire Geren, Billy. I can’t stress enough much he kills this team day-in-day-out.

It cracks me up, Geren decides to leave Breslow in one batter too late. Lead-off guy always hurt you.

WE NEED A NEW MANAGER! We need a Pinella type. A real fire cracker that will light a fire under this team. I didn’t care much for Howe, Macha but especially not “chipmunk” Geren. They are all to Blahhh. No emotion no energy. We need a manager with a personality. A.J. Hinch is now a manager, lets make Frank Thomas a manager. It would be an upgrade from Geren.

Beane needs to declare Bailey the closer and bring him in ONLY in 9th inning save situations so he can get completely used to his role and learn to succeed in it. He also needs to designate two set-up men and use them ONLY in those (8th inning) situations. Geren continues to misuse the bullpen and not define roles for these guys, which is hurting them. After the pen gets settled down and rested again, he can be a little more flexible when the situation dictates. Geren’s failure to let the starting pitchers go deep enough into games and misuse of the bullpen is one of the most glaring examples of his failure as a manager.

Great win today. If anyone on the A’s was going to break Francisco, it was going to be Kennedy. Kennedy played great, Braden did also (despite not getting the win), but I still doubt the A’s will make a comeback. Bobo needs to go and Beane needs to find people who can hit the baseball like Kennedy. Being extremely patient and working the count and taking walks is good, but this team has struggled to deliver a single or a double when get runners on they get those runners on.
