    More like someone that knows how to win late in the season! I hate seeing things fall apart after a good spring/early summer.

    Dusty Baker, Felipe Alou, Frank Robinson, and Joe Girardi are all available. If they were smart, they would interview Ron Washington, Oakland's 3rd base coach. I think he will do great if anyone ever gives him a chance.

    Buck continued acquiring offense in to July, but they still need(ed) pitching. That's been their weakness for years now.

    Well, it's a sad day in Oakland.. I really hoped the A's would dodge a bullet and not loose him.

    I think Daniels made a wise decision. Now where is my consultation fee?

    Thought I would bump this old thread for Throw back Thursday... and to bring it full circle, the A's just hired Wash back.

    I saw that this morning...still not sure if I'm sorry Wash left the Rangers or not. I don't think his heart was in it any more.

    PS - That's how baseball go.

    Glad he's not "Washed" up and he's getting back on the horse and not spiraling out of control.
