Much of the early concerns around this year's A's have been injury-related, whether the focus is Rich Harden, Bobby Crosby, or now, Justin Duchscherer... but Bob Geren is getting his feet wet, learning the nuances of big league managing. The ANtics check in on some of factors in his thought process.

Sorry for the delay

Let's say we've learned that AN 3.0 prefers Opera over Safari and Mac/Firefox. More investigations are forthcoming.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Did you vote for 'hairstylist'?

Obviously that should be a priority over, umm, let's say, medical staff or whatever?!

I voted 'other'

Geren should focus on keeping the team healthy!

One of the funniest ANtics in a while...

Poor Melhuse! Hairy Nick! Clutchy VMC!

Yes, Billy, "it would be nice to go to Europe for a month and know that your team is in its mid-20s and locked in for the next five or six years."

Poor Melhuse indeed

I almost feel guilty about that one. Almost.

Other!

Injury Avoidance! I don't care what it takes, Geren; medicine, chiropracty, massage therapy, aromatherapy, acupuncture, meditation, homeopathy, astrology, whatever! Just do something about the disabled list!

P.S. Go A's! Damn, Spring training is sweet. It's been so long.

We're learning.

The previous version put the polls beneath the fold, so to speak. This one only allows polls on diaries and not stories. Soon, we will have our training wheels removed. :-)
