aaaannnddd....
Cust almost sends Ellis right back to the DL….
Cust needs to be put on the DL.
He’s a walking disaster in both the field and at the plate at this point. He needs to get himself back to his prior form.

I also agree with those moves.
But I also think that Cust’s back is really bothering him and he’s trying to be a hero by sticking it out and trying to provide some modicum of power for this pitiful offense. However, he’s not helping things and management is not helping things by running him out there in RF where he surely certainly ever be for long periods of time.

Lineup Monday should be
SS Pennington
LF Buck
DH Cust
RF Cunningham
CF Sweeney
C Suzuki
2B Ellis
1B Barton
3B Cardenas
Or something to that effect.

Honestly I don't see either being at or above average in the bigs.
Petit has the glove, but really really cannot hit and I don’t know that I believe in Pennington’s abilities to walk at this level.

Or Cardenas.

I think Pennington might be the better play.
Both guys can’t really hit the ball all that well, but at least Pennington should be able to provide a modicum of OBP due to his plate discipline. He could also do a little damage on the basepaths. I’d rather roll with him.
I'm never gonna do it without the fez on!
i think
that tomorrow morning heads should roll
it’s long past time this team begins to acknowledge the lack of a professional approach to this game pretty much top to bottom, for this the 3rd year running now.
the future can be bright with the youthful arms but you can’t keep torching them (outman is a tragedy) and expect to have any credibility as a franchise, all the more shameful because this one has a glorious, standard-setting and proud history and has been a cornerstone of mlb for over 100 years… oh how the mighty have fallen.
sorry for no caps but i have a bad back injury and just got up from bed to write this and say hi and that i am sorry this franchise has apparently lost so much respect for itself and us the fans…. i hope things change starting with the mgr being cut loose, hopefully right after this game.
Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?

My hope is the worse the team looks the more probable it is Beane...
…realizes that this is more than just about Geren not having a good team to work with, that it’s got a lot to do with him being the wrong guy for this job because of his personality.
Last of the Ninth - Photography Site / jamesvenes.com - Blog
We were incredibly spoiled as fans for about a decade, there
I don’t think now is the time to act like unhappy children, stamping our feet and sticking out our lower lip, just because the team has hit a rough patch. This, too, shall pass. And there’s not much you can do with the rest of this season, anyway.
If it was just a poor season
But it is 3 putrid seasons in a row. Time to stamp feet. I agree – heads should roll tomorrow morning.
Baja been here
I expect it
The more inept play the more likely heads will roll.
But I have been waiting for the Genius to do something for a long time.
Trainman I have a question for you
you’ve always been opposed to Moneyball, but what do you propose for a low budget team instead of a concept like Moneyball?
"True fact: In a global thermonuclear war, the only human who would survive would be David Eckstein" -PT
I am opposed to putting crap on the field
Beane has money he can spend to improve some key positions.
Teams with low payroll all have better position players than we do for the most part
You have to blame Beane for the failing offense which has been declining 6 years in a row. Each year the Runs, BA and OBP have declined.
And fire the manager and I will be more than happy. That is the first thing that needs to be done.
This is currently a poorly run team from top to bottom and management is accountable for this
I don't think
Anybody saw Giambi, Cabrera, Holliday, and Nomar failing to this degree of epicness
"Their batters are patient to the point that it's annoying." -Ryan Franklin
by Helloooo 1st on Jun 28, 2009 3:16 PM PDT up reply actions
Uhh ok
The A’s have the 4th lowest payroll. The 3 teams below us also suck. Beane might have money to spend, but there is noone worth spending it on.
The offense has declined, but we are in a rebuild, which, IMO is an essential part of a low budget team.
Agreed on Geren sucking.
"True fact: In a global thermonuclear war, the only human who would survive would be David Eckstein" -PT
I agree with this
I will say that the A’s have drafted pretty poorly of late. A large percentage of our prospects were drafted by other teams.

A rebuild is an essential part of a low budget team?
That statement doesn’t make a whole lot of sense or is, at best, an incomplete statement.
A rebuild is an essential part of any losing team (low budget, medium budget, or high budget) that has crappy major league players, coaches, General Manager, team chemistry, fundamentals, philosophies, etc…
The A’s operation as a whole is failing and it starts at the top with the owner and general manager.
If you can’t afford to pay for talent that has matured to free agency, then rebuilding is part of a low-budget team. Unless you’re just knocking it out of the park every draft.
This is just unacceptable. People are paying good money to go to the ball park. -Ken Korach
by Leopold Bloom on Jun 28, 2009 3:43 PM PDT up reply actions
No a rebuild isn't essential to any losing team
Higher budget teams, like the Yankees can just get free agents, a luxury the A’s don’t have.
"True fact: In a global thermonuclear war, the only human who would survive would be David Eckstein" -PT
I don't buy into that small-market, no money myth.
Yes, Yanks have an advantage with player purchases. Lower budget teams have to be shrewder. A rebuild can start with a GM and other organizational people. You gotta spend money (wisely) to make money. The A’s have been second in league attendance before – they can make money. All this owner does is constantly whine about everything without actually trying to improve anything.
I don't get how you can't buy into it.
The A’s have less money to work with. Fact. The A’s do have to be shrewder, but that only goes so far. There aren’t enough undervalued FA’s to put together successful team. The A’s need to rebuild so they can bring these players on their own.
Second in attendance when they were good. The money will come once the team is good. Also, what could the owner really do at this point to improve anything?
"True fact: In a global thermonuclear war, the only human who would survive would be David Eckstein" -PT
There is no argument here that a rebuild is necessary with this team and, indeed, underway (at least the pitching staff).
That is obvious. The argument is not to use small-market as the excuse for the sorry state that the owner and GM has let this team get to. They have no one to blame but themselves.
The owner could put a good product on the field first and foremost and try to sustain at the major league level while constantly re-tooling with a strong minor league system. Put money into keeping some players instead of trading everyone with any talent away every year. Get a GM who values managers and fundamentals more than his own ego. Improve marketing immensely. Respect the fans instead of taking them for granted. Embrace the community of Oakland instead of talking shit about it all the time. Build a new stadium in Oakland and nowhere else. I like that Rickey Henderson brought back up the idea of just building the new stadium in the huge parking lot that is already there. I could go on and on…
We're turning into LL

Well .430 is rather unsustainable. ;)
AK can suck for another month until I start feeling any where near what I do for the rest of these bums (except Suzuki and half the pitching staff).
Dont blow Bailey.

He also has a chance to be really not good, but I still think the A’s will rue the decision to keep Sweeney and give up on Gonzalez.

I miss Chad God
I don't think it's necessarily a mental thing
He probably can’t sustain the same velocity over 7 innings that he can over one or two.
And even if it is mental, being able to pitching one inning mentally doesn’t mean he can handle starting mentally.

1. Fire Geren.
2. Fire Skaaaaaaaaaaaalen for farking up Cust.
3. Give Norma his outright release.
4. Ask Giambi to retire (if he won’t do it, have him join Norma).
5. Trade Holliday to the Cardinals, Mets, or any other team that will have him who is not in the AL West.
6. DFA OrCa.
7. DL Cust to let his back rest, and get him back to his Three True Outcomes philosophy.
8. Call up Pennington, Buck, Cunningham, and Barton. Start Buck in LF, Barton at 1B, Pennington or Crosby at SS.
9. Admit this season is a big FAIL, and start over by allowing the kids to have a chance to suck, instead of making us watch veterans suck.

and tells me Willy Mays has died, “it’s all over the news Dad”. I go in and check the MLB and ESPN sites – nothing. I go to Google – nothing. Then I notice a yahoo headline that Billy Mays – I guess a TV pitchman passed away. No idea why I felt compelled to share this but it made me laugh. Though I’m sure Billy was a fine man.
