What would it actually take to fire Geren?

Leaving aside the current and past decisions by Geren - ie. pulling Giambi and Nomar early in Sat's game with the A's well behind and then discovering that he really could've used them in the 8th and 9th of the 11-9 loss - what events do you think would have to transpire in the future in order for him to get his walking papers?

I would think that 2 last place finishes in 3 years...though finishing 1 game out of last in 2006 should approximate to 3 last place finishes...would represent cause enough. However, I think the team's performance in the 2nd half will determine Geren's future. If the A's show improvement, even if they finish in last, he stays; if they continue to play abysmal defense and demonstrate complete offensive ineptitude while Geren sticks to positive platidudes, he goes.

Common Sense

And by the way, the finishing one game out of last was 2007, not 2006.

We finished out of last in 2006?

Is that how we made it to the playoffs? They felt sorry for us?
