Around SBN: The cost of firing vs. the cost of retaining head coaches

Does Sabean still like gritty veterans?



What's the word?  Rosterbation?

How about we send all our gritty veterans:  Giambi, Cabrera, Nomar, etc. to the Giants for Sandoval.  It seems pretty clear to me that the A's are not in a "funk" or a "slump" they really are this bad, so why not some "out of the box" thinking and start seeing what can be done differently?

Yes, a total delusion but man it's more fun than watching the current team!

Sabean can have whatever "gritty veteran" he wants

Namely Geren, but Nomar/Giambi/Crosby/Springer as well.

They say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing all the time!

Ketchup does NOT go on garlic fries

More garlic, however, does.

“Extra garlic, please.”

“Deal.”

Parmesan cheese also works with garlic fries

I’ll take some of that too.

Deal.

I don't want to trade Giambi!!!!!!

Isn’t he on pace for 22HR’s and 80 RBI’s?

That seems better than what Barton can produce…

And don't forget

a .200 batting average fielding percentage!

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

I can not diasgree that while

the stats (Giambi BA) don’t lie, the opinion to keep want to keep Giambi is purely selfish at this point!
