I was right (for once in my life)

I correctly predicted that Andrew Bailey would be our All Star representative. Bow down before me. :-)

Crosby to Yankees for cash?

I was thinking "Why not trade Bobby Crosby to the Yankees for cash?" After all, you would be getting some of your money back for the four non-productive years he's had, and you'd be eliminating a huge hole. The Yankees might take it because they might figure that He'd fit in well with the stadium, and he wants to leave Oakland. Yes, I know the article is from March.

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.

Hannahan Helps Boy

"I think with the second cancer, he was kind of like, 'Why me?'" Beth Strotman said. "But when Jack wrote that on that ball, 'I'm your No. 1 fan,' Luke felt special. Like, 'Why ... me!' It was so great. Now he's the guy with a major-league player in his corner."

Original Script for Moneyball

The link is to a PDF file.

Apparently this is the script before the re-write.
