ANtics Episode 2.35: Ron "Washed Away"

When the 2007 season starts, the A's will have a new manager. They will also have a new 3rd base coach, now that longtime coach Ron Washington has won the top job for the division rival Texas Rangers.

Since I'm exiled in Texas for the moment, I'm able to see Rangers games.  You bet I'll pay attention to Wash's work.  I look forward to seeing him -- HIM -- improve the club.  And I do hope he succeeds -- it'll be a testament to his abilities.
