It might be time for the A's to fire Bob Melvin

Bob Melvin is CLEARLY not the answer.
They have yet to win a GAME under his leadership.

What are you waiting for, A's?

Get rid of this guy!

(You see, it had nothing to do with Bob Geren. I just want the A's to have a new manager for every game.)

Bob Geren got fired? WHY? WHAT WENT WRONG?

I've been calling for Bob Geren to be axed for more than 2 seasons.
It's amazing that he has lasted longer than a Presidential term, taking a team that was a regular playoff participant and seeing them turn into a sub .500 non entity.

It's not ALL his fault but it clearly wasn't working.
Bob Melvin is the new manager. During Geren's first season (2007), Melvin took an unlikely and seemingly overmatched Diamondbacks team and led them to a 90 win season and homefield advantage in the NLCS.

They got to within 4 games of the World Series with Eric Byrnes as their top offensive threat and Livan Hernandez as their #3 starter.

In that time the D'Backs have been dismantled and rebuilt with 2 other managers.

And Geren stayed put in Oakland... until now.

The A's could use a little overachieving.

Or who knows?
Maybe Geren should have gotten ANOTHER 4 1/3 seasons!

How much longer can this go on for the A's?

Seriously... how badly do the A's have to stumble to have Bob Geren be relieved of his duties?

They keep losing and losing and losing and here we are 1/3 of the way through his FIFTH year as manager and there is no life on this team.

The A's were tied for first on May 17th.
Since then?

They are 5-14, including losing their last 7 games.

THE GEREN AS MANAGER THING IS NOT WORKING!

Do you need another 1/2 decade to figure that out?

Bob Geren has been the A's manager longer than Lincoln was President

Nobody's asking Geren to win a Civil War and free the slaves. Getting above .500 would be HIS Gettysburg Address.

Oh and by the way, Lincoln didn't inherit a very good situation.
Geren got a team that made the ALCS the year before he arrived.

Just saying.

What will it take to get Bob Geren fired?

Bob Geren still is the A's manager. Isn't that incredible?

The A's are playing in a winnable division.
You don't believe me? The MARINERS are competing and I think I could crack their 25 man roster.

And the A's are the only team with a losing record. Yeah I know this team has had some injuries. Do you know what OTHER team has had injuries?

EVERY TEAM IN BASEBALL!!!!

Oakland was the trendy pick for the AL West (I had the Angels) and the team just looks dead from the neck up. Having Bartolo Colon throw a complete game shutout against you is a low point. I don't care how his DNA has been scrambled and how many Gamma Rays he has absorbed.

And they got blown out again tonight by the Yankees. (Thanks for the help!)

The A's always look a little bit off. And I know that Billy Beane thinks managers are disposable... but should he DISPOSE of this one?

I mean isn't there someone who might be able to squeeze a little bit out of this club. ESPECIALLY when it looks like 87 wins might be enough to win the West?

Geren isn't new to the job.
This is Geren's 5TH SEASON!

He's lasted longer than a Presidential term.
Think about it. We gave Jimmy Carter and George H. W. Bush 4 years and then kicked them off to the curb, and they were running the COUNTRY!

Geren has the A's and the greatest peak he has climbed in 4 1/3 seasons was a .500 season. This was after the A's went to the post season 5 out of 7 seasons!

I've been calling for his head since 2009.

I've seen no reason for him to stick around.

Has he REALLY merited more time than the President of the United States?
