An open letter to Ken Macha!! Macha!! Macha!!

[Providence A's]

Dear Fozzie Bear, errrr Ken Macha,

Today's game was the last straw. I am really sick and tired of watching you mismanage the bullpen for my Oakland A's. When pitchers not named Barry Zito, Dan Haren, and a healthy Rich Harden give you six shutout innings, you congratulate them upon returning to the dugout and tell them to hit the showers. After the pitcher has left the dugout, feel free to pray to God that you got 6 shutout innings out of a bum or whisper to Curt Young "Phew, we really got lucky there, huh?"

Once in a while you are allowed to send said bum back to the mound, but you damn well better have the bullpen ready to go as soon as the bum gives up a base runner. You single handily have caused my beloved Oakland A's to lose at least 10 games by my count due to your mismanagement of the bullpen. You're lucky to have a job and I suggest you start calling Mr. Billy Beane for in-game suggestions on what to do in certain situations because you obviously do not have a clue.

Sincerely,

A disgruntled Oakland A's fan

PS: You suck!

PPS: No, seriously, you suck!

What else is there to say? I was sick to my stomach watching that garbage yesterday. Macha needs to go and should never have been brought back. We aren't going to win shit with this idiot at the helm.

Once good thing about him. He has enabled the Rangers (1-6 in their last 7 games) to stay just 1.5 games out of first.

The way things are going, you think he'll be out of a job after this season?

[A'sDiehard]

Fire Macha now (let's get it over with) and make Ron washington the head coach.

Macha should never have been brought back.

[Providence A's]

Beane seriously should be the manager and GM just like Connie Mack was for the A's.
