The A's took 2 of 3 from the Yankees this weekend. It's amazing what good pitching will do for you...That's why this "firing the manager" thing can be such a joke in baseball.

Sometimes the manager doesn't know how to handle a staff and that hurts the team.

That's true. Look if you watch the team every day and think that the manager has actually done a bad job, that's one thing. But so many managerial firings are made for the sake of change and that's silly.
