    We discussed this in the old forum, this article appeared on Grantland.com today and thought it was a good read. An article Kevin Seitzer wrote was even mentioned.

      How does Beane still have a job in Oakland?
      After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

        Doesn't he own a piece of the team? And have incriminating videos of the majority owner?

          Is Moneyball 2.0 finding pitchers who can't find the strike zone? Oakland pitchers have coughed up 13 walks on 220 pitches today!!!

            Right now, ownership can justify the current situation to the fanbase by saying "hey, we have a genius for a GM, he knows what he's doing, things will get better soon."

            If they fire him, they no longer have that built-in excuse that precludes the asking of very tough questions.
