Macha's Defiant Return!
Written by wrigleyville   
Friday, 31 October 2008
I always wondered why Ken Macha was fired in Oakland (after two first and two second place finishes). Turns out he was (is?) an asshole: After the A's fired Macha in Oct. 2006, a number of respected A's veterans — including Barry Zito, Dan Haren, Jason Kendall and Mark Kotsay — were strongly critical of him in comments to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. "The atmosphere wasn't positive, for some reason," Eric Chavez said. "That was hard for us to deal with — here we are, winning the division, we're banged up but we're still doing what we should be doing, and every time he spoke to us, he'd say how much he appreciated the effort, but then you'd read things where he was always smashing people ... This negative cloud was just eating at everybody." Macha - who got a two-year deal - doesn't seem to care if the boys like him, which you'd have to agree with as long as he wins: "The job of the manager is really not to be buddies with all of the players," Macha said at his introductory news conference on Thursday. "You have to make very difficult decisions over the course of a year. ... The bottom line is this: The manager is responsible for wins and losses. The amount of respect that you get from the players is showed by the intensity in which he played. Take a look at our teams we had in Oakland, they always played better as the season went on. We always won games in Oakland." I'm guessing Prince Fielder gets dealt? He already has enough daddy issues.
