		<description><![CDATA[Any surprise? the Giants lead the world, by far, with steroid guys and ex-&#039;substance&#039; guys...
That&#039;s why we call the Giants &#039;Over-ACheaters&#039;....  Some more thoughts.about  Giants and As and steroids  http://bayareacoupons.info/giants-gifts

Glaring Differences between A’s  and Giants Managers and Management   5-11

        To Billy Beane, the manager may not make a difference   but  don’t tell that to suffering A’s fans, who after nearly four years have had  more than  enough of  Bob Geren.  Now, previous Beane managers Macha and Howe  are looking good, by comparison; at least they were winners.
         Why would a manager continue NOT to play his best hitter, Ryan Sweeney (.364 as of 5-11) on a regular basis, at least while he’s hot?.
         Instead ,  Geren continues to run out  ‘Mendoza line’  hitters like Ellis, DeJesus and Barton – and even worse, Geren is batting Barton second!.          A smart manager like Giants’ Bochy will play the hot hitters.  Geren just runs out the same players, hoping one day they’ll hit. GM Beane has his favorites and will resign an Ellis for 6  mill, saying we need his defense.   And,  don’t blame the low averages totally on the A’s  hitters, themselves.
