Any time Dennis Eckersley’s name is mentioned, all I can think about is Mike Birbiglia’s standup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljGtjzyxVD8

This organization has a real leadership problem right now. Starting at the top, Beane has been a no-show this season, and Geren seems to have lost the respect of his team…..assuming he ever had it in the first place. This has gone on far too long in Oakland, as it was also the case with Ken Macha.

Getting ripped by Eckersley has got to suck when you’re a pitcher.

Wow. That many words from Eck, and not one of them was ‘cheese’.

“A’s manager Bob Geren said, “Fuentes tonight wasn’t sharp. Three days in a row, we pushed it a little bit.”

Geren said he had checked with Fuentes about his availability before the game, and Geren said that Fuentes is a veteran who knows his body well and who knows when he can go and when he can’t”

From May 4, 2011. I think this is where it starts Mr. Eckersley
