I think Macha is a very good manager. :up

I'm just glad that he's off the Red Sox pregame show on NESN!!

Talk about milquetoast!!

Macha was the manager of the Pawtucket Red Sox (AAA) before he took the A's job. Macha left the Red Sox organization when the Sox chose Grady Little over him.

Sabres,
I just looked up Macha's record in his four years with the A's. I didn't realize it was this good:

2003: 96-66
2004: 91-71
2005: 88-74
2006: 93-69

I'm surprised they hired Macha. I mean Syveum did get the Brew Crew into the playoffs. They were dead and buried before Syveum took over. It also helped that the Mets choked but the Brewers did win 5 out of 6 to make the playoffs.

Macha is a good hire. He should do well with a team that is probably a little better put together than the A's.

Now the Brewers have a real manager instead of the amateur that was there most of this year.
