As an A's fan I'm happy about this. Art Howe is a nice manager winning us 100 games back to back years. But the guy just can't get it done in the playoffs. He got completely out managed this year, starting Tim Hudson instead of Zito. That was a bone headed decision. He doesn't move runners over, he doesn't bunt, and he doesn't manufacture runs. Howe needs a new gameplan, good riddence.
