I don't really think he was fired for poor playoff performance, he had lost the respect of his players and management, two things a manager must have.
The fact the team did not show up for the tigers series is indicative of that.
In this situation, the manager basically has to go for the good of the team and the organisation, its not always a slight on the manager.

Macha was a moron..... he had lost respect of his entire team, would not talk to his players and publicly picked on his injured players..... he made bad moves in the playoffs (starting Loaiza at home for game 2 against Detroit when Haren had a much better record at home).
He and Billy Beane (GM) did not get along and Beane is the person running the A's.........

The rumor is that the players hated Macha and that he referred to players as "comodities".
The team was said to be on the verge of a clubhouse mutiny during the ALCS.

It seems the A's didn't get along with Macha. Read these articles:

they tremendously lots going into this season scuffling with an uphill conflict. lost sheets, lost CC, picked up next to no person in pitching. ontop of that, the bats have been familiar to give way now and back as they did previous due final season...till they get fortunate, locate some gem stones or make strikes, it extremely is an prolonged year

Because he didn't get the A's into the World Series, even though he never went to bat even once or threw one pitch. Scape goat is probably the best word.
