Thanks everybody. It's good to be here. A place I can vent all my frustrations about the A's. We all know they frustrate us this time of year. Ken Macha ixn't the only one That irritates me. Houston Street is another one. I don't see him turning into a good closer. I dearly miss Jason Isringhausen. Out of all the Closers we have had Since we became good again He's been the best.

Huston Street?

I haven't been paying much attention to the A's, to be honest, but wasn't that guy one of the best last year?

yea, he was last year...he has started slowly this year, then got hurt, and he's been a little better since he's been back. I think Macha misuses him in certain situations because right now he doesn't have his setup men and doesn't trust the AAA pitchers down there in close games.

Your guy's bullpen has been pretty shaky recently with Calero and Flores just to name a few.

yea, that's because Witasick, Duke, and Kennedy are on the DL...plus Harden and Loaiza being on the DL pulled out Halsey and Saarloos...

What should be the pen:
Saarloos long relief
Halsey long relief
Calero middle relief
Witasick middle relief
Duke setup
Kennedy setup
Street closer

Current pen:
Gaudin long relief
Flores middle relief
Keisler middle relief
Roney middle relief
Calero setup
Karsay setup
Street closer

which pen would you prefer?

Welcome man!


"They asked me if I wanted the ball in Game 6, and I said yes. I'll always say yes. That's what I did with Jack McKeon. I told him, 'Let me see how I feel tomorrow.' I went out, did a long toss, came in and said, 'I'll pitch, I want it, I want to do it.' And it ended up working out." -Josh Beckett
