Yep welcome to the forums man! This is an incredible place to talk baseball and we have a few A's fans ready to chalk it up with new faces. So have fun and look at all the contestsand articles written by our writers. This place is second to none so enjoy.
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.
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.
"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
