Word, welcome to the forum, man. Provie does an awesome job on the forum, and hopefully you stick around and help him out.
Welcome. Feel free to bash Macha and Bobby Kielty as much as you want.
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.

These are great forums, feel free to venture in and out of the A's forum and to other teams forums as well, that's what makes strike3 so great.

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.Originally Posted by Providence A's
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
