barry's last start as an A....??

or next to last start?

I can't be there tonight, but I will be there on Saturday no matter what for the end of an era and to cheer my favorite Athletic on in his last appearance in the Green and Gold, assuming he's still with us then.

But make no mistake-- the jumble of injuries and contradictions that is Eric Chavez will soon be the final connection to an era rapidly slipping away. Barry Zito was the best of this time in my opinion-- he almost always came through when we needed him most. Good luck to him, and when we're playing meaningless September games this year and in the forseeable future, I hope Z is taking the hill for a team on the way to postseason glory-- lord knows  he deserves it.
