Is anyone tired of hearing about this Joba guy??? Can our bullpen get any credit???

Ok so I'm sitting here waiting for this big 4 game series to start watching the Indians and Yankees game

and I just realized how sick I am about hearing how great this Joba guy is. I mean sure he can throw 100mph or whatever it is he throws but they talk about him like he's untouchable. Coming into play today these are his numbers:

9 Games (1-1) ERA 1.74 10.1 IP 8Hits 2ER 3BB 13SO

While yes, his numbers are pretty good, can someone at least acknowledge how good Casilla as been. I mean, if Jobas been amazing then Casilla has been just Awesome!! Even Brown has numbers like Joba and better if you are looking at ERA. The other night they spent like 10 mintues on Sportscenter talking about how amazing Joba is. Can someone show everyone a map and please point out Oakland to them.

Casilla 14 games (0-0) ERA 0.00 13.1 IP 9hits ZERO ER!! 2BB 18SO

Oh, yes

It’s absolutely shocking a Yankee would get more attention.

And during a Yankee game, too.

Maybe we should make Street a starter

... then perhaps the A’s could get some attention. Although rather than toy with the idea they would probably just assume the A’s management was crazy and were trying to throw away the season.

What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.

Hello, 74mk?

It’s for you.

I'm here to talk about the past.

Mmm ... 14-2

The beating the A’s are currently administering to the Angels has so lifted my spirits that I am able to confront this fanpost with equanimity. It’s lifespan will be much like that of tiny droplet of dew slipping down the artery of breeze-curved leaf; by mid-morning tomorrow it will have faded into the general cosmic vastness, fleeting and forgotten. Replaced, no doubt, by yet another (and another, and another) contribution of similar analytical value, dead perhaps but living on in the breath of its progeny.

Such is the way of things. Fanposts, life, time, the arc of human events. Rivers flow, flowers bloom, planets turn. It’s all, like, intertwined.
