Last year Alan Embrees performance was much better than this season.  Last season i did not care if he came in as i felt the lead was always safe.   But this year different story and after allowing 3 runs in the bottom of the 8th tonight it just got me thinking maybe he is the new Mecir.

Jim Mecir I am sure you all remember him.  Everytime this guy came in i just knew the A's were going to lose.  Now I am starting to think the same for Embree any body else feel the same?
