Did he act like a douchebag when he got the save?

He’s an unbelievable pitcher but wants out of LAA for some reason.

Another disappointing start for the offense.

Get used to it, Mr. Gallagher.

what does "change" include

A new rumor regarding A’s closer Huston Street seems to surface daily, and Friday’s speculation du jour, courtesy of a scout working Oakland’s game against the visiting Rangers, had the A’s sending Street to the Dodgers for third baseman Andy LaRoche “and change.” LaRoche and Street both participated in pre-game warmups with their respective teams Friday night, though, so if a deal is indeed made, it wouldn’t be announced until late Friday night or at some point over the weekend. LaRoche, a 24-year-old right-handed hitter, is batting .214 with two homers, three RBIs and a .333 on-base percentage in 26 games with Los Angeles this season. Also said to be interested in Street, among others, are the Reds, Rays and Brewers; those same three teams and a handful of others have reportedly kicked the tires on the availability of A’s lefty setup man Alan Embree. —Mychael Urban

If LaRoche is the Chosen One

he’ll be gifted with frankincense and myrban.

Ivan De Jesus? Elbert? Please?
