2009 Closers Thread (No Game Commentary Please)

Cruz had a solid 1-2-3 save against the Jays. Soria looks to be coming back tomorrow so it might be his only save for a long while.

I really hope it works out that way. Picked him up a couple of days ago and have to drop him tomorrow to make room for an incoming trade. I may have gotten lucky with perfect timing!

Heard the annoucers say they expect Soria to be back for the MIN series.

Anyone know why Ziegler isn't in to close?

Interesting question, I wonder if Geren wants to use Zeigler as a setup man with Casilla out or what the story is.

According to A's radio broadcast, Ziegler has the flu and was unavailable to pitch today.

swine flu?

Last 5 posts are the epitome of how NOT to use the Closer thread.

Do you guys like sifting through usless garbage and/or just hearing yourselves talk?
Unbelievable.

As a Soria owner who didn't watch the KC game I am happy to hear that he'll be back tomorrow, and the closer thread is EXACTLY the place to explain (post-game) that Ziegler is the closer, but Wuertz got the save b/c Ziegler was sick. You really think this thread should only consist of people quoting articles saying whether a change in closer has occurred or not? Try using Google-Alerts or something...

It's been said for some time now that Soria will return for the weekend series.

It's way, way.....way, way, way quicker to look in the 5+ places on the internet that stated Zeigler was just sick then it is to write up a question about it, and wait for an answer.

Do you really think the closer thread should be filled with:

If so....enjoy

You've put just as many posts up on this page not having anything to do with closers as anyone else. Calm down. Or leave the thread if you don't like it.
