Where's Al Alburquerque been lately? We were seeing the guy regularly since the start of the year, and I don't think he's even been mentioned in at least a week now. Is he hurt?
 
No, our starting pitching erased his job... Seriously, even JV pitched into the 8th and 7th his last two starts, that's amazing for his year... Basically, I hope we never see "everyday AL" again this year... He did a GREAT job tonight, but when we see him we are behind... I want to see this moving forward... Starter, Joba/Soria in the 8th, Nathan in the ninth... If Nathan becomes more unreliable(I don't think that is possible), then switch Nathan/Soria...

Seriously, I don't know why that change has not been done already, Soria is a much better pitcher when closing... Only thing I can think of is that Nathan is not a team guy, and they are scared of blowing up the "chemistry" of the bullpen...

I live in DFW, Soria is much better than he has shown the first couple of outings... I believe he will be our closer in September, hopefully Joe can still be "in" with that!!! I'm not so sure...
