More in an irregularly occurring series...The A's are still suffering from a confluence of injuries, despite their win at the Yankees earlier today. Among the most banged up is the team's bullpen. To help satiate this problem, they've acquired left-hander Steve Karsay from the Cleveland Indians, in exchange for an undisclosed amount of cash.

Simply put, the A's sucked back then, and he's all I could use.
