Sorry, eh, about your A’s Yusuf.

More accurately, sorry, not sorry. : )

Just a note for young Blue Jays fans out there who wonder who that guy is with the S. Tom Henke is what is known as a “Lights Out” closer. I know that may seem strange but that means that he efficiently gets the opposing side out with no drama.
