This game is a lost cause. Used up mo and the offense did nothing.

 

f*** you, Empire.

 

Damn your reverse psychology.

[Beckett95]

Game over pretty much, just need Mo to wrap it up in the bottom half.

[Beckett95]

how old is Todd Jones??

 

he freaking sucks, letting up a hit to Kelly Stinnett?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Rivera has only throw 16 pitches. Torre should leave him out there.

[Beckett95]

he will be. Theres no other option but Villone

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Bernie is hot right now. 8-6 Yanks give Rivera some breathing room.

[empirestrikesback26]

f*** you, Empire.

 

Damn your reverse psychology.

I've done this for years. Basically it covers me for when I'm wrong, but I'm usually not serious. When it comes to small and farnsworth however, I usually am serious when I predict doom and gloom.

[empirestrikesback26]

Go Andy, put it away.

[CrespoBlows]

Rivera - 3.0 IP 1 H 3 K's

[Pinstripe_Pride]

Yeah Rivera is just about amazing, spectacular, phenomenal, all of the above. But we already new that. Hello tied for first.

Yeah, he's the best closer in the AL East, right?

[Mr Crunchy]

rivera is the mvp of that team and was even when jon wetteland was closing for them.

farnsworth and proctor suck

farnsworth did his best to give detroit the game

small did his thing

all you want out of a guy like that is to be in the game and let your pen take over

he did just that..

[RedRuffing15]

Yeah, he's the best closer in the AL East, right?

lol, youve been waiting your whole life to be able to raise that question, and have a reason for it, huh?

[Pinstripe_Pride]

I'm not sure Papelbon could go those three innings. Has he pitched three innings in a closer role yet?

[CrespoBlows]

I'm not sure Papelbon could go those three innings. Has he pitched three innings in a closer role yet?

 

He's thrown more than 26 pitches, if that's what you meant to ask.

[Cocos Disciples]

He was a starter...

[jsinger121]

Papelbon I believe threw 3 innings in relief last year in an extra inning win over the Blue Jays.

[Pinstripe_Pride]

He was a starter...

Yes but in the closer role, especially when one hit can lose you the game, is much more pressure than starting the game for a teeth grinding 20 something year old.

 

And no I meant three innings. Mo just threw 26 pitches because he's amazing. And to throw only 26 pitches in your longest relief role since 1996 is even more so.

No one is doubting that. We all know that Mariano Rivera is an excellent closer, we've been through this. You asked, if Jonathan Papelbon could do the same, and yeah, he has done it in the past. Could he do it that effeciently? Probably not, but he could give you three strong innings.

[RedRuffing15]

Was that how many [Mariano] threw last night? I was curious about that. I actually think the 9th was a 4 pitch inning.

[RedRuffing15]

Marino= Past/Now

Papelbon=Now/Future

 

 

 

I think thats what everyones been trying to get across

[Pinstripe_Pride]

Well on a side note, I came across a funny article that pokes fun at Arod haters
