Between Donnelly, Tavarez and Pineiro as we thought. I have a feeling it will be Tavarez.

[a700hitter]

I think Piniero

[Mr Crunchy]

id prefer the mick with the crazy glasses

if that isnt happenin i'll take the nut who is potential bridgewater material

i do like the uncertainty that tavares brings to the table

 

id struggle if i had to did in on his ass after he gave up a hit or 2

[jacksonianmarch]

He might kill someone after blowing a save.

[ORS]

I have a feeling it will be Tavarez.

You still aren't allowed to play with sharp objects, are you?

I love sharp objects.

[riverside sluggers]

Tavarez will probably get the nod because he seems to be Tito's man love favorite this season (see Millar, Kapler). The best bet is Pineiro

[Mr Crunchy]

well im not exactly whippin my skiippy over the choices

lets face it

ny has had 1 thing during their 11 year run

their closer

 

we on the other hand have been in 1st on 6-1 every single year with the exception of

2004

we fold they get better

is it the wheeling and dealing that puts them over the top or us just burning out?

[BSN07]

I'll stick with my original prediction and say Pinerio.

 

All this crap about Taveras is retarded, both Donnely and Pinerio are having better springs and Taveras plunks more guys then he gets out.

 

I think they are still looking quietly for a trade, there saying its going to be one of these guys because they don't want other ball clubs to try and bend them over when it comes to trading for someone. If you come out and say Oh my God our BP is s***** and full of dumass's and we have no closer options at all, and we will have to trade for some one, every team out there will be drooling waiting for you to call so they can take advantage of you. If you say you think your BP is good and that you have internal options at the closer spot you feel will get the job done you don't seem nearly as desperate, the more leverage in trade talks you will have. This is the reason Theo plays everything so close to his vest.

[riverside sluggers]

Eh actually bosox, not meant to step on your toes, but Donnelly has tailed off since starting impressively early on. I think his ERA is around 7 or 8 now. Tavarez is lucky his spring ERA is just 3.55, he has allowed a good number of baserunners

[jacksonianmarch]

1.47 career whip and coming off a yr where it was 1.56 does not look solid for a closer.

[BoSox21]

I'm gonna go with option D: we're screwed either way

[rician blast]

On NESN this a.m. they had on some writer who is covering the Sox. Might have been Edes.

 

He said indications are that it'll be Tavares.

[jacksonianmarch]

party at jack's house tonight!!

[ANiMAL]

Pineiro..... the sox are stubborn enough to choose pineiro so they dont look stupid for giving him $4mil just for middle releif

[BSN07]

That does seem likely, besides his stuff hasn't been to bad either. Didn't he have a nice scoreless streak going?

 

No problem not stepping on my toes at all, I don't get to see alot of the games and I fall behind a little bit sometimes, so hes not looking that great huh? That sucks but I still don't think they will give the closer job to wacky Taveras. He does allow way too many base runners and tends to lose his mind at some point as well. If they name Taveras closer, Jacko will probably lose a load in his pants and laugh until his sides burst...

Tavares as closer will be an absolute and total disaster. Yes, I would laugh a ton. Probably not shoot off a load though, but I may split my sides in laughter.

[adam123]

no its paplebon

[schillingouttheks]

no its paplebon

 

Thank you, Captain Obvious. It's not like they were discussing this before Papelbon was announced as the probable closer

 

So much for you "working on" your grammar/spelling/whatever.
