8/18 Vs the Sons that best be steppin' from Canada

[BoSox21]

fine, show me one stat Saito has Papelbon beat this year

 

and you say Saito has done "reasonably well" as closer this year. Would you consider a closer who is 28/31 in save chances doing at least a little better than reasonably well? don't get ridiculous

[Gosawks]

2 Down!!!

[suns]

Get him out already!!

 

EDIT:thank you.

[jacksonianmarch]

Papelbon looks awful. Wells and Ruiz should have put the balls in the seats.

Ugly, yes.

 

Over, not yet.

OK, you're once again loading my statement with implications I never put there.

 

You seem to have certain natural talents in that area.

 

What we all saw was a guy who had nothing in the prior inning. Having faith in the guy to turn it around is one thing, but taking him out for a different pitcher who might be feeling better today is by no means insane

[Gosawks]

Making it stressful as usual.

[Cocos Disciples]

Ballgame. That was hideous.

[SCM33]

ugly ugly ugly

[The_Destroyah]

thank god its over.

[Dojji]

Thank goodness, it's all academic now.

 

Sox win.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Game

[ms_sox]

I can't believe we won that one.

[suns]

Pap is having a rough stretch, I just wished it didn't come this late in the year.

[Gosawks]

Ballgame!!!

[SCM33]

2morrow will be a VERY tough game to win, bullpen was drained, and im assuming there is no way papelbon is available 2morrow

[suns]

We should really have a rangers game thread.

[yankees228]

Shockingly similar to Rivera's 8/4 save in Toronto. Both had nothing, and both somehow got it done.

Removing your closer after the 8th inning in a save situation when he hasn't blown it or allowed a run is pretty insane actually

[ms_sox]

Paps just looks tired...I don't mean just tonight either. I was thinking about that the last time he was in. I know he still gets the Saves, but .... that crazy fire in his eyes seems to be missing, if you know what I mean. Wonder if he has any RL mental distractions going on this year.

So start one.

[suns]

So start one.

 

Coco already did.

[Gosawks]

Texas up 6-5 bottom of the 6th.

[Spudboy]

Coco already did.

 

Executive authority.

 

Let's have fun.

[Cocos Disciples]

Coco already did.

 

Good suggestion.

[ManRam]

I hope this is a sign of things to come from the offense.

 

Just a blip for BEckett, most likely.

[SCM33]

TEX MIN TIED 6-6
