He got the save today, barley. He gave up 2 ER in 1.0 IP and they beat the Mets 5-4.

[bsox0407]

still he just needs to work out his problems they have a big enough lead to leave in to build up his confidence

[RWTP24]

I think it is crazy! It is going to hurt them more and more.

he is what took them to the world series last year.

[RWTP24]

Yes, but he is not even close to the same pitcher... Look at the stats from this year to last year.

[bsox0407]

thats true but still he just needs to be trusted a little more. same with the bullpen in tampa.

[RWTP24]

How much longer can you trust someone with those numbers??

if it doesnt change when october comes around they need to find someone else to do it. madson is equally as poor lately. he will get his fair share off closes when he is needed.

[RWTP24]

I’m sure they are dying right now that they did not get Wagner. Hey, you never know, maybe next year, ah?

[bsox0407]

yeah he is been good. he could improve. tried to kill me tonight.

[RWTP24]

LOL, he was in complete control.

[bsox0407]

he had first and third a double and a single just gotta keep him going and the postseason will go great. an extra closer is great. and so much better than gagne

[RWTP24]

Haha Gagne, Gagne, Gagne, why couldn't we have gotten the Gagne from LA? I saw at least a 15 games of his and he was f&$king ridiculous. What he did for 80+ games will never be touched.

i hope pap will do it next year. and wrecks k-rods record to.

[RWTP24]

That might be wishful thinking.

[bsox0407]

That might be wishful thinking.

 

it is but im a sox fan and an optimistic one at that.

[RWTP24]

You and me both.

[bsox0407]

You and me both.

 

cross my fingers every game and have a heart attack if it goes bad. lol :thumbsup:

[RWTP24]

We couldn't have gotten the Gagne from LA, because if that guy still existed, he'd still be dominating hitters in LA.

i think it was just a lot of wishful thinking.

I'm pretty sure with the salary Gagne would have commanded after 2006, the Dodgers would have let him go in favor of Broxton (or Saito, as fate would have it)
