Sox closer
Papelbon?
Foulke?
Too early, but judging by what JP threw tonight, I don't think there's any question.
Dude was money. Not once did I chew up a fingernail.
Foulke (who btw still remains on my cell phone (WEEI's call) as the pitcher who delivered the final out to become World Champs)
(1st time in 86 yrs) makes me nervous.
Never felt that way w/ Jonathan Papelbon. Dude is a solid starter.
Ahhhh Gahd!!!! Too early to fret about this shit!

It's been a train wreck even in their World Championship season of '04,Screw_Michigan wrote:enjoy the view from the al east cellar. your relief pitching is an absolute train wreck.
but the Sox had the bats to overcome their pitching.
Similar events may or may not happen again this year.
I hope Pappelbon keeps his trendons healthy. :P

Dude, go get back to that loud study hall. The black kids need a bigot to bounce their wads of gum off.

I agree.DAN SHAUGHNESSY wrote:
Give the ball to the kid. He is simply better. Foulke had his time here and could have been MVP of the World Series, but anyone who has seen the two men this spring can tell you that Papelbon should be the closer. It's truly awkward, given the contract differences and Foulke's past heroics, but if the Sox want to win now, they should stick with Papelbon. There was something absolutely Patriot-like about Terry Francona's move Wednesday night, and we should all be thankful that the manager is finally comfortable enough to make these kind of hard decisions.
