He has been.
Although a 3-run game in the 7th is something we can still overcome...if Papelbon comes up I won’t hold my breath...we can’t hit sh*t against that guy.

Yeah, but it’s word association. That’s the first thing people think of when they hear “insurance.”

I say put Papelbon into the game and if he falters, than bring in Beckett. But right now, we ought to be thinking about saving Becketts for Game 1 of WS.

Yes. That sounds like good plan.
To: dancusa
Hopefully that they got Gagne tied up and duct taped to a chair somewhere in the clubhouse. Or on a plane to Fort Myers...
Fenway had better be a Gagne-free zone tonight!
