Why not start a clean inning for Papelbon? You could see that two innings were enough for Okajima.
To: RockinRight
Tying run at the plate with Hafner coming up.
Just when I was getting nervous. Of course we have to face the Appleman.

Key now for Boston pitchers — no walks. Force the Indians to get hits.
Damn — they just got two hits.

Unless they want to bring in Gagne/sarcasm They won't bring Gagne in unless there's a 10 run lead...

Pap in 8th, Beckett in 9th?

Hope Pap can shut the Injuns down. Grady Little left Oki in too long...

That SOB Kerry and Ben Afflack attended a post season game back in 2004, constantly cut the line at every concession stand near their seats, didn’t pay and didnt tip anyone. Total jerks. I was at the game and it was the concession people who told me this.

I still would not bring him in.
P.S. Is it me or do Buck and Mcarver seem to be pulling for Cleveland?

Papelbon has given up the long ball on occasion, which is why two men on base isn’t a good thing.
