Out of all the teams in first place in either league, Wagner would be my second choice, only to Mo.

That being said, of all teams this year, I'd say Papelbon, Mo, Nathan, then Jenks

You did forget Nathan though.

Yeah, I keep forgetting him. Is he hurt because I NEVER hear anything about the guy. How many saves does he have? He has to be up to like 25 the way the Twins are rollin'.

Not hurt at all. He just hasn't had that many saves recently because they've been winning by quite a few runs.

REC 6-0 | SV 22 | ERA 1.60 | WHIP .84


Pelfrey got sent down.

That has nothing to do with anything. The bullpen has been improved if you would take the time to notice. Besides, I'm a fan of a team that won for 14 straight years. I've seen what it takes. You've seen.......uh.........four months of good baseball propped up by the buying up of bigtime FA.

We locked up a Top 5 closer, overpaid? Yes, but so is B.J. Ryan. To a man, if I asked most of the guys here (outside of Yankees, Blue Jays, BoSox, ChiSox, and maybe Angels fans) which closer would you want if money wasn't an option: their current guy or Wagner we'd see Billy's name come up. A LOT.

Yeah, no doubt its worked out well THIS YEAR. Let's see if all you Met fans have the same opinion in the 3rd and 4th years of that contract. It has the potential to be a huge albatross dangling around the necks of Minyana and the FO.

BJ Ryan is totally different. He's what? 5 years younger and OH YEAH HE'S NEVER HAD A SERIOUS ARM INJURY.
 
Surprise surprise, JD Drew K'ed with a guy on 2nd. 22 K's vs 27 hits with runners in scoring position.

RISP .262 .380 .408 .788
RISP w/2 Outs .234 .379 .383 .762

Ethier comes through in the clutch! Come on Betemit, knock him in too.
 
I'm still amazed by the fact that a ground ball pitcher like Wang can have so much success with a craptacular defense playing behind him. Amazed.

Watch them on turf. It's not pretty. At home, though (where Wang is 8-1 with an era under 3), they aren't terrible.

Jesus, Wang is ****ing dealing.
 
****, this Sowers kid is making Ortiz look silly.
 
Wily Mo! He almost killed someone.
 
I'll say it again-- Trot getting hurt is the best deadline move by the Red Sox.

Wily Mo already has nearly as many homers as Trot has-- in probably less than a third of the ABs.
 
I ****ing honestly knew that was going happen. ****ing Timlin.
 
****. Timlin sucks ass.

Where the **** was Papelbon at in that situation?

GEE THANKS MIKE AND FRANCONA

Okay, Dominican Trifecta of Doom, Red Sox Nation needs you again.

Marlin boadcasters give the TBS guys a run for their money on being some of the worst broadcasters around,wow. :lol
At least their camera guys always find smokin' girls to zoom in on when they come back from commercial breaks.
 
Ozzie Guillen thinks his pitchers are as good as last year and is terribly mistaken. Thanks for costing us another game!

Yeah I saw that a few times. The game is much better muted too. Though I still like to turn up the volume and hear both the Marlin and Mets fans try to out cheer one another at the ball game.

And another bad call by the umps,wow.

6 more games left....

Yeah they should be fun to watch. Your bullpen is much better with Wickman and Baez lately.
But you guys just can't seem to be consistent over a long stretch this year.

Oh shit-Wagnitez is up.

.......<holds breath>........
