    He's not perfect, better to have some troubles now than in the post season. Besides the Sox are winning and still win this division.

    True, but he's blown a few saves, that gets me a little nervous :rolleyes:

    Honestly, I'm not nervous with Papelbon at all.

    Look at the other teams in the post season in both leagues. He's the best closer in the group.

    And before people get hung up about K Rod and his saves. Look at the raw stats.

    Rodriguez 64 2/3 IP 2.38 ERA 50 Hits 74Ks and 32 BBs

    Papelbon 64 IP 2.11 ERA 52 Hits 72Ks and 7 BBs

    Who would you rather have closing a big game?

    About this time last year Paps had two shaky outings too and I think last season turned out alright. ;)

    thought i would pass this along to sox fans as well as the yankee fans (if there are any left after this season - i kid).

    anyways, this guy makes awesome wwII-era propaganda sports themed prints (it will make sense when you click the above link and see them). they are all handmade and individual numbered, signed, dated, etc.

    fyi - i have no affiliation with this guy other than the fact that i bought a sox print from him last year for my mom for christmas. after i got it matted and framed it looks pretty awesome.

    btw - code 2727 will get you a 10% discount at checkout.

    interesting, looks like he is trying to emulate Shepard Fairey's style ...

    fairey does a lot of "propoganda" art ... even had a print called "rise above" ...

    http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/45819/56164

    I like the Big Papi one ... wish there was a touch more color to it.

    i agree that the style is similar. i like the big papi one as well. i wish i was able to have bought the pedroia print, although there is always the $10 poster.

    he was commisioned for a set of 4 posters that dunkin donuts gave away, but i would have to guess that they were given away just in the boston/new england area (as i know you are out in california).

    No need wasting all these runs on one game. Great start to the series so far!
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I'm now concentrating my viewing on Monday Night Football ... but damn, everytime I turn back, the red sox have more guys on base and more runs scored ...

    6th inning ... 13 - 1 .... there are going to be some guys getting plunked soon, even if there are warnings ... it's gonna get ugly.
