Appear 60-70 times with the game on the line in most of them or start 30??? You guys are lucky to have a guy like him at the end.

Also, think of this. throughout highschool and college and little leagues, pitchers are never groomed to be closers. It really isnt until the MLB level that the closer is ever utilized, so the likeliness of finding and grooming a closer would be most likely harder than finding an elite starter.

That is the most stupidest thing ever, look at the team across the state and ask them how important relief pitching is.

But do you think K Rod and Papelbon will be performing at their current levels in, say, 6 years? I'd say definitely not with K Rod, maybe Papelbon, who by the way was moved into and out of the rotation.

What a fun game to watch as well...
I love seeing games like this that we actually pull off. The last 3-4 years, I would have expected and accepted a loss in a close one like this. Boys in Blue are on the uprise.....

Yeah, true. Wagner has had success for some time, too. But the only constant I can think of for a longer stretch of time is Mo, and Soria looks so much like this guy it isn't funny, with a better hook of course.

At least now we have reason to hope something good will happen. For a long time, we haven't. |

When fans know it's an 8-inning game from the start, that's pretty darn good reason to hope.

Well the good thing is when we play like this and we get guys like Guillena nd Meche other guys will sign a little easier with us. We have some solid pitching, it doesnt take much to see that. A good player can see we are just 1-2 players away when you look at it.

Well IMO if you have a Mariano Rivera clone you should hope they keep his ass in the pen. Losing games late really F's with a team in a bad way.
