given their last 2 outings (albeit in non-save situations) anybody worried about Pap/Okie?

[/ QUOTE ]

no

Okajima could finish the year with a ~3.00 ERA and it would still be considered a successful season.

I completely disagree with you that an inferior pitcher should be in the lineup over a superior pitcher

[/ QUOTE ]

also... that a proven, at least serviceable, reliever who can warm up quickly and is versatile should be starting over an aging pitcher who has only pitched sparingly in relief during his career and probably takes a hell of a lot longer to warm up

Not to mention I hate having a knuckleballer in the bullpen. Just the thought of it gives me nightmarish flashbacks of 2003. I hate you Grady Little. I hate you.

Also, if Okajima starts to crap the bed, make Lopez the SU guy!

I will be pissed if he gets sent down again. I realize it's probably inevitable with Timlin coming back (they can't send Pineiro or Romero down, correct?), but he's been really good so far.

Well my suggestion to keep Taveras in the starting rotation over Wakefield when Lester is ready is looking better and better.

Face reality NT, Tavarez has fewer losses, fewer hits allowed, fewer walks allowed. I mean he's the clear choice.

rofl nh

My opinion on Taveras or Wakefield should be obvious, and I'm not going to expand on that.

As for Papelbon and Okajima, Papelbon is a legitimate ace closer. Okajima will cool off significantly, but is still rather nice. I would hardly worry.

Don't confuse "Not invincible" with "not reliable".

WTF was up with HorrayRod's cheap shot on Pedroia?

[/ QUOTE ]

He's a scumbag, showing his true colors. We've seen this before.

I look forward to Schilling putting one between the numbers on aRod's back tomorrow.

waaaaaay more likely it would be donnelly or somebody else coming into the game later on.

i would love to see him get hit though, that was such a douche move. i'm all for sliding hard, etc, but that was way over the line.
