Where the F is Paplebon?

Up a run and man on first in the ninth. Hope he is not hurt. He is in the bullpen. Bring him the F in.

JC Romero got the much needed double play. Ballgame. Manny hits two BOMBS.

Dubpoet is happy as that sick bastard has a 21,000 parlay live and kicking. Serious.

Terry is a genious, thats what.

He knows that for paps to be 100% effective he needs to be on complete rest.

What a freakn game by Manny. And nice to know Donelly and Romero can step in and be that effective.

Remember last year he wore down...they can't overextend him, he wasn't right last time out either.

Manny is by far the best off speed hitter in the game...Horacio Ramirez is the absolute perfect matchup for Manny. Luvs to sit on that curve ball.

It kind of pisses me off that he is so fickle. But damn if that 98 mph fast ball isnt unhittable, I dont know what is.

I agree. He needs rest to have that blazing fastball and to be sharp. But why put him in the bullpen if you are not going to bring him in with a serious close situation? Tell him to rest and let him stay in the dugout.

No harm no foul. Big win as they all are.

I tell you what...Paps has NOT been overused. It is very very early and he is showing signs of fatigue. They have been very careful with him in the pitch counts and his appearances. We need him BAD.

Yeah, I dont understand it. It kind of bothers me.

TB #1, youre not going to rag on Crisp anymore?

His defense has been awesome!

That grab against the A's was rediculous.

That is why he had the arm problems last year. Scary. Also Dice k getting hammered is not exactly nice to watch. But nothing like winning to cure any bad feelings. Manny getting warm.....Crisp playing better, Bullpen has nice depth (best ERA in baseball)...Cora has been huge.....
