See.... if Papelbon is going to end up throwing 2 innings (hopefully)... why not bring him in at the beginning of the inning.

Or, more to the point, WHY CAN'T ANYONE ELSE GET ANY OUTS?

"We gave 'em the friggin game"

-Jim Mora rant, 11/01.

Except this time the manager did it.

Im sorry, Im sure Francona is a nice guy and all but he really is an iffy manager when it comes to decisions

Uhh we DFA'd Seanez to bring up the left handed version of Nuke Laloosh without the fastball? When's he giong to hit the mascot?

Just want a good night's sleep without drugs- - big ****in surprise a walk- tito is an idiot
2 batters with the highest OBP in the world comin up and a guy who cant pitch

This is too much.

Terry Francona needs to be f%^&ing fired.

Hey, we go to Papelbon for 6 outs.

WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE ****ing DONE THAT 3 BATTERS AGO?!?!

I don't understand - why should Tito bring in Papelbon to face Giambi?

This would be a 6 out save, who will we go to tomorrow if we have a lead late? (Sarcasm)

I try to never second guess (or first guess) the manager, but Tito deserves all the heat directed at him for this one.

1. The game's not over. And we still have the lead.

2. He would look like a genius if Timlin could get the first two out and Javier could deal with Abreu. Blame the players too.

To rest Papelbon if possible.

Maybe we can sign David Riske in the offseason and pretend that trade never happened

That is the key point here. You just cannot have a one-man bullpen. That said, I plan to join the Francona nut kicking brigade.

IF hit, HBP, BB. Great job.

Now he brings Paps in with no out and the bases loaded.

If Paps saves this one they should put up a statue to him in Kenmore Square.

Edit: oops

Trying to save paps for tomorrow - there may not be a tomorrow- tito looks stupid -

This is ****ing absurd. Anyone who ever defended Tito, show yourselves and admit that he is one of the worst in game managers there is.

I still contest that Timlin hitting Jeter on the fingers will have at least a minor impact on his hitting for the next few games.

I can't remember seeing more relief appearances where our staff can't get 1 out.

I'd say this Paps appearance is the season on the line. If the season is over, I'd rather lose it with this guy on the mound vs. anyone else.

Fire him. Now.

I stand with my head bowed in shame.

Who do we fire if the bullpen ERA is over 5.00 next year?

Scary thought.

Theres gonna be a tomorrow,just might not be as important

So your defense of Tito is that if that he doesn't realize that Timlin sucks?

Tito had to know this was a must win game.

If Loretta had any semblance of range the Damon would have been out.

Joe Morgan just needs to shut the hell up

Is it time to give Foulke the ball- not right now but starting Monday.

If he gives some Rah-Rah "There's 162 games in the season, you can't win them all" bull shit in the press conference I'm going to flip out.

That swing scared me.

That was about a foot from me turning the game off.

Yeah me too. Good thing this game is in Fenway and not in Yankee Stadium.

Meanwhile, A-Rod jacks off the bat.

Please Please Please DP

I have faith in Paps and faith in AROD getting out.

It was 5 feet from you turning the game off just then.

It's 90 feet now. We need a K.

THAT WAS F'ING BULL SH#$ That pitch was perfect.

Paps fastball is 99, wow

K or DP one is coming


or maybe not, time for Cano to do so

So was Proctor, gun is juiced.

Why can't Beckett get pumped up like this?

Paps has the ax murder face going

Beckett could throw 100 mph and still suck.

PAPS I JUST HAVE ONE THING TO SAY TO YOU STRIKE THIS MOTHER F#$^ER OUT

Strike em out throw em out baby.

Clear the mechanism, Paps.

What's the Papelbon pitch count blow up factor these days?

Tito's almost making Grady Little look good in retrospect right now. Almost.

ONE MORE

WOOOO HOOO

**** YEAH!!!!!!!

SIT DOWN MR. CANO.
