who
Who's the fukcing closer? Francona brings Foulke in in the 7th but relieves him with Timlin who serves one up. Yeah I pissed about the dinger but what's the thought process here?
I thought Timlin was the closer now. Bring him in in the 7th? I don't get it.

But it will be interesting to see how this move is taken in the clubhouse and the media, especially since it backfired. People in Boston, and maybe on the team as well, are pretty attached to the idea of a closer. I do wonder if this is going to be the strategy for bullpen use in the playoffs if we make it there.

I think that was due to the quality of the pitchers rather than the system itself. [/ QUOTE ] Not really. Once they acquired BK and made him the closer and then asigned regular roles to Timlin, Embry and the rest they all pitched much better. They need roles.

Re: who
I'm looking at the box score. wow.
the sox are 2 strong relief pitchers short (if schilling is 85%+) of being the best team by a mile. as it stands, theyre not much better than any of the AL playoff hopefuls.
