Actually, good closers are fairly common because that's the first role designated to good relievers. Chris Perez is the only crappy closer I can think of.

World Series bound! Cards just rocked it with a shutout 9-0 shutout win. Thanks for coming Dodgers, so many tears from around the baseball nation (espn in particular.) Looking forward to what the World Series brings.

You realize you can't make me angry, right?
Stinks the Cards won, I couldn't be less excited about seeing them there. Would be cool if the Tigers pulled it out though and got a rematch against them.

Yeah it's been a pretty rough non existent thing for us all season. Good thing is, our division is weak enough and we aren't losing anyone that we'll be back next year and hopefully will have some bullpen improvements.

Soo yeah the path I envisioned for the Sox to win this series was must win both the Lester/Sanchez starts, and win the Peavy/Fister match up. Then somehow win 1 game from the remaining Scherzer/Verlander match up. How did the Tigers not win a game from their top two guys. It's a crazy game...

Our bats stopped showing up the last 10 days of the regular season and we've never had a bullpen. Those two things are why it all happened the way it did.
Good luck to you guys in the Series.

Tigers gave us everything we could handle with Miggy beat up, and that Tiger pen was certainly not very good. They get a legit setup guy, and closer... This series would look very different with those pieces in place. As shakey as that pen was i really can't believe Leyland pulled the starter tonight. There was no tomorrow for them.Our bats stopped showing up the last 10 days of the regular season and we've never had a bullpen. Those two things are why it all happened the way it did.

The Tigers had two or three defensive flubs in every game and the bullpen management in game 2 was retarded. That was their series to lose.

Well don't have to worry about that anymore. Leyland is stepping down.

I'd have much rather seen a Cards/Tigers series (actually I'd have liked a Pirates/Tigers series better), because now I'm going to be a homer Cards fan. I just can't with Boston teams. Dunno why, they've done nothing to wrong me, I think I just like seeing smaller market teams doing better than the large market teams.
surprised no one has mentioned game 1 tonite so far.
ortiz got robbed of a grand slam in the 2nd inning. ~2 feet longer and he wouldna caught it over the wall.
Lester is pitching very well. wainwright settled down after the rough start
Red Sox up 5-0 top of the 6th.
