I think so too. You don't leave a pitcher with his talent in the bullpen, and you don't pay Foulke $6.5 mil/year to be a middle reliever.

I'm not ready to give up on Foulke either. I think he can get it back, since he's basically a command pitcher. I don't know if he can get it back this season, but I'd expect him to come into spring training ready to take back that closer's position for at least another season, with Hanson taking over either during the season (if Foulke goes down, kinda like how the Dotel-Street thing worked out in Oakland) or the following year.

Let's get it started Matty! How does 4.5 games sound boys?

1. T. Graffanino, 2B
2. E. Renteria, SS
3. D. Ortiz, DH
4. M. Ramirez, LF
5. J. Varitek, C
6. K. Millar, RF
7. K. Youkilis, 1B
8. B. Mueller, 3B
9. G. Kapler, CF
*10. M. Clement, P

Well, make that 2.5.

Gross!

If the Jays can come back from being down 5-0, so can the Sox.

I don't even care about him, it's Zaun I hate.

I. CANNOT. ****ING. STAND HIM.

He looks like the biggest piece of white trash ever to grace god's green earth. Even when the Jays play the Yankees I hope he does terrible. I seriously hate him with the a burning of 1,000 firey suns.

No, because that would make too much sense.

5-1

Let the comeback begin!

Gabe Gross went to Auburn and actually started a few football games at QB for AU a few years ago.
