That game last night was some of the piss poorest management I have seen in a game since I don't know when!!!!!
When the Sox had the 5-3 lead in the eighth inning......if they wanted to win the game so bad why not just bring Papelbon in to finish instead of bringing Timlin in????
They needed to win that game last night so why are they saving Papelbon for Monday????
Then after Timlin starts to show cracks Francona decides to bring Papelbon in only after the bases are loaded.....that was smart.....like he realized he had made a mistake and was trying to bail himself out of it....but it was too late! Then they have 2 men on in the ninth, no outs and he has....who was it Yuke bunt????
That was a waste!! I would have had them swinging away.....just a hit would have iced the game at that point!!! Then he pinch hits for Kapler with the bases loaded and puts in that new guy Henzinger????? Brilliant move....idiot!!!
I fear they are done....their pitching is way too suspect to make any noise late in the season!!! What a pitiful weekend!
