Wow. That is all I can say about last nights game. Wow. I still can't believe that the Indians won 94 games last year with
Danny Kolb JOE BOROWSKI as a closer. He has already given up 3 home runs this year, blown 3 saves and kicked Chief Wahoo in the balls. The pitch that Man-Ram (god that sounds so homosexual) hit his game winning home run off of last night was 83 "miles per hour", and was looked so hittable I think I could have drilled it (probably not). 83 MPH!. That is dangerously close to speed of Tim Wakefield's "fastball" (only difference is Borowski doesn't have anything resembling a second pitch). Josh Beckett's changeup is 88mph. Borowski sucks...big time. Watching this guy pitch really makes me appreciate when Papelbon comes trotting out of the bullpen. At least Boston fans know that 49 out of 50 times our closer won't be serving up batting practice in the 9th inning.

Yeah... Technically you can put anybody in at closer... Remember closer by committee back in '03 bad move...
The percentages are in your favor that you are going to win the game when leading in the ninth...
I would like the statistics on Blown Saves/ Save Chances for the past 10 years. Dubb can you hook that up?
