Papelbon
The Sox are on a role, as they mow down Washington to take a two game lead over the Yanks. With what looks to be a solid lefty in Jon Lester, which is just what the Sox need in the lineup, given the recent woes of David Wells, things are looking up. However, a key, if not the key, to this season's strong start has to be rookie closer, Jonathan Papelbon. This guy is incredible. Bill Simmons marvals at the kid and explores the dilemma that faces the Sox--closer or starter?--over at espn. Now if I can just afford to get tickets to a game.

Papelbon has been amazing this year. Let's hope he can keep it up. I still don't like this slim lead they have though and the Blue Jays are playing well too, they looked tough last night.
Yeah, the Sox need some solid starting pitching--which they haven't had so far--before the playoffs start.
That's for sure. Schill and Beckett need some help. I've been really disappointed in Clement, he's done absolutely nothing.
