Put it this way, if they were to lose Mariano for the rest of the year, you would have to be crazy to think that Joba would be closing games the next day.

As far as the cluchness of ceratin players, I'm done arguing about it now. We will see down the stretch who's worth the dough they get (for the record I think that they are all grossly overpaid, it's a damn game for cryin out loud!). But in my opinion the pitching has been and still is the biggest problem.

I completely agree. When CC was lifted last night it was the perfect time for Joba (if available) and Aceves had no business being in that situation.

The trouble is the GM.. belives that J.C. is a STARTING picture... and untill he changes his thoughts... we will be a starting picture...... All this talk about your third baseman & first baseman..... Big Papi...did hit two HR's in the three games.. Go Sox's !

Over 70 pitches through 3 innings. Mets scored 2 in the 2nd on 3 walks and 2 HBP, not a hit. Not only is Joba hurting the pen by not being out there, now they are probably have to pick him up for about 6 innings.
It's not like he's Steve Carlton, they should put him back in the pen immediatley.
