Up 5-4 in the 8th, who do they bring in? Mr. consistancy himself, that's right folks, JJ. "I wish I wasn't such a Putz" to give up the tying run. Ok, ok, you settle down, game is now tied going into the 9th. Seattle strings together a couple of singles, a groundout, and waamo! 6-5 lead. Oh, but wait, "steady Eddie" is coming in to save the game, Mr. 9.00 ERA (soon to be 12.00 ERA). Strike out, strike out, single, home run to Mark Loretta, BALL Game! Is he the next Ayalya? Let's hope not.

I now have my vote in for "closer by committee" or even Soriano. "Everyday Eddie" is the new "Bobby Ayala".
I agree, it might be time to move Soriano into the closer role. He's obviously recovered from his surgery and doing well. What to do w/ Putz is a whole other story.
It just kills me that they had a chance to beat Boston on Patriot Day in Boston and they blew it, absolutely blew it
