He needs to get his slider and/or splitter working consistently again. Amen. Listening to Papelbon talk about his contract in the offseason will be annoying, but he's still the best pitcher in the bullpen hands down (notwithstanding the terrible 0-2 pitch to Aybar). I'd take him in the 9th any day over Bard. If he's a true competitor, he will use this experience to work real hard in the spring to build up his offspeed stuff again. Part of it has to come from Farrell putting the pressure on him to use the offspeed stuff. The offense hit .158 in the series. Other than the Papelbon disaster, the pitching staff pitched well enough to sweep a playoff series.

Most unfeeling team I've seen in years. Too many of those faces in the dugout didn't have any spark or fury like in years past. I for one felt like this was the fatest team we've had in a long time. Too rich, too uncaring. Enjoy your early vacation guys, since that's what so many of you obviously wanted. (Note, it was clear there were exceptions playing their heart out in Pedroia, Youkilis, etc. Just over all, just a lazy, fat, old team. Where's the hunger?) Yeah, and so long to Paps for sure. Have fun in the glue factory.
