Reply-to:you all obviously know nothing about the sox because he was our best reliever by far last season and thank god pap is gone ..what a jamoke

Paps was one of the best closers in the game this past year if not the best.

He played seven fewer games than Bard and 9 fewer innings and he beat Bard in every category. Just to illustrate - Papelbon - 2.94 ERA and 87 strikeouts. Bard - 3.33 and only 74 strikeouts.

So Bard had a higher ERA and fewer strikeouts and yet played in more games and had more IPs.

Papelbon has been an all star four times and has had three seasons with 30 saves. I think he has the most saves for the team in Red Sox history.

Not sure what rule of thumb you are using to say Bard is the better reliever by far. In general, Red Sox fans are horrified that Papelbon left us for the Phillies.

In 9 days, Bard's ERA has gone from 2.10 to 3.10.

This guy is just awful. How many games has he lost for us in the last 3 weeks alone??? Give me a friggin break!

The Sox better re-sign Papelbon for next year if they want a closer. Bard clearly cannot rise to the occassion.

Daniel Bard SUCKS!!!!

Ya we get it. Everyone gets it. He throws it fast. Maybe if he had some movement he'd get somebody out. You can't throw up top with a straight pitch. Hitters can see it too well. Nobody is surprised by the heat anymore, everyone knows it's coming. Time to get someone in there that can actually pitch.

Bard is better than Papelbon. Remember that Bard is young, and still developing, yet he still is a better closer than Paps. Ozzy Guillien said so.

wow some of you need to post comments with a little more context included? He won't end up like Zumaya, you know, with 100 mph heat going with one of the sicker sliders I've ever seen. YOU guys try hitting that stuff.
