WHY??

Okay, look at what I found:

Who do you think has the best shot at being the Red Sox's closer on Opening Day?
-- John H., Norwalk, Conn.

You can pretty much scratch Mike Timlin off the list for Opening Day closer because of his oblique injury. To me, Joel Pineiro has been inconsistent enough with his new arm slot -- he lowered his release point after making the transition from starter to reliever -- where it has probably raised a bit of a red flag. That leaves Julian Tavarez and Brendan Donnelly. I'd give Donnelly an edge because of the way he has thrown the ball and his fiery makeup. Also, I think Tavarez is more valuable being used in various roles. The other thing not to rule out is general manager Theo Epstein making a trade for a closer between now and April 2.

One question: WHY ARE THEY STILL DISCUSSING TAVAREZ AS A CLOSER?!???!

I don't get it! We all know he sucks at the end of the game, and in the middle of the game. The only time he's ever shown any consistency is when he starts games. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG HERE?!??

Sorry. I just had to get that out.
