Don’t worry about Papelbon

Members of Red Sox Nation should not be freaking out over Jonathan Papelbon’s recent performance against the New York Yankees. Papelbon will be fine. Sure he might have lost the game the other night for the Sox against the bombers, but he is still a great closer who can still help this team. Fans in Boston tend to forget that Papelbon helped lead the Sox to a World Series in 2007. I know that Papelbon has struggled in the past leading back to the 2009 ALDS against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, in which he gave up the lead in the 9th against to allow the Angels to sweep the Sox 3-0, however I would give him an opportunity in my mind he is still a very good young closer who has done more good than bad for the Red Sox.
