What I don't get is why 'Jima and Papelbon weren't the choice to get the last 9 outs. The last time both of them pitched was on 5/10, for an inning apiece. They can't go 1+ IP each on 3 days rest with a day off tomorrow? So, we cough up another 1-run lead putting inferior relievers into the game, ask Oki to put out the fire again (which he has not been good at this year), and don't use our best reliever in another close game. But, hey, he'll be super rested for that next 3-run lead he protects. Stupid.
