Dennis Eckersley had a lot of saves in his career. He should have saved two choice words from this broadcast.

Cool Stat on Paps
from a.j. lavinius
Jonathan Papelbon recorded a rare "super-save" last night, striking out three consecutive batters to end the game with the tying run at third base. It was the first such save in 20 years and only the fifth since the save rule was instituted in 1969.
The batters who fanned against Papelbon were Carlos Pena, B.J. Upton, and Carl Crawford, who have batted in the same inning 422 times. This was only the sixth time that all three struck out.
