Jonathan Papelbon has not been a sure thing for the Boston Red Sox this season.
Papelbon gave up three runs in the top of the ninth and the Oakland Athletics collected 21 hits to come-from-behind to beat the Red Sox last night.
Boston scored three runs in the fifth inning but couldn't hold onto the lead. Adam Kennedy led the A's offense going 5-for-7 on the night with three RBI.
Goat of the Game - Papelbon
Paps got rocked around in the top of the ninth against the A's for his third blown save of the season.
Next Game - 7/29 vs. Oakland Athletics - Brett Anderson/Brad Penny

Okay, that's a little harsh. Because The Bot has only blown three saves this season. And Candlebox really, really sucks.But, if nothing else, last night’s ass fest at Fenway accomplished two things: First, it triggered the Daniel Bard no-trade clause, because if Papelbon’s ninth-inning impersonations of Heathcliff Slocumb are going to start occurring with greater regularity...

In his last appearance against the Oakland A’s, July 8, he entered with a two-run lead, surrendered one run and put the winning run on base before striking out Jack Cust to end the game.

After Clay Buchholz gave the Boston Red Sox a serviceable outing last night, the bullpen, which had been perfect since the All-Star break, decided to do a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde impression last night.
While the total blame can’t fall on Jonathan Papelbon and Nick Green, it was Papelbon’s control issues and Green’s throwing errors [...]
