Best 8th/9th inning combo in baseball

[YankeesSuck]

Okajima and Papelbon are pretty hard to go against, but some other teams set up man and closer is doing just as good. Who does everyone like?

Edit: This is for who is the best as of now. And I should of added a other option. Just post if you think another teams is better.

Neshek and Nathan are pretty good right now, but there is no doubt that is Okajima and Papelbon.

I voted for Okajima and Papelbon. I am a big fan of Papelbon even though I should really be hating. Okajima being asian is by default a fan of mine...

I think Neshek isn't good enough to win though as Nathan is lights out and is the best closer out there.

I would vote Neshek and Nathan. Been doing it longer.

Broxton and Saito can get an honorable mention.

Yeah it might be linebrink, I think they switch up like Seattle I dont think they have a main set up man. I should of put Zumaya/Jones on there. Detroit got one of the best teams.

I like Sanchez/Wagner more. Jones always seems to get by the hairs of his chin half the time.

hands down coco and turnbow

brewers lead the league in saves and turnbow was an all star last year when he was the closer for the crew

for all you sox fans who don't get a chance to see never much nl play ill put it in language u understand:

the brew crew was some wicked nasty stuff

Edit: oh yea i forgot cordeo was also an all star this year

[MagnavoxMan]

Tribe's Betancourt/Borowski is pretty nice.

[Shymega]

I'll take Shields and Rodriguez. Experience is the key factor here.

[DontBottaMe13]

i voted shields and k-rod definately

[gatorpatric0]

I voted for Tom Gordon and Mariano Rivera. What year is it again?

[poopchow]

Tribe's Betancourt/Borowski is pretty nice.

What's Borowski's era? Yea it sucks. He gets saves but he really needs to stop fucking around.

[Shymega]

Another good combo is, the Tiger's one.

Joel Zumaya and Todd Jones. I know Zumaya is hurt, but this guy can reach 101 MPH, and Jones has been only ok this season era wise(he's been real good his past 5-6 oppurtunities, though) but he is solid when it counts. He still does have something like 25-26 saves still.

[piggyman18]

Scot Shields blows dick.

I also thought this for some reason would be like, best 8th/9th inning in a game, for which the Mariners-Indians Sunday night primetime game (or was it Monday night?) in 2001, the Indians came back from down 14-2 in the 7th to tie it in the 9th and win it in the 10th or 11th. That was my first experience with the wonderful thing we all know as the orgasm.
