Papelbon broke his perfect "save per save opportunities" record! What are your comments about this?

I think that Papelbon is having a great season as it is. Does it matter if he keeps up with all these records? As long as he gets saves, I think the fans and his managers will be happy.

Hopefully he won't blow a lot of saves this season, but he is on pace for 55 brilliant saves by the year's end. If he continues these kinds of streaks, those numbers are in his reach.

Definite rookie of the year!
