Ready to settle scores
A confident Joe Borowski is long past his doubts as he takes over as the Tribe's closer

Joe Borowski can take a punch. His career is a testi mony to it, but even then he isn't the most famous fighter from Bayonne, N.J.
If he's home walking down one side of the street and former heavyweight boxer Chuck Wepner is walking down the other, Borowski's path would be the one less-cluttered.
"If I was walking down the street with Joe Schmo, nobody would recognize me," the Indians closer said.
If you're looking for something to make you feel good about Borowski owning the Indians' closer's job, his 36 saves in Florida last season should help. But if you still want assurance after the retirement of Keith Foulke and after sitting through the ninth-inning torture of 2006, well, at least Borowski doesn't come with the nickname The Bayonne Bleeder.
