Didn't Thornton lose it to Sale, who lost it to Santos who never looked back?
Judging by his game logs:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...&t=p&year=2011
all of the saves and GF's appear to show that he took over as closer in late April and never really lost it.
Sale had a couple of 2 inning saves late

Thornton got the chance early and blew 4 straight saves. He ended with 3 on the year, one in the 10th and two 2 inning saves.
For someone who listens to a lot of Sox games, you seem to be not picking up on things....maybe some you jammed the Q-Tip in too far.
