Picking his poison »

Bronson Arroyo, who made 32 starts this season, is the odd man out of the Red Sox' rotation for at least the first round of the playoffs.
Arroyo, though, has no complaints.
``During the regular season, you want to be a starter and it would bother you to be sent to the bullpen,'' said Arroyo. ``But in the playoffs, it's a totally different vibe. If it meant being the bat boy to be part of the playoffs I'd do it. This is fun.
``It's different physically and mentally pitching out of the 'pen, but it's not as if it's a new experience for me,'' said Arroyo, who pitched in relief in the postseason in 2003 and 2004.
Not that participating in the postseason is getting old for Arroyo, who has gone 3 for 3 with the Red Sox.
``When you're home watching it on TV it makes you sick to your stomach (not being part of it),'' said Arroyo.
