MLB - Will Francisco Rodriguez break the single-season Saves record in 2008?

Settled as Yes

K-Rod broke the record, got #58
http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=280913103

Background:

Francisco Rodriguez is on pace to break former White Sox pitcher Bobby Thigpen's single-season record of 57.
K-Rod, as he is nicknamed, currently has 31 Saves with a little more than half the season still to play.
Can he maintain this pace for remainder of season to become the Single Season Saves Leader? This isn't totally in his hands as he will have to rely on teammates good pitching and offensive production to keep putting him in Save opportunities.
Good article:
