NOTES: This is the first time since the start of the three division era that the two LCS series have each matched the two best records in their league (96-66). Computer baseball sim Imagine Sports/Diamond Mind Baseball ran the 2007 ALCS 1,000 times, and the Red Sox won 59% of the time. If the Red Sox won game 1, they won the series 72.5% of the time, and if Cleveland won, the Indians won 59% of the time.

Actually I am kinda puzzled by the Rockies...usually expansion teams only make the World Series when they can beat the Yankees. < grin>

Is he in that bad shape (surgery at earliest possible moment), or is that a head fake?

I doubt it's fake, cortisone shots do wonders for pain.
