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.

Closing time - time for you to go out, go out into the world.
Closing time - turn the lights up over every boy and every girl.
Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer.
Closing time - you don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.

I know who I want to take me home.

Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from.
Closing time - this room won’t be open ‘til your brothers or you sisters
come.
So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits - I hope you have found
a
friend.
Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning’send.

Yeah, I know who I want to take me home.

I’ll take insurance runs in a Beckett start anyway I can get them. A 3 run margin for Beckett is going to be very tough to overcome.

:-) Very good. Of course, being a country music guy, I thought of:

Turn out the lights, the party's over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night, the party's over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again...

It was a home run.

Yes. I've never see a ball hit the side of a fence go up about 50 ft in the air. A physicist would conclude and Sir Isaac Newton that the ball landed on top of the fence.

McCarver is such a flaming a-hole. The strike 3 call on Manny was a ball. When it shows up on the K-Zone as a ball McCarver says nothing after fluffing Raffy Roid Boy.

Radio guys were adamant.
Home run
It don’t matter
I have envisioned a victory,while pressing my fingers to my temples and blinking my eyes nine times.
that never fails.

It even overcomes the Curse of the Pink Hats

Crisp and Lugo = automatic outs

Is there any way the Sox can concede an ‘intentional out’ when it’s time for them to bat? It might speed up the game.
