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.

I contacted Dropkick Murphys awhile back to see if I could purchase the sheet music, but its not available..I got the impression they didn’t wrote it down..LOL...I had my wife decipher the chords for the song on the piano a couple of weeks ago, so now I can play it strumming the chords. Its become a ritual at game time *wink*.
