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.

So, any feedback expected from the Bimbo Anthem?
Maybe shaunessy could write abook about it
“The curse of the B...Bimbo”
I think a PR guy probably pulled that, a way to get some lurid
pr?
I doubt the Indians would go for that if they knew what was up.
Why give the opponabt reason to get up and clock you?
Plus, it will be talked about everywhere, just bad form.
I really think someonesnookered the Indians on that.

I just do not trust Hollywood types at all.
But that is a potentially real “conspiracy”

Hope becket mentions it

RED SOX, you are the only only only

We're still alive! Who'd a thunk it?

Beckett was beyond amazing tonight. I think Dennis Eckersley just referred to him as "Pedro-esque".

Onto Game 6 at Fenway on Saturday...

No, not an Indian guy,
Someone associated with the singer got it done.
The originally scheduled singer was pulled.
Thier client put in there,and they got the info out there that they were a unit,and quote “it ended badly”.

It had to bug becket, and honestly, it had to have been talked about in the clubhouse,and have rubbed people the wrong way.

I don’t think the Indians would knowingly go any where near this.
Although, if they get blamed for it i would be okay with that.
As long as it becomes a distraction for Game six and Seven,

The curse of the b..bimbo.

I missed it, but Becket evidently mentioned it, and being torqued may have slipped an F bomb.
That should get it on ESPN all day friday.

This could work out.
It really is a scummy thing to do.
“Poor broken hearted Red Sox Hero pitcher great guy pitches game of his life after having his heart crushed by heartless meany Indians”

That headline might be a little long. Heh.

Just a follow up on the discussion of Cleveland bringing in Beckett's ex girlfriend to sing the anthem. Beckett was awesome. I should have added the tag.

Did you see the incident with Beckett and Lofton that emptied both dugouts? Fortunately the umps had it under control

Best line of the day.

And speaking of senseless surrender... does anyone suck more than Coco Crisp right now?:
