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 expect Ellsbury to make an impact tonight, here's to hoping Dice K can prove his worth.
I hear Wakefield is unavailable, hopefully we won't need Beckett at all.
Go Sox!!!

The Indians only hope tonight is if a swarm of midges blows into Fenway from Boston Harbor.

"Wake is going to throw a side now," he said. "Just because of what he's gone through pitching, I think we felt like it was in his best interest -- and we're not trying to put the cart before the horse, but getting him up quickly won't work. I think we're all hopeful that we'll have more baseball to play, and that's our best way to go about it." -- Tito

I hadn't thought it all day, but I just realized that this could be a very exciting game.
I'll go out on a limb and make a prediction:
The difference in the game will be made by a rookie.

He presented a convincing denial but I am curious as to who wrote him the scrip. News has it as a dentist which if true is extremely questionable. He seemed genuine though so I hope it works out in his favor.

"My Dad was a sporwriter in Boston when I was born and this guy was his best friend and was my God father." How lucky are you? great pitcher the Sox burned out Loki they did Jim Lonborg.

You sure do meet interesting people on FR. I always enjoyed when Radatz was on WEEI as most people did. He sure seemed like a great guy.
