"Westbrook isn’t as sharp tonight." Better lucky than good, Cleveland is very lucky to be down only 3.

Francoma screwed up in inning 2 by not running Ellsbury. Martinez can’t throw him out and a ball hit by Lugo gets Tek home. Instead we get the DP.
Francona doesn’t use the team speed properly in my book.

That Japanese pitcher whose name I can’t pronounce is doing a good job tonight so far. Meanwhile the Boston offense is scoring a run an inning. So far so good.

Dice-K cant be nibbling. He has to remain confident in his stuff and hit the spots that Varitek gives him.

"I'm nervous as heck watching this game... we need MORE runs." About 10 more, I'm always nervous watching the sox.
Haffner crushed that ball, I hope it's not a vision of things to come.
