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.

Hopefully Dice-K gets thru this inning. Bring Beckett in for fifth and six.

"Or IS Time to pull him."

Now we have to wait until someone gets warm, then pull him.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Francona push his luck a bit too long.

Time to yank this Dice-K. The Red Sox paid HOW MUCH for him?

That's OK, Eric Wedge does that too.

All of a sudden on the last two batters home plate umpire decides on a smaller strike zone.

Damn, the Power Nibbler is at it again. Dice-K is losing it one inning earlier than usual.

Is Beckett ready yet....? *sigh*

A lot may depend on the Sox run production this inning.
