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.

"They’ll pull him after he gives up a 3 run homer."

What the heck is Francona doing, hatching an egg in the dugout?

He has his entire pitching staff available (sans Schilling) and he just sits there?

I’ll take 5 innings and 2 runs from DiceK. Now the rest of the pen has to hold the line.

“Ch 7 News on CW 56” just showed the factory in Chinatown
where Red Sox AL Champion T-shirts will be printed,
right after the last out. They showed one shirt as a sample
but generally the presses won’t roll till game ends.
