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.

Striking out was OK - it didn’t do any harm - he didn’t hit into a double play.

Left the bases loaded for Dustin, too!

It’s still not okay to bring on Gagne.

Might as well put Gagne out in the 9th at this point.

The rookies did great especially with Papi and Manny not smashing the ball the last two games.

Word just in. Eric Gagne is wrestling free from his bonds. Security has been called. The duct tape is the last hope we have for getting us to the world series.
