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.

I took my two kids to a game a couple years ago. Costed me almost $300 for tickets, parking and concessions. Not to mention a couple of sanity-inducing watered down $5 beers.

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

Not until it's a *10* run lead.

Man, Yuke hit the Coke bottle...

It happens....well 4 of the last six times the Sox were down 3-1 (including 3-0 in 2004) they have come back to win.

I’m on my 5th Coke. A beer now would give me a bigger smile.

Gagne doesn’t deserve to be out there for the final out. Send in Timlin.

I used to take the “T” for a nickel each way, buy a 75 cent bleacher seat and buy a medium coke for 15 cents. I’d bring a sandwich with me. A great deal for a dollar...just to see Ted Williams hit.

Yes we can celebrate

>>The Shawmut Bank Indian

For those not from the area...
What is now the TD BankNorth Garden was to be called
the Shawmut Center of course, and there were various
signs etc. in place. Then the bank got sold (even before
it opened) and it
was renamed the Fleet Center (home of the B’s, the C’s,
and “I’m John Kerry and I’m...Reporting for duty!”)
