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.

Stolen base!

Way to take the bat out of the hands of your best hitter.

Out of the inning unscathed. Time for walk-off magic.

No, Carmona is the goat. Cleveland needed him to pitch like he did against the Yanks.

Okay, I'm finally here. My sister's birthday party lasted way longer than I anticipated. The wife drank too much wine and I had to stop three times on the way home for her to barf.

Nice huh? Maybe I'll bring some good luck.

Go Sox!!!
