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.

Pronk means "Half project half donkey." Play-by-play man swings and misses.

Relax...Should be plenty of fireworks on both sides with a strong wind blowing out to right field.

We Mets fans had to suffer through Timmy Mac for two decades.

God bless you. He is insufferable. How on earth does he keep his job?

Who's the weakest hitter in that lineup? Crisp? Varitek?

Home run by Travis Hafner (aka “Lord of the Flies” after Game 2).

Again, he had a corpse as his broadcasting partner.

In '86, the Mets had Kiner, McCarver and Steve Zabriskie, the latter of whom was actually quite intelligent.

Doesn’t “Youkilis” sound like something they should put in breath mints?

Isn't Youkilis the artificial sweetener in CoCo Crisp?
