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.

Heard on the radio today....Hugo Chavez is rooting for the Indians. Yesterday Vicente Fox was a guest of Jerry Jones at the Cowboys/Pats game. He is a big Cowboys fan.

That’s a Nomar Garciaparra special— swing hard at the first pitch and go deep.

And that was just after McCarver was talking about the Red Sox wanting Dice-K to throw more fastballs.

Moron

The game plan for game 2 was for Shill to throw more offspeed stuff given Cleveland’s penchant for hitting fastballs. Dice-K claims that he learned much from watching that game.

Guess not.

Why isn’t Jacoby Ellsbury playing? Shorty is doing squat in the leadoff position and Crisp is simply a bad hitter who cannot create big plays like Jacoby can.

I'm gonna be absent from posting for awhile. I had to pause the game just as it started due to a call from work. Not sure when I will catch up to y'all.

Go Red Sox!!
