Onto Game 3 in St. Louis... No DH, don't forget, which doesn't favor the Red Sox. Big Papi supposedly will play first base, which leaves Napoli on the bench.

John Farrell hinted during his post-game interview tonight that he will replace Jonny Gomes in left field with Daniel Nava. Hopefully Nava's bat has woken up.

Hope Jake Peavy's stuff on Saturday is better than what we saw during his last disastrous start. In his younger days, I think Peavy was a decent hitter in the NL. I don't know how good his hitting is these days...

And who the hell knows what's going on with the forever-injured Clay Buchholz?? Will he start Game 4 for sure? If he starts, will it be a disaster and/or how long will he last? What specifically is his injury du jour, anyway??

I'm reverting to my long-time Red Sox fan pessimism, can you tell?
