In the spirit of keeping things loose, can someone PLEASE comment on Wade Boggs's sweater? Seriously, I think he raided my closet from third grade picture day. That thing is priceless 1988.

Thank you Joe Torre for starting a rookie in game 1. One more win for at least a one game playoff, 2 more for the division.

Actually, if the Sox take 2 out of 3 from the MFY, and the White Sox win their series against the Indians, we don't get a playoff because the MFY owns the head-to-head tiebreaker.

I'm assuming the Indians can win two against the White Sox B-Team, even though they lost tonight.

Boston has to get the Randy early like last night I want the lead...I dont wanna see Gordan or Mo in their at all. and Timmy has to give at least 7 innings, goddamn bullpen!.

I think Wakefield will take care of 'bidness, though a little chip shot home run into the Monster seats is always a concern.

Scoring runs off the Big Eunuch seems like the more difficult task. He's going to be throwing smoke again, and getting a ****load of K's. IMO, Ortiz is the only one who might, MIGHT get a big hit off him. Other than that, I have no faith in anybody else in the lineup to get it done.

Of all the Red Sox pitchers of the last 6 years... Wakefield is the one that I've dreaded facing the most in a big game (other than Pedro circa 1999)


The Yankees for some reason cannot hit him. After Sheffield faces him it seems like his swing is off for a few days. Cano is a hitter who should have trouble with him... Sierra should and Flaherty should. The only guys patient enough to hit him is Matsui, Jeter, A-Rod, and Giambi... and we need a ton of runs tonight. My body can't handle a tight game today so I want the Yankees to blow you guys out.

So glad the rainout moved it to Wake-Unit and Schil-Moose.
