I think game 5 is always the most pivotal game. I expect a better performance from Wainwright, but on the other side of things, the more the Sox hitters see these pitchers, the better they should perform. It will be interesting to see if the upms look in Lester's glove tonight for something other than rosin. :pepper2: |
How about some strange endings to games this year. Three of the four games ended with bizarre plays.
The thing about this series is that every game has been pivotal. T When the Sox won game 1 it gave them a huge advantage. It meant that they only had to win three game with three in Boston and three in St Louis. Then when they lost the second game, it meant that St Louis only had to win three games with three at home and without a DH. Then when the Cards won game three I thought it was pretty much all over unless the Sox could win game four. Now that they've won game four it's three game series with two games in Boston and Ortiz and Napoli in the lineup together. The only downside for the Sox now is that their pitching rotation is a mess. I still cannot fathom what Farrell was thinking bringing in Lackey when Tazawa looked so good. Lackey hasn't pitched out of the bullpen for a long time and came very close to throwing the game away. They have a great formula with Tazawa in the eighth and Uehara in the ninth. I see no reason why they couldn't get four or five our each from Tazawa and Uehara if necessary. Can anyone explain why Lackey was brought in? Is he going to be able to start game 6 as a result of this and is he does, will his pitch count be limited? |
Sox have been their own worst enemy. Throwing the ball around like a bunch of Little League ball players. I know---easy for me to say!

I suspect Lackey will be fine for game 6 since yesterday was his day to throw on the side anyway. And don't be suprised if it goes to game 7 you will see some of Buchholtz too. GO SOX! -KB |

Actually I don't think the starters are in shambles at all. Lester goes on normal rest tonight and the same with Lackey (Wed) and Peavy (Thurs). Bucholtz will be available for a few innings on Thurs. |

Didn't Fenway celebrate its 100th birthday this year? How cool would that be to win the Series there.:pepper2:

I cannot remember anyone having a Series like Papi is having. You can probably guess how much it pains me (as a Yankee fan) to say this, but the Red Sox seem to have a "we will not be beaten" attitude about them. I like it!

Is there any place to watch the world series w/ red sox fans in the villages ?

Can someone explain to me the logic behind taking the 3-0 pitch but the 3-1 count is considered the hitter's count? I know that baseball people have all the odds figured out, but when are they going to get a better pitch to hit than on 3-0 and why does that suddenly change when they get another ball on them?
