Good luck gents and lady
I have a bad feeling about Sonny tonight and Wake is going to have a nice headwind to help him dance. I don’t think you’ll blow us out, but I don’t see us winning this.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Utpon walks on four pitches. Pena goes deep. Longoria goes deep.
Wakefield not looking sharp with the knuckler.

I was thinking to myself.
Well, self, wouldn’t it just suck if after Crawford just reached, Aybar hit a home run. And he did. And it sucked.
I’m getting sick of our pitchers throwing BP* to the Rays hitters. Granted, Longoria, Upton, and Pena are all hitting very well right now, so they deserve credit for crushing mistakes.
*BP: Batting Practice. I wouldn’t mind throwing some Baseball Prospectus at them. Just try hitting our PECOTA in the dirt…

Giving Rays credit
I have not been pleased with some of Tito’s decisions lately but I have to give the Rays credit for what they are doing. That’s only fair. Right now, we sure don’t look like champs but we are a beat-up team in many respects.
I only hope the Phillies win the NL. The worst scenario is having Ramirez, Lowe & Garciaparra laugh in our faces by winning it all.
Then again, we haven’t lost yet! Tonight’s game is still young.

They'll be celebrating but not laughing in our faces.
Realistically, I think if the Rays win this series they’ll win the WS.

Philly is real, so
I think they will put Manny and the other 8 dwarfs to sleep for the winter.
Now what about Francona and his piss poor managerial decision with this Wakefield start? Should he be canned? I mean why leave Wakefield in there as soon as one HR is hit. Better yet, why start him at all in such a big game based on his recent crappy perforemances if you are going to go with Masterson long relief. Why not just start Masterson and give us a chance?? Dah?

I would have announced before the series
Byrd, not Wakefield, as my starter in the fourth game, or gone with Dice-K if I thought he could do it on three days rest. That’s not to say Byrd would have been any good, either, but Wakefield has not been effective since his injury back in August.
Schilling’s season-long injury and Buchholz’s disastrous season hurt us regarding a fourth starter for this series.
Remember back in spring training when it was said we might go with six starters because we were so deep? Wow, that changed in a hurry.

Elsewhere.
(Tries to remember name of our AAA catchers…) George Kottaras has pretty good power and Dusty Brown plays plus defense while being a respectable hitter. If no one else is acquired, we might start spring training with them competing for the job.

Let's talk momentum
With all the injuries resulting in absolutely no offensive prowess, and with Francona virtually telling his team it is over by starting Wakefield, how can you expect anyone on the Sox to feel good now. Because of these factors, the momentum is all with the Rays, so it is and will be very tough for the Sox players that could potentially perform well to get excited enough at this point to get it done.

Casey at the Bat.
I think I know how this one ends.

Great poem/story.
Bad application.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

Two on, one out
3 billion runs to score.

TBS: "the lack of a big hit" by the Sox has played a big role in series lead
Uh, no. The mediocrity or atrociousness of our pitching (combined with great hitting by the Rays) has led directly to this deficit.

Philly has a pretty ardent fanbase.
I don’t know how expansive it is, but Fox probably would get some people there. Lotsa guys around the country are pulling for the Rays, but I don’t know if they’ll be watching.
Maybe we can have a Chicago Cubs – Boston Red Sox ratings extravaganza grudge match. On Pay-Per-View!

Fox's ratings worst nightmare would have been TB vs. The Brew Crew
And I would hope that people want to tune into the World Series regardless of opponents because it’s good baseball.
