GT: World Series Game II: Electric Boogaloo.
So it all comes down to this. One game. One game for the title.
Wait. Huh? What's that? We didn't win three games in one game last night?
Uh, no [censored] Sherlock. Wait. You say all Red Sox fans have been acting that way?
...no. No. Wrong again. The media who picked the Red Sox have been acting that way. Using words like "defeated" and "demolished" and "way dead" to describe the Rockies. Your average Sox fan doesn't use these words. Heck. Check the general opinion of Sox fans. We're not even supposed to know these words.
I must be leaving for work, but first, Sox lineup.
PedRoYa, 2b
Youks, 1b
Papi, dh
"Being", "lf"
Lowell, 3b
Drew, rf
'Tek, c
Ellsbury, cf
Lugo, ss
Rox lineup is not available at this time. I can only assume either A) Miss Amalie Benjamin has not yet seen it, or B) The Rockies are trying to find a way to sneak Vinny Castilla onto the roster.
[update, by NHREDSOX] Rox Lineup

Rockies' talented rookie Ubaldo Jimenez takes the mound against The Big Schill. Jimenez is tough and has good 'stuff'. The key here will be whether or not he has good control, because he's not immune to allowing walks (37 BB/82 IP).
Schilling, as you may have heard from the media, has no real pitches at all, and is surving only on words like "guile" and "finesse". His breaking pitches have no movement, and Jason Varitek only has to call one pitch these days: the guilenessball. Or wait. Some of that might not be correct.
Pre-game reading material: A gem from FJM.
Go Sox. Win.

Guile and finesse can win the World Series. And I'd take them over Rick Vaughn without glasses any day.

Re: GT: World Series Game II: Electric Boogaloo.
Hoyt Wilhelm.
Wilbur Wood.
Whitey Ford.
Just a few names that conjure up "guile and finesse" among the pitching greats of the Major Leagues.
Seems to me that puts our man Mr. Schilling in excellent company.

Let's hope ...
I also hope Schilling brings his A-game. A 2-0 lead would give the Sox a huge edge the series, especially with Beckett throwing again in Game 5.

Re: Let's hope ...
That is until we lose one, and I'm not willing to concede that until it actually happens. :)
WRT Jimenez I thought I saw a stat that he'd walked only 2 in 2 starts. Note: I could be out of my mind since I tend to ignore the NL until WS time.

Re: GT: World Series Game II: Electric Boogaloo.
Now THAT is funny, thank you for making my morning.
So our 17 hit, 8 walk, 13 run lineup is facing a rookie with a tendency to walk hitters(and impatient NL hitters at that)?
Hmmm, as someone pointed out above, we've tended to make the average guys look great(see Westbrook Byrd), however this time, I don't think so. Logic suggests we should pound the kid out of the game by the 5th. Of course is Schilling doesn't bring his best "guilenessball" then it could be a slugfest.

Re: Game #2 Simulation
Oddly enough, and for once in my life, I'm inclined to agree with Joe. I think it can be demoralizing to such a young team and if we keep our foot on their throat this thing will be done in 5 games.
Seriously they couldn't even get inspired by the sight of Gagme on the mound to pound out a few runs and make it look more respectable.

Re: GT: World Series Game II: Electric Boogaloo.
That's Schills problem these days isn't it? He has trouble getting that K when he really needs it. He no longer has an effective out pitch. Personally if we win this thing the club should strongly suggest that he retire.
