Remember who Lester beat when he pitched his first game this year? ;)
I know, because he was in my fantasy lineup that week.
MLB Playoffs 2007
I don't know which pitcher he beat, I just know it was Cleveland. He struck out Sizemore with the bases loaded in the 4th I believe and cruised from there.
Manny's being Manny again tonight.
What the hell was that display of Papelbon they just showed? That was THE ABSOLUTE MOST GHEY THING I HAVE EVER SEEN - and this was after he did the YMCA dance.

We need a lot more than Beckett to avoid being "toast"
Beckett is a total fucking monster.
how good is he? seems immeasurable.
but the real thing i take away….
Pedroia and Youkilis, in on the hitting. screw 7-8-9 hitters, if we can hit 1-5 or 1-6 we're gonna do OK.
I know Schilling was so-so in Game 2, but historically, I'd rather have Schil than Carmona on the mound for my team in Game 6.
unless we can find a way to clone Beckett sometime tomorrow evening.
just happy to still be playing (sorry, Rhett, i meant "watching")

Mark from Philly offers an inspiring defense for Manny's home run preening: "When Manny went deep, my first thought was, 'Quit posing, Manny, we're still down 7-3.' Then it dawned on me that Manny probably had no idea what the score was. In fact, he probably isn't aware that baseball games are determined by which team scores more runs. Manny's only point of differentiation comes when, after hitting a home run, he sees his teammates waiting for him at home plate – it's at that point he knows it's time to go to the strip club."
Saco, you just gave me a bad case of deja vu…

Beckett was stellar. I was surprised that Beavis Buck and Butthead McCarver were smart enough to mention in the 6th inning that, with Beckett going strong, the Indians were in trouble since they wouldn't have a chance to feast upon the weak Boston relief corps, ex Papelbon of course. Sure enough, Beckett goes 8 innings, and then directly to Papelbon. Game over. Congrats to Beckett on outdueling CC again and to Francona for (a) leaving Beckett in and (b) treating it like an actual save opportunity. No Gagne again this postseason except "getting-blown-out-in-the-5th" relief work.
Game 6 = Curt Schilling vs Fausto Carmona. I had both on my fantasy baseball team this year, so I've watched them pretty closely all season. Both are lights-out when they're on, and both can survive less-than-ideal nights. Schilling has the post-season aura, and going back to Fenway helps, but I just have a feeling that Schill's gonna struggle and Fausto's gonna be the real ace for Cleveland.

I wonder if Schilling is going to pull his fake bloody foot routine again.
I assume Dice-K would pitch Game 7? I'd like to see what happens with that.

The Red Sox had better not come back and win this series. I couldn't deal with their fans if that happened. They're obnoxious enough already.
Right now I'm feeling a 6-2 Tribe victory with Schill not lasting 5. I'll let you know if that changes after a deeper look at the matchup.
