Game One Tonight !!!
I don't know how I'm supposed to do work today with the first game of the ALCS tonight. Here's the rundown of the series (between the Cleveland Indians and our beloved Red Sox - in case you've been living under a rock ...), courtesy of Yahoo Sports :
It's key that we win our home games tonight and tomorrow ... that means putting up some serious runs against the Indians stingy pitching (both their starters and relief pitchers). Something to consider: Today's New York Times Sports section had an excellent article by Jack Curry about Big Papi and his use of a computer program that replays every pitch he's seen ever against the opposing pitcher ... & because he's the designated hitter, he can review pitches from the digout while the team is out in the field. I think, however, that the key to this series and the postseason in general has been & will continue to be Manny Ramirez. If he can hit .350 or better (esp. with men on base), and field the ball adequitely, I think we'l be a shoe-in.
p.s. If you go the designated hitter wikipedia page (linked above), the picture is of David Ortiz ... how cool is that?
