More concerned about not having to face Detroit in the 1st round than anything else. Catching the Tigers in the first round is going to be a sucky break for somebody. In fact it would suck for baseball to have Detroit and Boston meet in the division round. Would rather those two teams face each other in a seven game series if anywhere. Myself I am not as much concerned with where the games are played as avoiding Detroit in a five game series. In fact, Detroit might be a better Fenway team than the Red Sox. Conversely, the Sox could well be a better Comerica Park club than Detroit.

We were lucky that we missed Miggy in two of the games a few weeks ago. With him playing, they are a dangerous team indeed.

No, Tillman owns the Sox. 4-1 in the past 5, 3-0 this year, blah, blah, blah. I just remember watching Sox bats flail against him. They lose or it is a big upset.

That Horse looks like Lackey.

 

That horse-faced beast is Teixeira having walked into that hole and unable to figure out how to turn around and walk back out again. He is left standing there forlornly peering out..hoping that he does not take a line drive off his stupid lunk-head. I realize that references to Teixeira are insults to that horse and to horses generally. Unfortunately for the horse, this is serious business and as Alex Karras said in Blazing Saddles, "Mongo only pawn in game of life". Teixeira is an adequate representative and stand in for any opponent. Tonight he gets to represent these f***ing O's and will hopefully infect the Os with his horse-faced, lunkheaded-ness forcing all kinds of errors in the field, at the plate and from the mound.....Result.... a Sox win which has usually been the case when sewer horse makes an appearance.

You really took the joke and ran it into the ground. One could say that you are beating a dead horse.
