I don't really see the need for Koji to go for two. I like the idea of it, the feeling of security it gives me, but Game 2 seems like a bad time to start overworking your closer. Breslow has been, frankly, almost as reliable this postseason.
Wacha at over 100, Lackey at 80. Complain all you want about strikeouts or whatever else, the value of taking pitches regardless of the outcome of an at-bat cannot be ignored.
All of the same people on TV and radio who picked the Tigers in 6 or 7 are now picking the Cardinals in 6 or 7. I give those predictions the same credence I gave the ALCS predictions. To wit, none whatsoever. The Sox are the Sox. Go Sox. Sox in 6.
For 200 dollars you might be able to buy a semi-decent pair of binoculars to watch the game from a rooftop several blocks away. You sure aren't getting a ticket for that price.
I looked up Leyland's bio after I saw a700's post. He's only 68. Holy s***, if that's what smoking does to you, I'm quitting. The man looks like he's pushing the century mark. When my grandfather was 68 he looked about twenty years younger than Leyland.
