If you can't deal with the media, you aren't mentally tough to succeed in the playoffs.
Someone on here once said that all the mentally soft guys were weeded out in MiLB.

Another really bizarre Red Sox offense fact, unlike the norm in baseball, the more times through the lineup vs a starter the worse they hit.
If they don't score early, go to bed.

1 Trot Nixon CF
2 Mike Lansing SS
3 Israel Alcantara LF
4 Manny Ramirez DH
5 Dante Bichette RF
6 Brian Daubach 1B
7 Shea Hillenbrand 3B
8 Lou Merloni 2B
9 Joe Oliver C
David Cone P

This was a near perfect game for Mike Mussina. Carl Everett pinch hit and got the only hit with only 1 out to go.
Manny was the DH. Mike Lansing started at SS.
