    Automate the balls and strike calling already! Short of that, at least implement a challenge system. It works great in tennis and cricket.

    True but AGon doesn't just make routine plays at 1B. There's a reason why Ortiz is a DH after all. 1B is more important than RF too. AGon seems generally competent to make routine plays in RF, especially with some practice. Part of the reason they tried it earlier was to get Ortiz some playing time during that long interleague road trip. That wouldn't really apply for a world series. Still, if the form of the players warrants it, I'm fine with AGon in RF.

    No one caught Remy calling Mike Lowell arrogant? Also, Bard is awesome!

    I voted [x] Fred Couples --- the J.D. Drew of golf. A bit frail and overpaid perhaps but with such a beautiful, effortless swing.

    Dice-K! Good to see him pitch well! It felt like he pitched at a bit slower pace compared to his other starts this year? Did they try to make him pitch at a faster pace the first games but decided to go back to his old pace in this one? I don't like slow pitching but I'll take this start anytime. Hopefully he has settled in now. It must have been his highest strikes to balls ratio in a long time too?

    asdfasdf Will this remove the annoying banner urging me to post? (I'm mostly glancing through game threads here when watching recorded games.)

    For reading the op-ed and wondering if there are any statistics backing it up after all?

    Regarding Ellsbury and the leadoff spot, Glanville has an op-ed in today's New York Times discussing leadoff hitting in general and Ellsbury and Red Sox in particular, in case anyone is interested. nytimes.com/2009/09/21/opinion/21glanville-leadoff.html Glanville argues that there is more to hitting first than OBP. Specifically, he suggests that Ellsbury's speed and what not induces errors, fielder's choices and poorer pitching that aren't directly credited to Ellsbury's stats. Are there any attempts trying to measure this threat effect? For example, how much, if any, does the likelihood of a homerun increase when Ellsbury is on first base compared to when he isn't? Or compared to say Drew?
