What they really should do is put the winning catch in the Pats game and Ortiz's home run side by side. That could make it a collectors item for Boston sports fans.
But in baseball, defence = pitching + fielding, or runs allowed. The Tigers did allow fewer runs than we did this year, but we scored more and had a bigger differential.
I'll take Red Sox in 6 as well, and I'm not super confident either. It's rare that I am confident in a sports prediction, unless it's an obvious blowout.
I think the one guy I'm most worried about is VMart. He has been swinging the bat very well since the ASB. He is a dangerous hitter when he's going good like this.
Oh no, it's the dreaded head-to-head comparisons.
If these things actually meant anything you'd be able to predict the outcome of every series with precision.
Sorry OJ...ranting about the unpredictability of this game is just part of my shtick.
