Note to Cora (I don't know why I even bother): Just because the sticker on Holt says utility player doesn't mean he can't play more than one game in a row. Btw, is this your idea or DD's?
Well, at least I'll be getting tonight's game on NESN. Xtra innings on certain days, based on the schedule, gives the viewer the choice of home or away.
Btw, in the SOX's last 3 WS's they have a record of 12-2 against the NL. And since 1997, the year inter league play started, the SOX have the best winning percentage in the AL against the NL. They're also #1 in run differential by a large margin.
We can all speculate on chocking and clutch, but one thing is certain, the SOX own the NL. There's no way to explain this phenomenon other than the fact it's been going on for a long time.
I don't know if it's randomness, but the SOX success rate against NL teams has been unreal for quite a while. Guaranteed, if the SOX reach the WS, they will beat any NL team they face.
