Baseball that counts. I am psyched!

Also, people that spell Jon with an H suck at baseball. BigSlick is predicting that Mr. Lackey doesn't get through 5 innings.

I love the man and I hate the man. Neither of which matters, because that is the greatest sports picture I've ever seen.

I love how even Manny's bat (lower right) appears to be standing there & watching the ball leave the yard.

Hey, fair dinkum, foul dinkum, I don't care, whatever dinkum we get is fine as long as we WIN.

I will never be happy until the Rally Monkey feels compelled to run out into the middle of the 405 and throw himself at the mercy of the freeway traffic.

Here we go, bitches! Get it done.

[Edmund Dantes]

Interesting. I thought they had tried to keep Orsillo away from Sox postseason games to avoid the "conflict" thing. The question I guess is how far does Orsillo overcompensate to avoid not coming off as a "homer"?
