Every team that starts a series on the road goes into the series thinking that if they can 1 out of 2 they'll be in a good position to win the series.

F*** That!

I like Papi's chances tonight.

That's right. And guess what the name of the character Gary Coleman played in "The Kid with the 200 IQ"?

Yup.

"Daisuke Matsuzaka."

I can't tell which name I prefer for my future son, "Torii" or "Chone."

Or perhaps Jaohn, or maybe Jayzen.

So you're reneging on Jor-El, just because Nic Cage already named his kid Kal-El?

Weak.

By the way, Kal-El Cage turns 3 today.

Kal-El is Hebrew, just like Shrek is yiddish. But don't tell the masses.

Maybe I should name my kids "Bristol" or "Trip."

Isn't the idea in the post season to have your OPTIMAL line-up?
I mean really.

They said Kotsay has great numbers against Santana. Otherwise I would have liked to have seen Casey in there. Don't know why Lowrie's alleged jitters is an issue unless they are still pissed at that error.

I have no problem with this lineup unless Dice-K starts giving up bases-loaded hits and we need more offense.

Mark Kotsay starting at 1B in the playoffs is ridiculous

Is Pedroia heading into a slump? He looks pretty bad.
One hell of a time to start a slump.

[MFLetou]

Yeah I think Casey has been screwed this year.

Santana really has nasty stuff. We're going to have to be patient, but that will be tough if he pounds the strike zone. I wonder if he really can throw that slider for a strike...if not, the key to the game will be pitch recognition.

[BigSlick]

DREEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!

1-0

Edit: F Manny! 4-0!!!!!!!!!
