CC is a great pitcher, but he hasn't gotten it done in any of his postseason starts. Maybe all the innings are piling up on him? Who knows. He was lucky to only give up 4 runs, there were tons of baserunners every inning.
I was so excited when Beckett was able to pitch through five innings!! That 4 2/3 innings barrier was getting old. The sox best rotation is still probably Beckett, rain, rain, rain.
Couple thoughts:
- Coco Crisp SUCKS!!!!!! Please bench him. He is completely useless. Can anyone remember the last hard hit ball he had? When called upon to sacrifice he can't even execute that. Get Ellsbury in the lineup!
- If the sox lose this series, much of the blame will be put on Francona (its just the way it works). Barring him pulling a "Grady" I think that will be unfair. Up until tonights game, the Indians have outhit, out starting pitched, out reliefed, and out defensed the red sox. They were just playing better in every phase of the game.
- I like how Eric was calling Casey Blake "Mr Automatic Out" even though he was hitting close to .300! Try watching Drew, Crisp and Lugo!!!! That's a Rat Pack of Automatic Outs! Hell Blake would probably be a better option to hit 6th in the Sox lineup right now
- Perez has got to be close to Gagne territory for Tribe fans. He has looked awful, and it seems like Wedge is going away from him in situations where they would normally go to him
- I'm glad we wont be seeing anymore of those damn towels. Since when did Cleveland decide to take cues from Pittsburgh??
- I am trying to channel the energy of this in 86, this in 99, this in 03 (can't forget that one), and of course this in 04
- There is one game on Saturday night, there will be exactly one game to be played on Saturday night, so win that one game.
Its alive, Its Alive, ITS ALIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!!

Just a couple of comments to your post:
- 2 runs in 6 innings is not bad for CC; it's just not stats for an "ace". Most Tribe fans think Carmona has a better chance to be a dominating ace than CC.
- Perez looks like a different pitcher this series. Don't know why. He was great in the Yanks series. Is it nerves? I don't know.
- What's with the hate on the towels? So what? You'll never guess who was the sponsor for those....
Nestle Quik.
Chris, can you explain how this is logical in any universe?
- We've never - NEVER - clinched a pennant in Cleveland (20, 48, 95, 97) and we don't plan to start now,I guess. And we know we can clinch pennants and win playoff series in Boston (48, 95, 98).
