NOTES: This is the first time since the start of the three division era that the two LCS series have each matched the two best records in their league (96-66). Computer baseball sim Imagine Sports/Diamond Mind Baseball ran the 2007 ALCS 1,000 times, and the Red Sox won 59% of the time. If the Red Sox won game 1, they won the series 72.5% of the time, and if Cleveland won, the Indians won 59% of the time.

I plan on sticking around as long as the trash talking is kept to a minimum. We already have a great head start. ;OD

With JD Drew out of the lineup, the sox are much stronger - should result in 1 or 2 less inning ending double plays.

Twinkle Toes Varitek will pick up his share, though. He's a great man behind the plate, but up at it, he's a liability.

Tito moved Tek down to 7. He is playing this series to win it, egos be damned.

I'll take Drew in the lineup as of late. He is 12/29, 6 BBs, .417 BA, 3 HRs, with 12 RBIs.

He’s the only Sox hitter who struck out all 3 plate appearances against Sabathia this year.
