For all you BoSox fans out there, an article:
AccuScore World Series Game 1 simulation The good news is that Beckett is statistically the favorite to win Game 1 (and, indeed, the whole series), but the bad news is that these are just statistics. There's no such thing as an optimistic BoSox fan, and the Rockies are hot...
Francona: if you gave me only one present for this holiday season, it would be to keep Ellsbury in the starting lineup. Please don't sacrifice the #8 position in the batting order 'cause you like things as they were during the regular season. Our boys can't win without run support.
Bah.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow.
