World Series Thoughts: Two Games In
- Hideki Okajima is the most important player on the Red Sox roster right now. I'm serious. He turned last night's game into a five-inning affair.
- Dear Fox producers: the first time at team hits a bunch of doubles and you play "Double Vision," it's funny. The eighteenth time, I want to find you and do horrible, painful things to you.
- I want to meet the Rockies' second baseman, just so I can say he's a Kazuo acquaintance.
- I wish I knew what percentage of people watching last night's game had the exact same thought I did when Papelbon picked off Matt Holliday. To wit: "Guess he shouldn't have taken a Holliday on the bases!" My guess is somewhere between 30 and 40 percent.
- P.S. to Fox producers: Playing Green Day's Holiday when talking about Matt Holliday isn't funny any more either.
- The difference between 2004 and 2007: I was never scared last night that the Red Sox only had a one-run lead. Three years ago, I would have been terrified.
- I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Red Sox should sit Ortiz in Colorado, and put J.D. Drew in the 3-hole. Wow, I just died a little inside.
