I'm not conceding [censored]. I am a realist-stat analyzing hardcore baseball junkie though and our chances, as they were coming in, aren't great.

I just want them to play good baseball.

True that, you've been very realistic which is something some people should take note of. In my opinion power pitchers dominate the playoffs,

Who should the Sox bench? Lowell? Ortiz? Youklis?

As a Rox fan, I'd say "all three".

But seriously, I think you have to bench Ortiz, and as hot as Youk has been during the post-season, you probably lose very little, bat-wise.

Do you really want Big Papi trying to field a Taveras drag bunt down the first base line? Either way, you gain a hell of a pinch hitter. Even if Youk wasn't so hot, I don't think it's a hard call to make. But with Youk as hot as he is, it's almost a no-brainer.

just having power pitchers isn't the only thing that matters. yeah, they tend to dominate, but not if they walk too many guys. jimenez' K:BB is pretty pedestrian IIRC. i'm not saying he can't be effective, but i seriously doubt it.

NT, if the uke wrapped/spun all the way around manny's body it would be so much better, imo.

it would be even better if it spun all the way around his body and he left his arms up and his dick crawled out of his pants and yawned and started playing it

Jesus Christ the trolls are ridiculous in this thread

Give me a freaking break

Jimenez is a better matchup against the Sox than francis is, period. If his stuff is on, which is a big IF obviously, he will hold the sox to 4 runs in 6 innings of work

We are going to score 5-6 runs in this game I think, so our pitching has to make that stand up.... in other words it's all on Ubaldo tonight

I'd give us a 28% chance of winning, we need too many things to fall into place IMO

Geez, even Vegas gives the Rox a better chance than that.

How can you make this claim when you think any team, no matter how good, with Curt Shcilling on the mound would have a .720 winning percentage against another team with a winning record?

I'm also a realist? I bet BP would put the Sox around a 65%-70% favorite in this game looking at all variables...
