No Game 6 Champagne for the Indians

Champagne tastes as good on the road as it does at home.

A statement similar to that attributed to the Indians Garko was but one of the kindling that became a huge fire against the Tribe Saturday night in Beantown. Saying, and I'm paraphrasing; that the Indians would have liked to have closed out the Red Sox at home, but that Champagne tastes just as good on the road, helped fuel a fire inside the Sox.

Schilling came out and as I predicted yesterday, pitched like vintage Schilling. The bats up and down the whole line up of the Sox supported him. The biggest surprise; at least to me, was JD Drew's Grand slam. Holy Cow! Talk about jump starting your game! WOW!

This was a complete team win. One that brings back memories of 04.

Dice K on the mound tonight. This is what The Red Sox paid ALL that money for. Big time pitcher, big time stage. Let's watch and see him bring home an Academy Award winning performance tonight!

Bull pen arms should be well rested if needed tonight. 5 or 6 good innings out of Dice K, then bring in Lester, Okijima, Timlim if needed and then Papelbon to close it out, rounds out a solid night that will put the Sox back in the World Series!
Maybe we'll see another "Riverdance" by Papelbon when they win it all tonight!

I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl!

I'm Trap & I'm out!

Red Sox Win!

Good Morning, Afternoon, or Evening, depending on when or where you are upon reading this. :)

In a must win situation, the Red Sox down 3 games to one in the ALCS brought Josh Beckett and their season to the mound last night. WOW! What a display of pitching! After a somewhat shaky start (some would say, not I), Beckett settled in and began piching incredibly. Very nice to see all his pitches working, and working effectively.

Weaving his way through the Indians line up, he proceeded to pitch a stellar game. Along with some timely hitting by by his battering mates, Manny being Manny, and a "showdown" with Kenny Lofton, (I still don't know what that was all about) Seems Kenny wants to play mind games, but cannot take it when the hand is reversed on him, the Sox won to stay alive to play another game.

Game six Saturday night in Beantown! Fenway will be rocking, and I believe Schilling who is starting will be the dominate pitcher we have come to enjoy watching the past few years. Let's hope the Sox continue to have the hits coming from up and down the line up!

I'm Trap & I'm out!
