Real quick before I go drive the car to an early inspection (god I hate dry cleaners).<BR/><BR/>Can argue both ways about when Francona should have pulled Schilling. No time right now, but I am sure we can pull up some stat about number of pitches for Schilling and ERA. I seem to remember that after 86 pitches Schilling really stunk, but after 100 he was really good again. CI was on the 90th?.<BR/><BR/>Good comeback in the 9th, and that is a set up for game 7 in the ALCS. Same situation, same batter and the results are euphoria.<BR/><BR/>RS & L-girl - have fun at the games. If you take pics I expect RS to be in charge of the Camera, that way we will see something besides LBJ!! ;).<BR/><BR/>Toodle loo, off for my 6:30 appointment.s1chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012981832351433952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-87139654644947776782007-09-17T02:39:00.000-07:002007-09-17T02:39:00.000-07:00Seems I can't even go to sleep without a lead bein...Seems I can't even go to sleep without a lead being given up.<BR/><BR/>You lot are hopeless.<BR/><BR/>Seriously dis-chuffed.

That would be 6 straight wins for both the Red Sox and Tigers.<BR/><BR/>Unlikely, but it's whatcha hope for. Of course, it could get done on Wednesday, but that means the Sox would have to win three and the Tigers win three. Don't want to be seeing the Tigers lose any, though.<BR/><BR/>That's it. Too much late-night baseball thinking. It's time for bed.<BR/><BR/>RS, if I don't talk to you or L before tomorrow night, have a ton of fun... and bring a sign! Represent Joy Nation!
