WS Game 2 Bottom 4

I'm getting the idea that Fox wants us to watch House. Never seen it, never will.
Manny needs to be Manny right here. Strike one. Am I missing them, or have the Penis Pills been banished for the evening? Hallelujah! At 0-2, Manny pops to Atkins.
Lowell would be a good guy to get things started. Ball one. At 2-0 Mike bangs one off his bunion. It's Alliteration Thursday! At 3-1 Mikey walks. Maybe Drew's awake, and can do something.
JD rips a single to right, the speed merchant Lowell chugs into third, and on a dumb throw to third, Drew takes second. The Captain will score one, if not both of them, count on it.
On the first pitch, Tek flies to Taveras in deep center; Lowell scores, Drew advances to 3rd. That's why he's The Captain!
Ellsbury takes ball one. Jacoby works Jimenez to 3-1. Come on, kid. Ball 4! First and third for Lugo. Which brings Apodaca out to the mound for his first visit of the night.
Lugo didn't hit all year except when runners were in scoring position. He had 73 RBI on a .237 average. Not easy to do, unless your name is Dave Kingman. Strike one. On the second pitch, Lugo just missed a double down the third base line. 0-2. It was foul; good call, Mike Everitt. Ball one, and Ellsbury steals second. WE GOT TACOS! Visit your local Taco Bell on October 30, and demand your World Series Stolen Base Taco! Lugo dives for his life from ball two, 2-2. Ball three, full count. Argh! Roller to Helton. He's never missed one of those in his life.
Nevertheless, Schill's even. 1-1 after 4.
Jimenez, Inning: 21 pitches, only 10 of them strikes; Game: 64 pitches, 35 strikes.
He's now an inning's worth of pitches beyond Schilling. Stay the course, boys. Ugh, that sounds like the Doofus-in-Chief.
