Want to know what's going to happen between the Red Sox and the Rays tomorrow night?
Watch the game!
Sports talking heads have been spouting off straight time since last night's game ended, with pretty much every option being offered up. James Shields won't live up to his nickname (Big Game James--he really should apologize to James Worthy of Your Showtime LA Lakers!). Tito Francona will start Jon Lester in Josh Beckett's place. Beckett's injury is really a torn oblique! How on earth would you pitch, even badly, with a torn oblique? Papi's back and ready to break out. Papi's still lost in the woods and last night's homer was luck. Gabe Gross should be deported. (Yeah, he was born in Baltimore, but by Gov. Palin's measure, that's too close to Washington to be a Pro-American part of the country, so, get him out of here!) Evan Longoria is too green to trust in late innings of ALCS games. Hint: the Rays wouldn't be in the ALCS without their soon-to-be-named Rookie of the Year. Papelbon, Wheeler, Howell, Masterson and pretty much anyone else from either bullpen you'd care to name have pitched too many innings to be effective from here on. BJ Upton will cost you as many runs in the outfield as he'll get you at the plate. And so on.
Here's the dead sure certain straight dope: with the performance of the Boston Red Sox in this decade's playoffs, no one has any idea what is going to happen tomorrow night. Or, potentially, Sunday night. This team defies prediction, common sense, logic, gravity and any other laws you've got.
Tune in. You may very well see something that none of us have every seen before!
