One thing I noticed and LOVED last night was some of the batters were swinging away at the first pitch! Since the pitchers were so used to getting that first strike as almost a given, they had to change their approach as the game went on because of the first pitch swinging.

That's how we scored the first run.

Then it boiled down to who could baffle the most batters, although no one was able to baffle Ortiz last night!

Buckholtz is slated to start tomorrow, but depending on how he does and how our batters do, it could also fall on the bullpen (which seemed to get the night off last night).

Mark my words.....St Louis doesn't seem like a team that will give up without a fight.

Let the game begin and may the best team win.


Oh, and no obscure controvercial plays please????

I am a legend in my own mind!

Lackey is scheduled to pitch tomorrow and Peavy will start game 7 if it gets to that. Bucholtz said he'd be available to come out of the bullpen if needed for games 6 or 7. I'm pretty confident in Lackey tomorrow night against Wacha. I have a feeling the Sox will get to him for a few runs.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

That makes more sense.

It was good to not have to use the bullpen last night.
Although Uehara can probably go 1-2 innings if needed, Tazawa should be rested and ready to go as well.

I'm waiting to see if their pitcher is going to start off with first pitch strikes? If so, will our batters take advantage of that again?
