Things we know now about the Indians:
- The starting pitching is plenty good enough
- Their bullpen is better, especially the setup guys
- The lineup is very balanced and patient
- Their ability to get key 2-out hits is scary
- They’re playing like they can smell the World Series
Things we know now about the Red Sox:
- Nobody other than Ortiz, Ramirez and Lowell can be counted on to produce
- It’s all about pitching in October, and
- The bullpen is back to its mid-summer shakiness
- Eric Gagne still sucks, and can’t be in the game with less than an 11-run lead
- Of the starters, only Josh Beckett has gotten through the 6th inning.
- The last man I want at the plate with the game on the line is J.D. Drew
- They don’t look like league champions, (though the 2004 Red Sox looked worse, and were facing a 3-1 deficit with games 6 and 7 in New York)
Other important things we know - Tim McCarver is just as annoying as ever
“Can you BELIEVE David Ortiz is swinging away with a 3-0 count? That’s just extraordinary!” No it isn’t, you pinhead. He’s done it consistently for the past few years. - If someone doesn’t figure out a way to control the Rockies, it might not make any difference
