Sure, Sox CAN win it ... both teams essentially tied for 6th in majors in Secret Sauce (pitcher strikeouts/defense/closer).

Carl Crawford is back for the playoffs, Carlos Quentin is not.

"And Joe Maddon, he says, he quotes Camus, the philospher, and says, 'Integrity has no rules.'"
HR surprisingly unfamiliar with Camus, unless it's the Camus toe on some TBS intern.

HR's explains bullpens, pt. 230:
A bullpen that pitches for ERA: selfish
A bullpen that pitches for the situation: good teammates
― Andy K, Thursday, 2 October 2008 21:16 (seventeen years ago)
Like any pitcher enters a bases loaded situation thinking, "Yeah, let's clear these bases first -- then I'll get down to business."

In his second-to-last start, he did surrender a quad pack of soft shells to noted Tiger greats Ramon Santiago (2), Dusty Ryan, and ex-Olympian Mike Hessman.

The benefit of being a pitcher who throws strikes is that you can get guys out.
― Andy K, Sunday, 5 October 2008 22:59 (seventeen years ago)
Hope the young pitchers out there got that important lesson relayed from HR.
― Andy K, Sunday, 5 October 2008 23:00 (seventeen years ago)
Of course the downside of throwing strikes is that you sometimes give up HRs.

I love how Carlos Pena who has attempted 4 stolen bases in the past 4 seasons tries to steal twice today.

This wearing your team's colors at a game concept is pretty novel. Bill Veeck never thought of it.

LOL at Reynolds elaborately pining for Thome to bunt down the third base line and Orsillo saying "And Maddon would take it, given the situation."

It really is amazing how the Rays managed to get this far without dropping down bunts during the appropriate situations.
― Andy K, Monday, 6 October 2008 23:20 (seventeen years ago)
Oh look a run managed to cross the plate without the benefit of a bunt.
― Andy K, Monday, 6 October 2008 23:23 (seventeen years ago)
Rays catch a break there.
that was only due to the threat of a bunt duh

Reynolds' philosophical summary (paraphrasing Chicago's failure: "This is what happens to teams that don't bunt, manufacture runs, and instead wait for the longball") made tolerable by that long shot of Upton jogging into the infield after the final out.
