(With a baseball game tomorrow at 9 in the morning, I'm going to make this quick so I can go to bed)
Here's a few thoughts and/or ideas I have going on here:
--Sox are going to Game 7. I have mixed emotions. They no longer have to come back. They simply have to win. The Indians are now in just as deep as the Sox. However, we also have Daisuke Matsuzaka going against Jake Westbrook. How much more lopsided can you get? Can we still get John Burkett in here to spot start? Or have Beckett pitch on 2 day's rest? Or have Papelbon throw out a 9 inning save?
--Ellsbury finally got a start. Although, instead of replacing J.D. Drew (which he should have), he took Coco Crisp's spot. Good thing that worked out. Had J.D. not hit a grand slam, I would be seriously questioning that move by Francona. At the time, it looked like the mysterious bond holding Drew to that outfield spot should have been snapped. Now? Ramirez-Ellsbury-Drew is looking pretty good to me.
--Did anyone else notice that Drew, regarded as one of the most indifferent players in the league, shot out of the box and sprinted down to first after hitting a shot off of Carmona in the first? Why is it that Drew can do this, with every slacking move he pulls being scrutinized, but Manny is "just being Manny?" I now refuse to any longer accept the theory of "Manny being Manny." I now live by "Manny being Indifferent."
--J.D. Drew hit a grand slam on the 3rd anniversary of the 2nd Boston Red Sox grand slam in postseason history. Eerie.
--Wouldn't a Rockies-Red Sox World Series be just glorious? I think it would.
--I'm scared to watch tomorrow. I really am.
GO SOX!

Why should Ellsbury replaced Drew? Going into yesterday's game, Drew was hitting almost twice what Coco was.
