But those wins were in Oakland, and everybody knows the Sox are dangerous at home.

Everybody knows lots of stuff. Everybody "knew" that the Yanks had an advantage last night - the Sox were supposedly tired, they didn't have Damon, and on paper Mussina is better than Wakefield. And yet the Sox won.

I'm just not into drawing any conclusions after 1 game.

Should be a good game tonight. The Yankees can't afford to lose this one as well...

Arrian, Anyone can whatever, whenever, to whomever. But its defintely not good to be agst the odds.

Hence people saying yanks will be doomed if they lose game 2. Playing at fenway and needing to win 2/3 games is not what they want to do. And they do not want to have to win agst Pedro either. Yes Yankees have beat Pedro in the past, but did you know that kerry woods "can" hit a HR? I mean he has dones so in the past, yet I dont expect to see Woods hit one when he's up at the plate agst MArlins this week.

Boston won a five game series after losing the first two... they were given up for dead. Anything can happen.

But I still want to see a Boston/Chicago World Series.

Yanks win... 6 - 2 and a pretty boring game.

Back to Boston for Pedro vs Clemons. Should be a good match up

Terribly boring game.

I didn't find it quite so boring Good to see Nick Johnson finally get a hit, and Giambi get a couple. That was big. Oh, and Contreras looks good in the role of "get us to Mo" who, incidently, looks as good as he's ever looked.

The Sox have the edge for game 3, but you never know with Roger. Sometimes he looks downright ordinary, and sometimes he's still capable of an amazing outing. We'll see. Pedro's thrown a lot of pitches lately, and though his performances were good, they weren't exactly vintage, were they?

After doing their best not to. Didn't the Yankees win the World Series a zillion years ago with one of those strikeout singles?

"strikeout single"

Is that what that was called? I'm normally not much of a baseball watcher, but because the Cubs made it to the Championship series this year. So I'm not familiar with all the unusual rules. Then if on the third strike, the catcher misses the ball, it's considered a hit? Am I understanding that right?

On a 3rd strike (I forget if the batter needs to have swung at the ball), if the pitch is dropped by the catcher, it's considered "in play". It's not automatically a hit. That's why he had to run to 1st and beat out the play.

There's a very funny story about the Cubs and the end of the world called "The Last Pennant Before Armageddon." It's by WP Kinsella, the author of Shoeless Joe (on which Field of Dreams was based) and is in his terrific baseball-themed collection The Thrill of the Grass. Well worth checking out, regardless of whether or not you're a baseball fan.

The Cubs just love scoring in the first innning of these games... A Grand Slam to take a 4 - 0 lead after the top of the first.

Looks very good for the Cubs, but evil incarnate looks to be the winner in the other series. Can you imagine a Cubs Yankees series? The whole country except for NYC and parts of NJ and CT will be rooting for the Cubs.

Now look for Che & Bunnygrrl. They look like a goofy-looking long-haired white guy next to a perpetually happy-looking black girl.

Game 4 of the ALCS is postponed because of the rain in the New England area. Way too many advantages for the Sox in this move to speak of... but no matter. The Sox still have no chance.
