The whole dynamic of the team has changed and a lot of has to do with the clutch performances the team has gotten rather than the choke jobs that we had been known for. That is something that Theo has to get credit on. Getting Schill and Big Papi were moves that went beyond their play on the field. They inspired confidence in others with the way they performed. Now we have a pair of young aces who play better when the stakes are bigger and also a lineup of patient hitters who seem to always get a big hit from somewhere different. Think a game 5 would be a coin-flip, but 99% percent confident it is not going to come to that.

I am guessing a 4 hitter and Papi will finally come thru with that big hit. Now keeping Drew out of the lineup might not have been so smart but look for a solid game from JD. All in Jeff – Red Sox win 4-1.
