Nomally I'd think that, being a long time Sox fan and all. This time, the way the Cards have been playing, I tend to think the Sox have a very good chance of winning it tonight. The Cards really seem to be cursing themselves and have given up/slumping.... while the Sox have had all the luck going their way and playing confidently. That can change in a hurry, so, who knows.

I think Lowe's going to be effective tonight, so, it should at least be a close game. Plus we have Arroyo and Wakefield available for backups (I'd guess Wakefield--even though he got in trouble in game 1, he's still effective, and that leaves Arroyo for Game 5 if needed; Schilling for Game 6; and Pedro for Game 7 (ugh--don't want to see that).

If Bosox can get an early lead again tonight, well, that may be it. If not... let me just say I'll be glad when the season is over, either outcome... my nerves are shot!
I don't trust the white rasta(arroyo). Most likely they will win it.

yeah, i just want it to end (with a nice celebration, so let the cards win today please). But if Cards play agin like they played last night (why would you try to run hom when Manny was not even deep?), yeah, i think it will be over.

I'd try as Manny hasn't exactly had a stellar defensive Series... Besides, when you're down 2-0, you're going to gamble... no sense playing it safe..

They win tonight.

There is no curse except in the minds of greedy and unimaginative writers, and pathetic Yankee fans who are in denial.

Don't worry Yankees and their fans, you have about 6 months to stew in it. Pray that georgie hits a couple of bullseyes as he throws money out to players like it is going out of style.

As for the rest of the red sox fans, I will see you all at the Parade on friday or saturday.

The Sox winning will also provide hope for the Cub fans
