No longer on the outside. And, with that relief and condfidence, he's clear to hsling two or three hits tonmoght and hit 30 points higher per year from now on. Big hit. Did you see him interviewed afterwards. That was my first exposure to him talking since he hasn't had an important hit since April. He was cool. Reserved. Modest. Focuseed. centered. "Trying to drive it up the middle" .

The blognotes would make a great followup to MONSTER. Dear fellow Blohards, was that the biggest game in a while? Beckett was such a lock that you knew any potential residual Indian mojo was evaporating before your eyes. There is no doubt the befuddled Coco should sit in Boston, and Lugo will wake up with Ellsbury fronting him (and driven by the adrenelin he got from his great bunt) . Anyone else conscious of the those out-of-date grinning Indian logos and whether Ellsbury cares about them? Can he beat them back better than fellow tribesman Joba? These are the first two Native Americans to play in the bigs in decades and that both must beat the racist epithet-bearers to advance is an interesting coincidence. Schilling will step up and scalp them tomorrow. First comment — I have counted on MNOOKIN for incisive commentary all these months…where are you and your typerwriter this series?

Between the x-girlfriend and the World Series t-shirts Cleveland kind of screwed the pooch here. Paps summed it up best when he said "Don't wake a sleeping giant as there will be consequences and repercussions." Man I love that kid. Do you think he and Beckett have a contest where they measure their balls to see who has the biggest? Everyone feeling better?

Panic and scapegoat.</i> Discussing who's playing well and who is not isn't panicking. In fact, you seem to be the one on edge. That’s right, everyone. Panic and scapegoat.
