ALDS 2005 Game 2, Chicago 5 - Boston 4

I know it looks bad, but we've all been here before. It seems as though every year the Red Sox' backs are up against one wall or another. I believe they will win Friday, and also Saturday, forcing a Game 5.

How many times can the Graffanino error possibly be shown? I swear, it's video fodder for everyone in the country who misses talking about the "curse", particularly those in and around New Jerk City who can't throw in enough Buckner references. Sorry, Graffanino is no Buckner and that game was no Game 6 of the World Series. It was a game changing play, but Wells still gave up that homer himself, and the Boston bats couldn't produce ONE run in the 4 innings after that. It was a tough loss, that's all.

At least the Yankees lost too. I love it when A-Fraud blows a big play. Talk about anti-clutch!

The Red Sox have the best home record this year, and the White Sox have the best road record. Wakefield has been our best pitcher, and with any other knuckleballer, I think it'll come down to what side of the bed he "Wake"s up on Friday morning.

Hopefully it's the "I'm gonna throw a 2-hitter" side.
