PrintGod knows what'll happen tonight. Should be a great pitching matchup but Boston has beaten up Kazmir this year -- 18 ER in 18 IP. Beckett's been quite good vs. TB this year (2.07 ERA) but the Rays have seen him 5 times already. If they don't hit him tonight, it won't be from a lack of familiarity.
As always, check out the sbnation postseason portal w/ links to the Rays and Sox sites or just enjoy the talk here. Let's go Rays. If for no other reason, than to get 6 or 7 out of the series.

Can anyone say "Conundrum"?
1. Rays/Red Sox ALCS Game 2
2. Missuorah/OK State
3. Wisconsin/Penn State
I know someone who’s gonna get carpal tunnel syndrome tonight flipping back and forth between all the games. Thank goodness the Illini and Oklahoma games have already been played.
And that was an atrocious game played and coached by the Illini today.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
not Fenway South, eh?
I knew that sold-out thing seemed… fishy.

I missed it (had on the Mizzou game)
what did they say? Cause I’ve got some questions about the seating arrangement in that bowl.

didn't say anything
There was just quite a roar when the Sauks scored first.
Now what they are saying is “How tough is it to not know if you’re Josh Beckett?”
Er yeah. I wish I were more drunk so I could have mis-heard that.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
I don't even know what that's supposed to mean
Anyway, are they not selling this place out or are they just not selling the seats up top?
And why wouldn’t they sell those seats? Seems like the place is pretty full. And if they aren’t, why are those seats up there? I was starting to think they weren’t selling them because of the catwalks, but weren’t the catwalks always there since the building was built? And it was constructed to be a baseball stadium, so I’m just confused by the whole thing.

meant
They were claiming the sell-out wasn’t just so East Coast fans could turn it into their own personal home field, and it was their own fans buying it up.
Now that I see more crowd shots, though, I think the Rays crowd was really quiet and the Sox fans were really obnoxiously loud.

Kazmir
How unbelievable is it that he was traded for Victor Zambrano? I mean, even if you thought he was an injury risk, hello Rick Peterson, you could have gotten so much more. Nice job Duquette – surprised ESPN has not hired him for Baseball Tonight.
deeeeeeep into the night!

This game has a Red Sox win written all over it.
And as usual in the post season their opposing team chokes…..enter Dan Wheeler’s wild pitch.

more runs
more hits. longer at bats. more pitcher changes.
not exactly sure, but you can definitely see a difference in looking at game times in the box scores.

It's funny hearing Rooney complain about AL games now
he said awhile back that he is so glad to call NL games now so he can actually have a life at night after the games.

So you think there is an offensive/defensive differential that's greater
in the AL?

Well, why are there longer at bats, for example?
That implies either the pace is arbitrarily slower, or the pitchers are weaker, relatively speaking than the hitters when compared with the same NL equation.

the DH
creates a gravitational pull which affects the curvature of space-time.

Well, AL lineups are better top to bottom
Then you’ve got the DH (a professional hitter) taking the place of the pitcher. Most NL lineups are real weak in the 8 and 9 holes while AL teams aren’t.

Okay, but that is mostly the DH effect then.
I was wondering if there was another factor. Stronger hitting I understand. But it also would imply pitching doesn’t keep pace. I guess I’m positing that the AL pitching is probably pretty close to the same quality as the NL, even if the hitters are at least a notch better overall.

From everything I've heard
pitching is better in the AL as well. That’s why pitchers always improve when they come to the NL.
