Bonus
The Red Sox got some serious bonus pay last night with C.C. Sabathia being so, so bad. No one expected Sabathia to lay an egg, but he did just that. This was great news b/c the game 1 match-up was supposed to be so tough. It also forced the Indians deep into their bullpen (3.2 IP).
Tonight Fausto Carmona, a very different pitcher, will try to even the score and don't expect another egg.
Peter asked for a prediction from me for this round. Well, I'm not usually into predictions, that's his category. Also, there is now 1 game done, so a prediction from me is likely to be greeted with scorn and ridicule, much like the other aspects of my life...sniffles. Anyway, Red Sox in 6 (I know, I know, they are already up 1-0).
8:07 pm start: Schilling vs Carmona
Comments
I don't think you can say that about CC. He wasn't good in Game 1 against the Yankees (walked 6) and he got shelled last night. In Boston or New York we would now label him a great "regular season" guy.
And, I think your prediction is a good, albeit late, one.

2 starts isn't nearly a big enough sample size for a permanent label like that. But considering that's the only sample we have, he certainly can't be called a given a playoff stud, especially in Boston and New York.
