I think the latter would be a better use of his talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's impressed me so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they'd only played 8 ......!As a lifetime Bucs fan and obvious fan of the downtrodden, I'm pulling for a Red Sox-Cubs World Series .......

I just picked the wrong starters, although had Lowe been the starter tonight, Pedro would have closed for sure.Down to 4... Yanks, Sox, Cubs, Marlins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say he starts game 3 and 7 and pitches reliefe in a real close game if needed. The sox will throw everything they got to beat the yanks. Williamson pitched great against Oakland and is closer until he blows it if he does. Timlin was lights out so I hope he continues to pitch well. I would think Kim will pitch in game 1 to see if he has any confidence and if he pitches bad we wont see him again. GO SOX!! GO CUBS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will probably end painfully for Red Sox Nation.Woo-hoo! Can I pick 'em or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
