It's really October and I was wrong and right

It's October, the Red Sox are playing to get to the World Series (most likely against the Phillies it looks like) and Manny Ramirez is playing in Dodger blue. Funny, when the Red Sox won the World Series on 2004, they got rid of Nomah, this year they got rid of Manny, coincidence?

I wrote back in June that the Sox were in trouble - well I was a bit off to put it mildly, however it's clear that though they've made it this far, after what I saw from Becket last night, our Sawx going to have to lean, really lean hard on John Lester. Lester is another guy I got wrong, really wrong. It's great to be wrong when your team wins, thankfully for this life-long Sox fan I've been very wrong this year.

Why do the playoffs have to be covered by the most knucklehead commentators? I mean, Buck Martinez and Ron Darling? PULLEEEZE. Bring back Al Leiter, dump Martinez and McCarver, put in Uecher, get some entertainment instead of idiocy.

Anyways, this is becoming an interesting October.
