LEAVE TIMLIN IN!!!! The guys retired about 20 straight in the postseason, let him start the 9th. Have Williamson and Embree ready and for Christsakes DO NOT HIT AND RUN in the bottom of the 8th. Nobody makes more dumb moves that pan out than Grady Little.
btw, if you orginally told me at start of ALCS that nomar, manny and miller haven't hit yet after 4 games and Pedro lost his only start and the Sox were 2-2, I'd take it.
Wakefield and the pen have carried them. You're right, Nomar especially has got to get going. He has done absolutely NOTHING so far this postseason. Sox will need him the next couple games.
