Guest Summaries:
Edes warned that Boston should not get too confident, but game 1 was a good start and the stage is set for Schilling to succeed tonight. He also talked about the key to Boston's offense success is that every hitter will battle during their at-bat, wearing out the opposing pitcher. Davidoff and Charley discussed Terry Francona's standing amongst great baseball managers and also talked about the potential of the Yankees picking a new manager by the end of the week. Crasnick talked about Colordo's bullpen use in Game 1 and how that might damage the confidence of the pitchers involved and affect their performance later in the Series. He also talked about the overwhelming success of Josh Beckett in the postseason. Kepner discussed the mastery of the playoffs by Josh Beckett, how Dustin Pedroia is one of a new breed of exciting, young baseball players, and finally talked about why Don Mattingly is the best fit to be the new New York Yankees manager. Stark also discussed how well Josh Beckett pitched in Game 1, but also said it will be a whole different story tonight with Curt Schilling on the mound, who is not the same power pitching he once was. This will be Ubaldo Jimenez's chance to get Colorado back into the Series. Kingery talked about Boston setting a definite tone in Game 1 and said that Colorado needs to get a split with a win tonight or you could see Boston go on a tear like in the 2004 postseason and sweep the Rockies right into the offseason.
