That outfield dance shit the Red Sox do is gayer than pastel throw pillows is the backseat of a yellow Volkswagen Beetle.

at least we don't have this as a mascot:

Pedroia leading off today for just the 3rd time since May.

Porcello hasn't had a quality start at home since August 20th against the Yankees. Faced the Astros once this year, back in mid-June, gave up 7 runs in 6 innings.

Charlie Morton making just his 2nd postseason start and first on the road. Last started for Pittsburgh against St. Louis in Game 4 of the 2013 NLDS. Pittsburgh was looking to clinch that day too.

Wait a second, they are starting Charlie MOrton?

Holy Shit

Not surprised. Price obviously isn't available. E-Rod sucked his last time out and couldn't get an out. Carson Smith hasn't thrown in 3 straight games since September of 2015. Austin Maddox is a mop-up guy and has never pitched in a high-leverage situation. Kelly threw 22 pitches yesterday so who knows what you'll get out of him.

Rick Porcello will be the first pitcher since Tim Lincecum in Game 4 of the 2012 NLCS to start a playoff game the same year he led the league in losses.

No pitcher has earned a win in a postseason start the same year they led the league in losses since Livan Hernandez won Game 4 of the 2002 NLDS against the Braves.

Are they considering Sale's availability an advantage for the Astros or Red Sox?

Morton was good this year.

This looks like a vintage 2017 Porcello performance already.

LMFAO at MLB. Can't make this up. Should have just booked this game for 7 PM. Who gives a fuck if the Sox and Yanks are playing at the same time. That's life
