Once again, The Sox's 2nd baseman, Mark "Walk or Whiff" Bellhorn hit a key home run this week in the postseason. In a 72 hour period, he has become both Bucky Dent and Kirk Gibson.

The Sox win a wild Game 1 11-9 and now we have The Almighty Curt going tonight. Win or Lose this series, Curt Schilling to me is up there with Bird and Orr, getting his ankle cut open 2 (and possible 3) times to pitch. That is the stuff of sports legend 'round these parts. After the series, he'll get it worked on proper and hopefully be ready for Spring Training, but he might not be quite the same again because of the quick fixes, so after his contract is over, he'll most likely retire in Boston.

As a aside, watching the game at Bismo's house last night, Bismo's son declared before the game "The Sox are gonna score 11!"

Good call. We sure needed 11, didn't we?
