KW's right on about the whole on-paper thing. On paper we should sweep the WS. On paper, Detroit was nowhere to be found. On paper, supposedly it was going to be a shootout between us and Cleveland for the Central.
Oh well!
But I like that attitude. Time to stop thinking about coulda/shoulda/woulda and just get on with it. It's clutch time.
Sounds to me like K-Dubs has accepted the fact that the starters will get lit up and our best chance is to outslug the opposition and hand it over to the pen.
As for tonight, if at any point during the first three innings Mark should happen to give up two hits in a row, Sandy, or Coop needs to come out to the mound, smack him on the ass and ask him where they're going to dinner after the game. Every hitter in the league sees MB as a tee stand right now and will be jumping all over the 1st pitch. DO NOT LET THE GAME GET OUT OF HAND IN A SPAN OF 8 PITCHES AND 90 SECONDS.
