If Roberts doesn't steal that base, the Cardinals are World Champs

GM 4 WP, Curtis Leskanic

I'm his only fan, I think I am the only Red Sox fan to have ever breathed air that recognizes how important his pitching was in GM 4

If the shaky Curt Leskanic does'nt do it, there is no GM 5

Excellent point Rob

Watching Roberts steal the base was huge, it was a big moment. But it almost seemed academic, given how much talent was sitting in the Sox dugout.

But watching Leskanic who has given up runs all season long when brought in, pitch the way he did against that great Yankee line up, and in the playoffs. That's when I really started to feel the possibilitys

I first felt it when Tony Clark's ball bounced into the right field stands for a ground rule double. That's when I first thought that their luck might be changing. Any of you guys see Hansen pitch tonight? 1 ip, 2 k's. They could use a spark from this dude. I hope he's for real.
