The problem that the sox face in game 3 is that either Youkalis, Lowell or Ortiz will have to sit it out.
In games 1 & 2 the Rocks featured a DH batting 9th while the Sox DH was a power hitting MVP contender who makes 15 mil a year.
Then you add in the ruckus Rocks crowd and the fact this pitcher has been hot in the post season.
They have a few things working for them here does Colorado, is all I am saying.
However, the sox kicked ass in IL play on the road this year.

Having excellent pinch hitters on the bench will weigh more heavily in this spot than the 2 or POSSIBLY 3 times that the pitcher will bat. If the pitcher for Boston bats three times, then I GUARANTEE that they will win. Most likely, the starting pitcher will only bat 2 times and possibly only once depending on how hot the Colorday pitcher does
the idea the red sox are in defensive trouble is horribly overrated. while there is some truth to it, it is not a big factor in this game. Manny plays a decent left, Ortiz will catch anything hit or thrown at him. dont look for any defensive gems but its not like he cannot play 1st base.
and any late inning lead will be protected by bringing in Crisp to play center, moving Ellsbury to left and Youkillis in to play 1st.

The ROCKIES make this a series...........
The RED SOX are hurt tremedously by having ORTIZ or YOUK out of the lineup..........tremendously.
Either way Bosox fan wants to view this, it is not a positive.
Again, the ROCKIES make this a series.......by taking at least two out of three in Colorado.

Winning game 4 might be too tough with Lester on the mound. I was hoping that Beckett would start game 4 if they were up 3-0. You might as well let him start and pitch 5 innings and give him the MVP. As it stands now, he will not be the MVP when they sweep.
If you give me +175, then we can bet $50 or $100 on it
