That being said, you can only do it so many times till it catches you.
That and this team (red sox) is not where near is as good as 2004, flip side is this White Sox team better then 2003 Oakland?
I dunno, Wake on Friday, Schilling on Sunday, both at home, Sox are strong at home (except against Toronto!) Could easily see this going back to Chicago for game 5. Of course, we saw what Contreras did to the sox in game #1.
That and as of right now, the sox don't have a game #5 pitcher. They already announced Clemment to the pen.
They could save Arroyo, but using Papelbon tonight, he might need him over the weekend. The most likely option is Wells on 3days rest.
There's also a chance that Saturday may get rained out. They're saying this would give Wells an extra day of rest? Wouldn't they just play Sunday/Monday rather then Sat/Mon?
Dunno, Tip my hat to the White Sox though, the "small ball" that people make fun of them for is what kept runners in scoring position and w/o that the error wouldn't have mean't anything.

I'm glad you commented on "you can only do it so many times" because that's all we are going to hear during the broadcast tomorrow. How the BoSox have made miracle comebacks before and this is no different blah blah blah.
Their backs are up against the monster and I think you are forgeting one major thing about the game tomorrow....
they have to face one of the best road pitchers in baseball, as well as one of the best day game pitchers, in Freddy Garcia.
