All right. Fifteen minutes to first pitch. The biggest regular season baseball game in...what? I don't know. I can't think of a bigger one. And this is about as good as it gets --the game seven analogy that's been bandied about all day is valid. It's disappointing if your team loses in the playoffs (we should know), but, hey, they got there. A loss tonight would be heartbreaking.
No surprises in the starting lineups.
In terms of keys to the game, duh. Duh. And duh. It's a difficult game to play, but it's not that complicated.
