  To go along with Beckett's gem, if Fausto hurls a shutout tonight that should be enough to surpass the Red Hots in E.R.A. for another point.  Sigh ..........

> That's be great news for Sheffield and the Tigers. "He's excited to know the

> "First off, let me tell you, I am not afraid of Wang pitching against

> expected to start in left field Friday.
> "I think it looks a lot worse than it is," manager Mike Scioscia said of
> Anderson's eye. "Garret assures us his vision's there, he's seeing the ball,
> and that's what's important. Unless his left eye looks as bad as his right
> eye tomorrow, he's starting." Anderson started Game 1 of the NLDS and went
> 0-4.  *Vladimir Guerrero - ANA - OF* *October 5* Vladimir Guerrero (tricep
> tendinitis) worked out in right field during Thursday's day off and is
> expected to start at the position on Friday.
> "I feel really good," said Guerrero, who hasn't started in right since Sept.

> *October 5* Kevin
> Youkilis, who was limited by a sore wrist the final two weeks of the regular
> season, says it is improving every day.
> "Every day that goes by, I feel better," said Youkilis, who added that he's
> dealing more with pain transfer to his elbow than the wrist itself. "When it
> was hurting me, there were days I felt I'd never be able to swing a bat."
> Youkilis put to rest most concerns about his wrist with his home run during
> Game 1 of the ALDS.
