Daisuke Matsuzaka wasn't brilliant, but he kept his focus and more than got the job done.

The hero of the day, however, was the pesky Dustin Pedroia. Late in a close game, the smallest guy on the field -- perhaps on any Major League diamond this year -- started whacking the ball around like Reggie Jackson and rounding the bases with the same strut.

Quite an impressive young player, someone we can look forward to watching for many years to come. Call him the pocket Pete Rose.

Yesterday Dustin had a night in the sun, but if I had to pick an MVP for the series, it would have to be Kevin Youkilis.

Sources in Hollywood claim that Sydney Pollack has signed Dustin Hoffman (left) to reincarnate his 1982 Academy Award winning role as Dustin Pedroia in the up-coming romantic comedy, "Red Sox Tootsie".

Those two, batting one and two, carried the team when Papi and Manny came down to earth a little. Someone needed to pick up the power numbers, and those boys sailed into the challenge.

A Youkilis smash in the eighth hit the giant Coke bottle on the left field light stanchion smack in the middle. The ball plopped onto the field in front of the scoreboard. The Oracle at Blog from the Future Past is sure this is an omen of even better things to come.
