1. Whichever team we play -- Detroit or Minnesota -- will have gone to the wire in a pennant race, and they will be hot. They will be the only post-season team that was playing hard at the end.
2. In a five-game series, the home field advantage is vastly overrated. You must play pivotal games 3 and 4 in their park. If you win at home and lose away, that means you go into Game 5 with their team surging.
3. Though Mariano got saves this weekend, he was tested each time, with game-tying runners in scoring position. The Redsocks were not intimidated.
4. If we face Detroit, it's Justin Verlander in Game 1 and possibly Game 4.
5. The football Giants are dominating. We never seem to play well when the Giants win.
To be fair to #3, since it's one of your only valid points, Boston always hits Mo harder because they see him so often.
