Millar throwing out first pitch

BOSTON - Can it get stranger at Fenway Park?

Cheers for J.D. Drew, and then a Curtain call.

Even cheers for Eric Gagne at the end.

The Boston Red Sox are one win away from a World Series berth and they are bringing all their positive mojo in for Game 7, starting with Kevin Millar.

Millar, the former Cowboy-up, cheerleading first baseman for the Sox is going to throw out the first pitch.

The Dropkick Murphys are singing the National Anthem.

But for the feel-good momentum around Fenway Park, Sunday's game, for a large part, will come down to the pitchers, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Jake Westbrook.

"It's going to be a good match-up," Drew said. "It's still a matter of us playing good defense behind Daisuke, and him working ahead and throwing strikes.

"And then, as far as facing Westbrook, he kind of had us off balance in the first game. We'll have to make some adjustments."

I'll check back this afternoon from Fenway.

Would have been nice to hear the Dropkick Murphys sing the anthem, but apparent patriotism means little to FOX SPORTS
