Thanks, Scott

I think the name of the choker is "Hideki," although the one who
really needs choking here is Francona.

OKi should be used for ONE purpose right now: mop-up.



According to DOC, Francona was bringing him in because of the
"matchups"....and it would be "hindsight" to second guess such a
brilliant move.

(Although, my post "Game over...here comes Oki" was posted before that
inning, because I was watching it on Tivo on a delay. I forgot the
game was on a delay when I posted.)
