Jacoby Ellsbury; Football Picks

I hate to beat a dead horse but Terry Francona has to sit Coco Crisp down tomorrow night for Game Six of the ALCS and insert Jacoby Ellsbury into the lineup. Crisp is too much of a liability at the plate right now, he has no confidence. All the Ellsbury talk may be getting to him but no matter what the reason is, Crisp is an automatic out at the moment. By getting Ellsbury into the game you are giving the team a needed jolt, something lacking on this team. Ellsbury can leadoff, Pedroia can fall to the two-hole followed by Ortiz, Ramirez, Lowell, Youkilis (playing his best ball since June), Drew (I like Kielty off the bench as a switch hitter), Varitek and Lugo. Coco would still be available to pinch-run or play defense late in the game. With the season on the line this weekend, it's a move that must be made. As for the picks...
