After Game 3 I wrote a story about how the Indians fared against Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz. Turns out Ortiz's injured knee has been really bothering him. It flared up in the marathon of Game 2 and bothered him in Game 3, as the Boston Globe reported here.

Give Ortiz credit for fighting through a torn cartilage injury that will require surgery after the season, but also give credit to the Indians pitchers for limiting his damage in Game 3. Even with a bad knee, Ortiz is dangerous. In the third game he hit one to the wall, nailed one that second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera snagged and lined a shot to right field.
