Tonight: What to watch before the playoffs

Red Sox pitcher Mike Timlin gets some video of his own during today's workout at Fenway Park. His subject: Catcher Doug Mirabelli.

Before you hunker down to watch the Red Sox take on the Indians in the playoffs tomorrow night, you could:

Catch The Fabulous Thunderbirds, who will play rhythm and blues this evening at Newport Blues Cafe, 286 Thames St., Newport. Call (401) 841-5510, www.newportblues.com. 9 p.m. $30.

Check out out Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers, who play blues at Chan's Restaurant, 267 Main St., Woonsocket. Call 401-765-1900. Shows at 8 and 10 p.m. $15 early show; $10 late show; $18 both shows. (He's recorded a mean instrumental version of "Who Knows" by Jimi Hendrix from Hendrix's brief Band of Gypsys era.)

As for tomorrow, what to do instead of watching the Red Sox? Which doesn't seem likely in these parts.

Could be a tough night to be in a band -- unless you got tapped to play "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Fenway.
