Red Sox

As a Yankee fan I was amazed when I woke up this morning. I went to bed after Captain America struck out with the bases loaded in the 7th. Never thought that the Sox pen would blow a 5-run lead. Yanks need to win one more for it to be a good weekend in Beantown.

That was perhaps the most boring close game in baseball history..the west coast games were ending before that one!! We can all only pray it is an Angels/Indians ALCS so 9 inning games can be played in under 6 hours!!

If it's Halos/Yanks in the ALCS, then don't worry,they won't come back on the Halos.That team has the Yanks controlled n' medically sedated.For some reason,they just really enjoy playing those Yanks.

Papelbon even gave it up? Well,it is the best hitters money can buy.So,I guess it shouldn't surprise anybody when these money whores hit together sometimes.Even if ya win a game like that,if you're giving up 7 runs,you shouldn't be partying all that hard.

First thing, you are right about them not being able to beat the Halo's. I do not know why, but the Angels just have the Yanks number. Second thing, They do deserve some credit for last night's win. They scored four runs off Okajima. Including back-back HR's by Cano and Giambi, before that he hadn't given up a HR to a lefty all year. For the Yanks, they had the trio off Veras, Henn and Bruney pitch 3 innings and they didn't let the game get away. Then they scored 6 in an inning against Okajima and Papelbon. Sorry SB., that is a great road win being down five going in to the 8th on the road and they have every reason to be excited. Let's see if they can take that momentum in to today's game.

I think the Halos are one of the most aggressive teams in baseball. They make teams make plays on defense.So,it takes really good pitching to shut them down(for instance,Beckett etc....) So,if you have really good starters,then you can beat the Halos.If you don't,they are gunna be all over you.You do not have really good starters.You have some o.k. starters. So,they can get to you.Wang is a control pitcher(ground ball...like Lowe,)and that doesn't work as well against the Halos...Not as well as power pitching(Beckett type) does.As for yesterday's win,the problem is you're pitching gave up 7 runs.Your pitching already gave up atleast 6 today.Your championship teams didn't do that,and it isn't a recipe for post-season victories.
