Sox & Angels: Game 1

[Sundowner]

I see Dice K doing what he has all yr.: not losing on the road. and like Archie says, its in their heads. if it comes back to Boston 2-0, game over. interested in what t.b does today. Chi. white sox have had some exp. in the playoff so it will be good to see how rays respond, either way Sox in 08. W/ or W/O Beckett. hoping for rays/RSox alcs

I loved the Ellsbury diving catch, where you could see the intensity on his face when rolled over and popped right back up. Then there was Youkolis's stab at the looping single that allowed him to pivot and throw Vlad out by a mile at third. The look on Vlad's face was priceless, kind of like the "deer in the headlights" look when he saw the ball pass him on to Lowell at 3rd.

Lester was fantastic. Pitching his way out of potential disaster, and coming back for more! Still pitching heat after 100+ pitches has got to be disheartening for the Angels, when you still have to face Dice-K and Beckett. Let's hope that they both hit their mark early.
