Red Sox win. Patriots win. It's a good Sunday in New England.
Great, great starting pitching by Jon Lester again led the way in this win. Jon Papelbon could use a few days off as every pitch was up in the zone as he was touched up for 2 runs today. If not for a bad out call at 2B on Lyle Overbay, we may be talking about a loss. Don't be surprised to see Masterson get the call to close, if needed, on Monday.
1 game back, 2 in the loss column as the Sox get ready for 3 in Tampa Bay. I would expect 3 more low scoring games that could go either way. Our starters line up well with Matsuzaka, Beckett & Wakefield going to the hill. 2 wins would put the Sox in a statistical tie for 1st place. The Rays have 15 games left while the Sox are down to 13.
It's a great finish to the regular season. Don't be surprised to see more Sox fans than Rays fans in Tampa Bay. I say the Sox take 2 out of 3.
