The regular season of 95 wins is over. The Sox finished off a sweep of the Indians with the help of a grand slam from Jed Lowrie. Now it's onto Anaheim for the ALDS either Wednesday or Thursday.
Clay Buchholz had another so-so outing. Like Josh Beckett, both have pitched in victories but have not looked especially sharp lately. However, for better or worse, they are what we have, along with Lester & Dice-K, going into the playoffs. We will need good outings from all 4 starters to beat the Angels.
The offense & defense look ready to go. Great news about Alex Gonzalez & his wrist being OK. As usual, however, the playoffs are all about pitching. Look what Shields & Garza did for Tampa Bay last year. Look what Beckett & Schilling did in 2007.
Dial it up, pitchers! Let's throw some good games this week & get rid of the Angels. We're in their heads in the post-season & they know it.
