New Poll Question: What do you expect out of the Kaz/Buchholz game Sunday?
I'll be back with more Saturday morning, guys, but I'm throwing up this thread so we can all drown our sorrows. You probably don't need to hear this again, but Boston is now down 0-2 to the Angels, with the series shifting to Fenway. Is there more Red Sox magic to be had, or is Boston down for the count?
Episode #63 Hosts: Paul Testa, Tim Daloisio Guests: none Ok. Game One is now nothing but a distant memory. Join Paul and I as we take a quick look back at Game One, but more importantly a look forward at Game Two as we call for the Wolf (Josh Beckett) to come clean things up in Anaheim. All that and more on this episode of Fireside Chats after the jump...
New Poll Question: What do you expect out of Josh Beckett tonight? [more after the jump]
As often happens when the Red Sox venture out West for a playoff series (as often happens), there's no more painful post to write than the one scheduled to hit the wires the morning following a late night start like we had in Game One of the ALDS - except of course the post following a game that saw the Red Sox hit their side of the Win Probability ledger only for one fleeting at bat the night prior.
That chart pretty well sums up the Red Sox offense all night against Angels starter John Lackey; flatline.
With the Red Sox ALDS roster now available to the reading public, Tito has ended any speculation as to whether Manny Delcarmen would be carried over into the Division Series and postseason. Manny struggled for much of the latter part of the season, though his lousy September (7 IP, 14.14 ERA, 8 BB, 10 K, 4 HR) was undoubtedly the final nail in the coffin for what was at first a very promising year.
No Rocco Baldelli or Manny Delcarmen.
