ALDS Game 1: Red Sox vs. Angels
by evan brunell | Oct 4, 2009 | Clay Buchholz, Game Threads, Tomo Ohka
GAME NOTES: Clay Buchholz gets a tune-up before the regular season ends. Keep an eye on the Tigers/Twins. If both win or lose, a playoff game will have to occur Tuesday afternoon — meaning the Sox won’t know if Game 1 of the ALDS is Wednesday or Thursday....

GAME NOTES: Dice-K enters his final start before October. He’s looked a new man after missing most of the season with assorted problems. Can he keep it up?

GAME NOTES: You could make the case Cleveland is worse than Toronto and Kansas City. Let’s hope so… so we can finally win a freaking game. Jon Lester takes the mound in a big tune-up game for him.

GAME NOTES: Josh Beckett has been scratched with mild back spasms with Michael Bowden taking his place. We looked so good going into October: a great bullpen, a good 1-4 rotation and a clicking offense. Now? Our top two pitchers are hobbled and our offense looks feast...

GAME NOTES: Whatever.

GAME NOTES: A huge test on if Dice can be trusted … ok, he can’t ever be trusted this season, so let me modify… A huge test on if Dice can be somewhat trusted in the playoffs will come with his performance against the Yankees. If the dam breaks, it...

GAME NOTES: Jon Lester, the probable ace in October, duels against Joba Chamberlain who is fighting for his rotation spot (versus Chad Gaudin).
