The Red Sox defeated the Angels 4-1 last night in game 1 of the ALDS. I actually stayed up into the wee hours of the night (stupid west coast games!) watching when I should have been studying a little harder. Lester played a great game on top of an already superb season.

I'm glad Jason Bay came through and opened the door for the offense... can we say, "Manny who?"

I hope they can continue the momentum into the next couple of games. Dice-K pitches on Friday, then Beckett on Sunday. Hopefully we can shut down the Angels 1-2-3, because after Sunday, I think our pitching gets a little weak (and Beckett is supposedly not at full strength)...
